Questions families ask

How many Ekadashis are there in 2027?

25 in Washington DC, by the Smarta rule. For 3 of them, the Vaishnava fast is on another day. Ekadashi 2027: dates and parana times

Is there an Adhik Maas in 2027?

No. 2027 has no extra month. A lunar month is an extra month when the Sun enters no new sign during it. How we compute dates

When does Vikram Samvat 2084 begin?

The North Indian count starts the year in Chaitra: in Washington DC, Vikram Samvat 2084 begins on Wednesday, April 7, 2027. The Gujarati count starts the year in Kartika: in Washington DC, its year 2084 begins on Saturday, October 30, 2027.

Are the festival dates the same in India?

Not always. For 15 of the 44 festivals on this page, the date in India (New Delhi) is different. The “Also” column gives it. A tithi changes at one moment for the whole world, and that moment can fall on a different local day in each place. Panchang by city

Words on this page

Samvat: Vikram and Shaka: A count of years. Vikram Samvat is 56 or 57 years ahead of the Western year; Shaka Samvat is 78 or 79 years behind it.
Adhik maas: An extra lunar month, added about every 32 or 33 months, so that the months stay in step with the seasons.
Amanta and purnimanta: Two ways to name the months. An amanta month ends at the new moon. A purnimanta month ends at the full moon.
Sankranti: The moment the Sun enters a new sign of the zodiac. Solar months, such as the Tamil months, begin with a sankranti.
