Maha Navami 2027: Saturday, 9 October 2027
Shukla Navami · amanta Ashwina · computed for New Delhi
Maha Navami in 2027 falls on Saturday, 9 October 2027. It is kept on the Shukla Navami of amanta Ashwina.
Why Maha Navami Is on 9 October in 2027
The Shukla Navami begins at 06:28 on 8 October 2027 and ends at 09:02 on 9 October 2027. The 2027 instants are the same everywhere; only the clock they are read on changes. The rule recorded for Maha Navami tests the tithi at sunrise, the default test for most of the calendar.
On 9 October 2027 the Sun rises at 06:18 and sets at 17:58 at New Delhi. The Shukla Navami is running at that sunrise, which is the test, so 9 October 2027 is the day.
In 2027 the Shukla Navami lasts 26 hours 34 minutes, against 25 hours 58 minutes in 2026 and 25 hours 11 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 40 minutes from sunrise to sunset at New Delhi.
The daily panchang for 9 October 2027 gives Shukla Navami at sunrise; the day before, Shukla Ashtami; the day after, Shukla Dashami. At that sunrise the yoga is Sukarma and the karana Kaulava. The panchang for 9 October 2027 has the rest of the day.
When the Shukla Navami begins, the Moon is in Purva Ashadha, ruled by Venus. By sunrise on 9 October 2027 the daily table has it in Uttara Ashadha.
