Hindu months in March 2027
- Purnimanta (North India)
- Phalgun (1–22 March) and Chaitra (23–31 March)
- Amanta (Maharashtra, Gujarat, the South)
- Magh (1–8 March) and Phalgun (9–31 March)
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. Vijaya Ekadashi: Phalguna Krishna Ekadashi (Amanta: Magha). In Shukla paksha both name the same month.
