Vaishakha Masam 2027 – Date

Vaishakha Masam in 2027 falls on Friday 7 May 2027 in the Telugu states (Hyderabad, IST).

Vaishakha is the month of Akshaya Tritiya, Sankara Jayanti, Nrusimha Jayanti and Buddha Pournami, and of the Telugu Hanuman Jayanti in its dark half; daily snanam and dana are prescribed for the whole month. 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.

Tithi timing

Sukla Padyami begins 6 May 2027 at 4:28 PM IST and ends 7 May 2027 at 2:14 PM IST.

How the date is decided

First Hindu day of each amanta masa (sukla padyami at sunrise; kshaya -> day the padyami begins).

Date by city

Different date in: Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay Area, Chicago, Dallas, New York, Atlanta — the tithi is judged against each city's own sunrise and local time (daylight saving included), so the day can shift for cities west of India.
