Frequently asked questions
Which Tamil month is August 2027?
1–16 August: Aadi (ஆடி) 16–31 and 17–31 August: Avani (ஆவணி) 1–15 (Plavanga year). A Tamil month changes with the Sun’s Sankranti, so it begins in the middle of the English month.
When does Avani 2027 start?
Avani (ஆவணி) runs from Tuesday, 17 August 2027 to Thursday, 16 September 2027 (31 days). The Sankranti is at 2:17 PM on 17 August 2027, before sunset, so the month begins that day.
Which festivals are in the Tamil calendar for August 2027?
Aadi Amavasai (2 August), Aadi Perukku (3 August), Varalakshmi Vratham (13 August) and Gokulashtami (Krishna Jayanthi) (25 August). Ekadashi: Shravana Putrada Ekadashi on 12 August and Aja Ekadashi on 28 August. Vrats such as Pradosham, Sashti, Karthigai, Pournami and Sankatahara Chaturthi are on their days in the table above.
Which city and which panchangam are the dates for?
By the sunrise of Chennai. The tithi, nakshatra and month dates follow the Thirukanitham (drik) reckoning, which Drik Panchang’s Tamil Panchangam also uses. Many temples and almanacs follow the Vakya Panchangam, in which a month sometimes begins a day earlier or later. For a temple or home ritual, check with your own panchangam or priest.
