Common questions

When does Shukla Paksha start in March 2027?

The Shukla Paksha window in March 2027: Phalguna Shukla Paksha from 9 Mar 2027 to 22 Mar 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 Shukla 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.
