Dates for your city
A festival or vrat is fixed by the tithi at sunrise, midday, sunset or moonrise, and those come at different clock times in different places. Across India the dates above almost always hold; now and then one moves by a day, and abroad that happens more often. A city's month calendar shows each day's tithi and nakshatra at its own sunrise, with festivals and vrats marked.

When is Holi 2027?
Holi, the day of colours, is on Monday, 22 March 2027; Holika Dahan is the evening of Sunday, 21 March 2027 (New Delhi).
How many Ekadashis are there in 2027?
25, from Saphala Ekadashi on Sunday, 3 January 2027 to Saphala Ekadashi on Thursday, 23 December 2027 (New Delhi dates). A lunar year has 24, or 26 with an extra month; a calendar year can hold one more or one fewer because the two don't line up.
How many Purnimas and Amavasyas are there in 2027?
12 Purnimas (Full Moons) and 13 Amavasyas (New Moons), with 12 Sankashti Chaturthis and 25 Pradosh Vrats.
Which Vikram Samvat begins in 2027?
Vikram Samvat 2084 (and Shaka 1949) begins on Chaitra Shukla Pratipada, Wednesday, 7 April 2027, celebrated as Gudi Padwa in Maharashtra and Ugadi in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. In Gujarat the Vikram year traditionally turns on the day after Diwali instead.
Will these dates be the same in my city?
Almost always within India. A festival or vrat is set by the tithi at sunrise, midday, sunset or moonrise, and those come at different clock times in different places, so now and then a date moves by a day; outside India it does so more often. Your city's month calendar and Panchang show the dates by your own sunrise.
