Gudi Padwa, Ugadi & Chaitra Navratri 2027: Wednesday, 7 April 2027
Shukla Pratipada · amanta Chaitra · computed for New Delhi
Gudi Padwa, Ugadi & Chaitra Navratri in 2027 falls on Wednesday, 7 April 2027. It is kept on the Shukla Pratipada of amanta Chaitra.
Why Gudi Padwa Is on 7 April in 2027
The Shukla Pratipada begins at 05:21 on 7 April 2027 and ends at 04:29 on 8 April 2027. The 2027 instants are the same everywhere; only the clock they are read on changes. The rule recorded for Gudi Padwa tests the tithi at sunrise, the default test for most of the calendar.
On 7 April 2027 the Sun rises at 06:05 and sets at 18:42 at New Delhi. The Shukla Pratipada is running at that sunrise, which is the test, so 7 April 2027 is the day.
In 2027 the Shukla Pratipada lasts 23 hours 8 minutes, against 21 hours 59 minutes in 2026 and 25 hours 42 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 12 hours 37 minutes from sunrise to sunset at New Delhi.
The daily panchang for 7 April 2027 gives Shukla Pratipada at sunrise; the day before, Amavasya; the day after, Shukla Dwitiya. At that sunrise the yoga is Indra and the karana Kimstughna. The panchang for 7 April 2027 has the rest of the day.
When the Shukla Pratipada begins, the Moon is in Revati, ruled by Mercury.

Gudi Padwa 2027 comes 19 days later in the calendar year than Gudi Padwa 2026. Between Gudi Padwa 2026 and Gudi Padwa 2027 the lunation table has 13 new moons, one more than the usual twelve, because 2026 had Adhika Jyeshtha; thirteen lunations run longer than a solar year, so the date moves later.
In the 2027 table Gudi Padwa comes 16 days after Holi and 8 days before Ram Navami.
