How the Tamil Calendar Works

A Tamil calendar shows two systems side by side. The first is the Gregorian calendar that offices, schools and banks use. The second is the traditional calendar. Tamil Nadu follows a solar calendar. Each Tamil month starts when the Sun enters a new sign, and the year begins with Chithirai in mid-April. Years are named in a cycle of sixty. Tamil calendars also give nalla neram (good time), Rahu Kalam and Yamagandam for every day.

The traditional month can be lunar (counted by the Moon from one new moon or full moon to the next) or solar (counted by the Sun’s entry into a zodiac sign, called Sankranti). Because a lunar year is about 11 days shorter than a solar year, an extra month called Adhik Maas is added roughly every three years. This is the main reason why the English date of a festival changes from year to year.

Season-wise Festivals in the Tamil Calendar 2027

Exact dates depend on the tithi and the local sunrise, so check the day in your calendar app. The table shows when each festival usually falls:

How to Read the Daily Panchangam

The daily Panchangam has five main parts, called the Panchang or five limbs. A calendar app shows them on the page of every date:

Tithi – the lunar day. There are 30 tithis in a lunar month, 15 in the bright half (Shukla Paksha) and 15 in the dark half (Krishna Paksha).
Vaar – the weekday, from Sunday to Saturday.
Nakshatra – one of the 27 star groups through which the Moon passes.
Yoga – a value calculated from the positions of the Sun and the Moon; there are 27 yogas.
Karana – half of a tithi; there are 11 karanas.

A tithi does not always start at midnight or at sunrise. It can begin at any time of the day, so the app usually shows the time at which the tithi or nakshatra ends. For a fast or festival, families usually follow the tithi that is present at sunrise.

Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika and Abhijit Muhurat

Many people check the inauspicious periods before starting something new. Rahu Kaal is a period of about one and a half hours every day. It is found by dividing the time between sunrise and sunset into eight parts. Its approximate times for a 6:00 AM sunrise are:

Weekday	Rahu Kaal (approx., for 6:00 AM sunrise)
Monday	7:30 AM – 9:00 AM
Tuesday	3:00 PM – 4:30 PM
Wednesday	12:00 PM – 1:30 PM
Thursday	1:30 PM – 3:00 PM
Friday	10:30 AM – 12:00 PM
Saturday	9:00 AM – 10:30 AM
Sunday	4:30 PM – 6:00 PM

Yamaganda and Gulika Kaal are calculated in the same way and are also treated as periods to avoid for important beginnings. Abhijit Muhurat, around local noon, is considered an auspicious window on most days. Because sunrise changes with the season and the city, a calendar app that uses your location gives the most accurate times.

Ekadashi, Purnima, Amavasya and Sankranti

Ekadashi – the 11th tithi of each half of the month, observed as a fasting day by many families; there are usually 24 Ekadashis in a year.
Purnima – the full moon day, linked to many festivals and vrats.
Amavasya – the new moon day, important for remembering ancestors and for some festivals.
Sankranti – the day the Sun enters a new zodiac sign; Makar Sankranti in mid-January is the best known.

Using the Tamil Calendar 2027 for Planning

A calendar is most useful when you plan ahead. At the start of the year, mark birthdays, anniversaries, school exams and the festivals your family celebrates. Set reminders a few days before so that you can buy things, book tickets and apply for leave in time. If you work in an office, check which festivals are on your company or government holiday list.
