Common questions
When does Vaishakh start in 2027?
Vaishakh 2027 starts on Wednesday, 21 April 2027 in the North Indian purnimanta calendar, and on Friday, 7 May 2027 in the amanta calendar used in Maharashtra, Gujarat, and South India.
When does Vaishakh end in 2027?
The purnimanta month ends on Vaishakha Purnima, Thursday, 20 May 2027. The amanta month ends on Vaishakha Amavasya, Friday, 4 June 2027.
Why do North and South India show different dates?
Both systems use the same new-moon and full-moon moments. Purnimanta months end on Purnima, amanta months end on Amavasya, so the month name shifts by a fortnight for the Krishna paksha. Festival dates are the same; only the month label differs.
