Frequently asked questions

Which Tamil month is December 2027?

1–15 December: Karthigai (கார்த்திகை) 15–29 and 16–31 December: Margazhi (மார்கழி) 1–16 (Plavanga year). A Tamil month changes with the Sun’s Sankranti, so it begins in the middle of the English month.

When does Margazhi 2027 start?

Margazhi (மார்கழி) runs from Thursday, 16 December 2027 to Friday, 14 January 2028 (30 days). The Sankranti is at 4:43 PM on 16 December 2027, before sunset, so the month begins that day.

Which festivals are in the Tamil calendar for December 2027?

Karthigai Deepam (11 December). Ekadashi: Mokshada Ekadashi on 9 December and Saphala Ekadashi on 23 December. 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.
