Purnima 2027 comes 12 times and Amavasya 13 times. The year opens with Amavasya on 7 Jan (Thu) and Pausha Purnima on 22 Jan (Fri).

Purnima 2027 list: vrat and snan-daan dates

In most months the vrat (fast) day and the snan-daan (holy dip and charity) day are the same. When Purnima begins by midday (Madhyahna) on the day before, the vrat moves to that earlier day.

* Some calendars keep the vrat on the snan-daan day itself (17 Aug, 14 Nov). Several Purnimas carry their own festivals, such as Guru Purnima in Ashadha and Raksha Bandhan in Shravana; see the Hindu festival calendar 2027 for those.

Amavasya 2027 list: dates, Somvati and Shani Amavasya

Dates are the sunrise (snan-daan) Amavasya. Months are given as North Indian (purnimanta) / South Indian (amanta). Where Darsha Amavasya, the afternoon Amavasya used for Darsha shraddha, falls a day earlier, it is noted.

* Sarva Pitru (Mahalaya) Amavasya shraddha follows the afternoon (Aparahna) tithi, so it falls on 29 Sep (Wed). Some calendars label the snan-daan day, 30 Sep (Thu), as Sarva Pitru Amavasya. The Darsha days of 3 Jul and 27 Nov are Saturdays, but the Amavasya itself is on Sunday, so they are not Shani Amavasya.

New Delhi timings; your city may differ by a few minutes. Where a tithi straddles two days, dates may differ by a day by region or panchang.

What Purnima is kept for

Purnima is the full-moon tithi. In tradition, it is a day for Satyanarayan katha, a holy dip and daan, and arghya to Chandra (the Moon) at moonrise. Many families keep a vrat until the evening puja and then share the naivedya. Read the Satyanarayan vrat katha before your puja.

A simple Purnima observance at home, in tradition:

• Bathe early and keep a fruit-and-milk fast, as your health allows.
• In the evening, set up the Satyanarayan puja with a kalash, banana leaves, Tulsi and panchamrit.
• Read the katha in its five chapters, then offer aarti and naivedya such as panjiri or sheera.
• At moonrise, offer arghya to Chandra with water, milk and white flowers.
• Give daan of food or clothes to the needy.

What Amavasya is kept for

Amavasya is the new-moon tithi, set aside in tradition for the pitru, the departed ancestors. Families offer tarpan with water, black sesame and kusha grass, give food to the needy, and light a lamp in the evening. Shani Amavasya is kept with Shani puja and daan of mustard oil. On Somvati Amavasya, many married women fast and walk around a peepal tree. Mauni Amavasya is kept with silence (maun) and a holy dip.

Darsha Amavasya is the day the Amavasya tithi covers the afternoon. Darsha shraddha and tarpan are done on that day, while snan and daan follow the sunrise tithi. In 2027 the two days differ on 7 Mar, 3 Jul, 29 Sep and 27 Nov. Many families also book tarpan at a tirtha, where the pandit offers it with the family names and gotra.

When is Somvati Amavasya in 2027?

Somvati Amavasya, an Amavasya that falls on a Monday, comes three times in 2027: 8 Mar, 2 Aug and 27 Dec. In tradition, it is kept with a holy dip, tarpan for ancestors and Shiva puja. Many married women fast and walk around a peepal tree.

Is there a Shani Amavasya in 2027?

Yes, only one. Shani Amavasya falls on 6 Feb 2027 (Sat), which is also Mauni Amavasya. The Darsha days of 3 Jul and 27 Nov are Saturdays. But the Amavasya itself falls on Sunday, so they are not counted as Shani Amavasya.

When is Sarva Pitru Amavasya in 2027?

Sarva Pitru (Mahalaya) Amavasya shraddha is on 29 Sep 2027 (Wed), because shraddha follows the afternoon tithi. The sunrise Amavasya, used for snan and daan, is on 30 Sep (Thu), and some calendars give that day the label. Families performing shraddha usually follow 29 Sep.

Why do some Purnimas have a separate vrat day?

The vrat is kept on the earlier day when Purnima begins by midday, while snan-daan follows the tithi at sunrise. In 2027 this splits two months. In Shravana, the vrat is on 16 Aug (Mon) and snan-daan on 17 Aug (Tue). In Kartika, the vrat is on 13 Nov (Sat) and snan-daan on 14 Nov (Sun).

When is Mauni Amavasya in 2027?

Mauni Amavasya 2027 is on 6 Feb (Sat), the Amavasya of Magha, and it is also Shani Amavasya. In tradition, devotees keep silence (maun), take a holy dip in a river and give daan. Pilgrims going to Prayagraj should check the Mela administration's notice for snan arrangements.

Can Satyanarayan katha be done on any Purnima?

Yes. In tradition, Satyanarayan katha is often kept on Purnima, usually in the evening with family. You can do it at home with the katha and naivedya, or book a temple katha with your name and gotra in the sankalp. Some families also keep it on Ekadashi or Sankranti.
