Questions
August 2027 festivals — common questions
Which festivals fall in August 2027?
Chaturmas (14), Nag Panchami (6), Raksha Bandhan (17), Krishna Janmashtami (25). Every date is computed for sunrise in New Delhi.
When is Ekadashi in August 2027?
12 August 2027, 28 August 2027.
When are Purnima and Amavasya in August 2027?
Purnima: 17 August 2027. Amavasya: 2 August 2027, 31 August 2027.
Are these dates the same in every city?
Nearly, but not always. Sunrise decides which day a tithi names and sunrise differs across India by well over an hour, so in some years an observance falls on a different day in two cities. Each festival's own page has a city switcher.
