Questions
May 2027 festivals — common questions
Which festivals fall in May 2027?
Akshaya Tritiya (9). Every date is computed for sunrise in New Delhi.
When is Ekadashi in May 2027?
2 May 2027, 16 May 2027.
When are Purnima and Amavasya in May 2027?
Purnima: 20 May 2027. Amavasya: 6 May 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.
