Hindu months in December 2027
- Purnimanta (North India)
- Margashirsha (1–13 December) and Paush (14–31 December)
- Amanta (Maharashtra, Gujarat, the South)
- Margashirsha (1–27 December) and Paush (28–31 December)
In the purnimanta reckoning the month changes the day after Purnima, in the amanta reckoning the day after Amavasya. So a Krishna-paksha festival or vrat falls one month earlier in amanta, e.g. Saphala Ekadashi: Pausha Krishna Ekadashi (Amanta: Margashirsha). In Shukla paksha both name the same month.
