Karva Chauth 2027: Tuesday, 19 October 2027

Karva Chauth in 2027 falls on Tuesday, 19 October 2027. It is kept on the Krishna Chaturthi of amanta Ashwina — the same fortnight that purnimanta calendars, the usual reckoning in north India, name after Kartika.

Why Karva Chauth Is on 19 October in 2027

The Krishna Chaturthi begins at 17:52 on 18 October 2027 and ends at 16:42 on 19 October 2027. The 2027 instants are the same everywhere; only the clock they are read on changes. The rule recorded for Karva Chauth tests the tithi at sunrise, the default test for most of the calendar.

On 19 October 2027 the Sun rises at 06:24 and sets at 17:47 at New Delhi. The Krishna Chaturthi is running at that sunrise, which is the test, so 19 October 2027 is the day.

In 2027 the Krishna Chaturthi lasts 22 hours 50 minutes, against 21 hours 3 minutes in 2026 and 25 hours 16 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 23 minutes from sunrise to sunset at New Delhi.

The daily panchang for 19 October 2027 gives Krishna Chaturthi at sunrise; the day before, Krishna Tritiya; the day after, Krishna Panchami. At that sunrise the yoga is Vyatipata and the karana Balava. The panchang for 19 October 2027 has the rest of the day.

When the Krishna Chaturthi begins, the Moon is in Krittika, ruled by the Sun. By sunrise on 19 October 2027 the daily table has it in Rohini.

Karva Chauth in 2026, 2027 and 2028

Karva Chauth 2027 comes 10 days earlier in the calendar year than Karva Chauth 2026. Between Karva Chauth 2026 and Karva Chauth 2027 the lunation table has 12 new moons, and twelve lunations fall short of a solar year, so the date moves earlier.

Moonrise on 19 October 2027, by City

Moonrise from the generated 2027 table for each city, in IST. It moves with longitude and latitude, so a town between two of these cities falls between their times.

In the 2027 table Karva Chauth comes 5 days after Sharad Purnima and 8 days before Dhanteras.

Within six days of Karva Chauth in 2027: Sharad Purnima (14 October).
