Common questions
When does Krishna Paksha start in July 2027?
The Krishna Paksha windows in July 2027: Ashadha Krishna Paksha from 1 Jul 2027 to 4 Jul 2027, and Shravana Krishna Paksha from 19 Jul 2027 to 31 Jul 2027.
Why can one civil month have two windows?
A lunar fortnight is about 14–15 civil days, so a civil month usually contains one full Krishna Paksha and can also catch the tail of the previous one at the start of the month. The Hindu month label changes between the two windows.
Do these dates change by city?
The paksha itself is a Moon phase and does not depend on location, but the tithi at sunrise can differ by a day between time zones. This table uses the Mumbai India-baseline sunrise.
