About August 2027
August 2027 spans the lunar months of Ashadha and Shravana. It opens on Krishna Chaturdasi, with the moon in Mithuna, and closes on Amavasya. The grid above shows every day's tithi and the exact time it ends — a tithi rarely fills a calendar day, so the end time is what tells you how much of it is left.
This month the full moon falls on Tuesday, 17 August 2027, and the new moon on Monday, 2 August 2027 and Tuesday, 31 August 2027. Two of the same phase in one Gregorian month is ordinary — the lunar cycle is about twenty-nine and a half days, so it drifts against the calendar.
Festivals this month: Shravana Purnima (Raksha Bandhan) on Tuesday, 17 August 2027, Krishna Janmashtami on Wednesday, 25 August 2027. Each links to its own page with the pooja vidhanam, samagri and slokas, and to that day's full panchangam.
Days are getting shorter through the month: the daylight period runs 13h 12m on the first and 12h 37m on the last. That matters more than it sounds, because rahu kalam, yamagandam and gulika kalam are each an eighth of the daylight period — so they shift and change length along with it. The timings on each day's page are computed for the city you have selected.
