Mokshada Ekadashi & Geeta Jayanti 2027: Thursday, 9 December 2027
Shukla Ekadashi · amanta Margashirsha · computed for New Delhi
Mokshada Ekadashi & Geeta Jayanti in 2027 falls on Thursday, 9 December 2027. It is kept on the Shukla Ekadashi of amanta Margashirsha.
Why Mokshada Ekadashi Is on 9 December in 2027
The Shukla Ekadashi begins at 02:59 on 9 December 2027 and ends at 03:20 on 10 December 2027. The 2027 instants are the same everywhere; only the clock they are read on changes. The rule recorded for Mokshada Ekadashi tests the tithi at sunrise, the default test for most of the calendar.
On 9 December 2027 the Sun rises at 07:01 and sets at 17:24 at New Delhi. The Shukla Ekadashi is running at that sunrise, which is the test, so 9 December 2027 is the day.
In 2027 the Shukla Ekadashi lasts 24 hours 21 minutes, against 22 hours 6 minutes in 2026 and 26 hours 19 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 10 hours 23 minutes from sunrise to sunset at New Delhi.
The daily panchang for 9 December 2027 gives Shukla Ekadashi at sunrise; the day before, Shukla Dashami; the day after, Shukla Dwadashi. At that sunrise the yoga is Variyan and the karana Vanija. The panchang for 9 December 2027 has the rest of the day.
When the Shukla Ekadashi begins, the Moon is in Revati, ruled by Mercury.
