Sharad Purnima 2027: Thursday, 14 October 2027

Sharad Purnima in 2027 falls on Thursday, 14 October 2027. It is kept on the Purnima of amanta Ashwina.

Why Sharad Purnima Is on 14 October in 2027

The Purnima begins at 18:49 on 14 October 2027 and ends at 19:17 on 15 October 2027. The 2027 instants are the same everywhere; only the clock they are read on changes. The rule recorded for Sharad Purnima tests the tithi at nishita, the middle of the night (“tithi at nishita kaal”).

On 14 October 2027 the Sun rises at 06:21 and sets at 17:53 at New Delhi. The Purnima is not running at sunrise on 14 October 2027; it begins at 18:49, after sunrise, and is current at the moment the rule names, which is why Sharad Purnima is kept that day rather than on the day that holds the tithi at dawn.

In 2027 the Purnima lasts 24 hours 28 minutes, against 21 hours 45 minutes in 2026 and 26 hours 20 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 32 minutes from sunrise to sunset at New Delhi. The Purnima ends at the full moon itself, 19:17 on 15 October 2027, with the Moon in Pisces and Revati.

The daily panchang for 14 October 2027 gives Shukla Chaturdashi at sunrise, not the Purnima, which is the point of the rule above; the day before, Shukla Trayodashi; the day after, Purnima. At that sunrise the yoga is Dhruva and the karana Gara. The panchang for 14 October 2027 has the rest of the day.

When the Purnima begins, the Moon is in Uttara Bhadrapada, ruled by Saturn.
