Govardhan Puja / Annakut 2027: Saturday, 30 October 2027
Shukla Pratipada · amanta Kartika · computed for New Delhi
Govardhan Puja / Annakut in 2027 falls on Saturday, 30 October 2027. It is kept on the Shukla Pratipada of amanta Kartika.
Why Govardhan Puja Is on 30 October in 2027
The Shukla Pratipada begins at 19:06 on 29 October 2027 and ends at 17:52 on 30 October 2027. The 2027 instants are the same everywhere; only the clock they are read on changes. The rule recorded for Govardhan Puja tests the tithi at sunrise, the default test for most of the calendar.
On 30 October 2027 the Sun rises at 06:31 and sets at 17:37 at New Delhi. The Shukla Pratipada is running at that sunrise, which is the test, so 30 October 2027 is the day.
In 2027 the Shukla Pratipada lasts 22 hours 46 minutes, against 25 hours 28 minutes in 2026 and 20 hours 35 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 6 minutes from sunrise to sunset at New Delhi.
The daily panchang for 30 October 2027 gives Shukla Pratipada at sunrise; the day before, Amavasya; the day after, Shukla Dwitiya. At that sunrise the yoga is Ayushman and the karana Bava. The panchang for 30 October 2027 has the rest of the day.
When the Shukla Pratipada begins, the Moon is in Swati, ruled by Rahu.
