Ashtami 2027 – all dates (Shukla and Bahula)
Ashtami is the 8th tithi of each paksha, so it comes twice a lunar month: Shukla or Suddha Ashtami after the new moon and Bahula or Krishna Ashtami after the full moon. Below is every Ashtami of 2027 with its masam, the tithi start and end in IST and the day it is kept: the Telugu calendar gives a day the tithi that is present at sunrise, so when a tithi covers two sunrises (vriddhi) both dates are shown, and when it begins and ends between two sunrises (kshaya) it has no day of its own. In 2027 (Hyderabad) 1 of them cover two sunrises and 0 are kshaya. The tithi lasts from 21.9 to 26.7 hours this year. Ashtami is a Jaya tithi. Festivals fixed on it: Sri Krishna Janmashtami (Shravana Bahula Ashtami), Durgashtami (Ashwayuja Shukla Ashtami). In New York 8 of the dates fall a day earlier than in India because sunrise there comes 9.5-10.5 hours later. Times are computed with the NASA/JPL DE440s ephemeris and the Lahiri ayanamsa, the same engine as the daily panchangam pages.
