|---|---|---|
| Kharmas | Monday, 15 March to Tuesday, 13 April | the Sun in Meen until Mesh Sankranti; it closes a wedding and a mundan through Wednesday, 14 April: the Sun changes rashi after that day’s sunrise, so the day still counts as Kharmas; the panchang still gives dates for a janeu, griha pravesh, buying property, a new vehicle or a new business, though many North Indian families wait until it ends |

Every festival of 2027, with its tithi and the rule that dates it, is on Hindu festivals 2027.
On Wednesday, 7 April 2027, Chaitra Shukla Pratipada, the day Chaitra Navratri begins and Gudi Padwa and Ugadi are kept.
No. All twelve months of 2027 are ordinary ones.
25. There are two in each lunar month, one in each paksha. Twelve lunar months give 24; a calendar year is about eleven days longer than twelve lunar months, so 2027 catches one more. June has three. The dates are in the months above, kept for New Delhi.
Friday, 15 January 2027, the day the Sun’s entry into Makar is kept in New Delhi.
