Chhath Puja 2027: Thursday, 4 November 2027
Shukla Shashthi · amanta Kartika · computed for New Delhi
Chhath Puja in 2027 falls on Thursday, 4 November 2027. It is kept on the Shukla Shashthi of amanta Kartika.
Why Chhath Puja Is on 4 November in 2027
The Shukla Shashthi begins at 19:32 on 3 November 2027 and ends at 21:38 on 4 November 2027. The 2027 instants are the same everywhere; only the clock they are read on changes. The rule recorded for Chhath Puja tests the tithi at pradosh, the span that begins at sunset (“tithi at pradosh”).
On 4 November 2027 the Sun rises at 06:34 and sets at 17:34 at New Delhi. The Shukla Shashthi is already running at sunrise, so on 4 November 2027 the sunrise rule and the pradosh rule agree.
In 2027 the Shukla Shashthi lasts 26 hours 6 minutes, against 26 hours 37 minutes in 2026 and 23 hours 59 minutes in 2028: a tithi is twelve degrees of the Moon’s gain on the Sun, and the Moon never gains at a steady rate. The day itself runs 11 hours 0 minutes from sunrise to sunset at New Delhi, and sunset at 17:34 on 4 November 2027 falls inside the Shukla Shashthi.
The daily panchang for 4 November 2027 gives Shukla Shashthi at sunrise; the day before, Shukla Panchami; the day after, Shukla Saptami. At that sunrise the yoga is Dhriti and the karana Kaulava. The panchang for 4 November 2027 has the rest of the day.
When the Shukla Shashthi begins, the Moon is in Purva Ashadha, ruled by Venus.
