Kartika Masam 2027 – Date
Kartika Masam in 2027 falls on Saturday 30 October 2027 in the Telugu states (Hyderabad, IST).
Kartika is the holiest month for Siva worship in the Telugu states: Kartika snanam at dawn, lamps every evening, Kartika Somavaram Mondays, Nagula Chavithi, Kshirabdi Dwadasi and Kartika Pournami with the Jwala Toranam; vana bhojanam picnics under amla trees are its social side. Telugu months are amanta lunar months: each begins the day after an amavasya (new moon) and is named for the solar sign the Sun occupies at that new moon. When two new moons fall in the same sign an adhika (extra) month is inserted and the festivals are kept in the nija month that follows. The start date is the first day whose sunrise-to-sunrise span begins in the new month.
