Frequently asked questions
Which Tamil month is October 2027?
1–17 October: Purattasi (புரட்டாசி) 15–31 and 18–31 October: Aippasi (ஐப்பசி) 1–14 (Plavanga year). A Tamil month changes with the Sun’s Sankranti, so it begins in the middle of the English month.
When does Aippasi 2027 start?
Aippasi (ஐப்பசி) runs from Monday, 18 October 2027 to Tuesday, 16 November 2027 (30 days). The Sankranti is at 2:14 AM on 18 October 2027, before sunset, so the month begins that day.
Which festivals are in the Tamil calendar for October 2027?
Ayudha Pooja (9 October), Vijayadashami (9 October) and Deepavali (28 October). Ekadashi: Papankusha Ekadashi on 11 October and Rama Ekadashi on 25 October. 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.
