Hanuman Jayanti 2027: Tuesday, 20 April 2027
Shukla Purnima · amanta Chaitra · computed for New Delhi
Hanuman Jayanti in 2027 falls on Tuesday, 20 April 2027. It is kept on the Purnima of amanta Chaitra.
Why Hanuman Jayanti Is on 20 April in 2027
The Purnima begins at 04:51 on 20 April 2027 and ends at 03:57 on 21 April 2027. The 2027 instants are the same everywhere; only the clock they are read on changes. The rule recorded for Hanuman Jayanti tests the tithi at sunrise, the default test for most of the calendar.
On 20 April 2027 the Sun rises at 05:51 and sets at 18:49 at New Delhi. The Purnima is running at that sunrise, which is the test, so 20 April 2027 is the day.
In 2027 the Purnima lasts 23 hours 6 minutes, against 24 hours 35 minutes in 2026 and 20 hours 45 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 58 minutes from sunrise to sunset at New Delhi. The Purnima ends at the full moon itself, 03:57 on 21 April 2027, with the Moon in Libra and Chitra.
The daily panchang for 20 April 2027 gives Purnima at sunrise; the day before, Shukla Trayodashi; the day after, Krishna Pratipada. At that sunrise the yoga is Harshana and the karana Vishti. The panchang for 20 April 2027 has the rest of the day.
When the Purnima begins, the Moon is in Chitra, ruled by Mars.
