Malayalam Calendar 2027 August is one of the most distinctive months because it contains the transition from Karkadakam 1202 to Chingam 1203 and the beginning of a new Malayalam calendar year.
The month includes Amavasya, Shasti Vratam, Shravana Putrada Ekadashi, Shani Pradosh Vrat, Independence Day, Id-e-Milad, Avani Avittam, Chingam Sankramam, Malayalam New Year, Ashtami Rohini, Aja Ekadashi and Ravi Pradosh Vrat.
According to the Malayalam Calendar 2027 August, Chingam Sankramam occurs on August 17, 2027, followed by Malayalam New Year on August 18. This makes the middle of August particularly important for anyone following traditional Malayalam dates.

Karkadakam 1202 Comes to an End
The beginning of August remains within Karkadakam 1202.
The Malayalam calendar sequence runs from Karkadakam 16 on August 1 through Karkadakam 31 on August 16.
This means August contains the final days of one Malayalam solar month before the calendar enters Chingam.
The Karkadakam portion is:
- August 1 — Karkadakam 16
- August 2 — Karkadakam 17
- August 3 — Karkadakam 18
- August 4 — Karkadakam 19
- August 5 — Karkadakam 20
- August 6 — Karkadakam 21
- August 7 — Karkadakam 22
- August 8 — Karkadakam 23
- August 9 — Karkadakam 24
- August 10 — Karkadakam 25
- August 11 — Karkadakam 26
- August 12 — Karkadakam 27
- August 13 — Karkadakam 28
- August 14 — Karkadakam 29
- August 15 — Karkadakam 30
- August 16 — Karkadakam 31
The next day marks the solar transition.
August 2: Amavasya and Solar Eclipse Listing
August 2, 2027 is listed as Amavasya and Anvadhan, with a Surya Grahan entry in the Malayalam calendar.
The daily data gives:
- Karkadakam 17
- Krishna Amavasya
- Pooyam Nakshatra
- Sunrise: 06:14
- Sunset: 18:43
The calendar marks the eclipse as “Purna”.
For eclipse-related information, visibility and the applicable Sutak or ritual rules should not be assumed to be identical everywhere. Eclipse visibility depends on geographical location, and readers should use an astronomical source and a location-specific Panchang for their city.
Shasti Vratam – August 7
Shasti Vratam is listed on Saturday, August 7.
The day falls in Karkadakam 22.
The Malayalam daily calendar gives:
- Shukla Panchami
- Uthram Nakshatra
- Sunrise: 06:14
- Sunset: 18:42
The festival list specifically identifies August 7 as Shasti Vratam.
Shravana Putrada Ekadashi – August 12
Shravana Putrada Ekadashi falls on Thursday, August 12, 2027, according to the Malayalam festival calendar.
The daily data gives:
- Karkadakam 27
- Shukla Ekadashi
- Thrikketta Nakshatra
- Sunrise: 06:15
- Sunset: 18:40
Putrada Ekadashi is traditionally associated with prayers for family welfare and children. Different regional and religious traditions can follow different fasting procedures, so the exact fasting and Parana timings should be checked separately.
Shani Pradosh Vrat – August 14
Shani Pradosh Vrat is listed on Saturday, August 14.
The day falls on Karkadakam 29 and is associated with Krishna Trayodashi in the Malayalam daily data.
| Detail | August 14, 2027 |
|---|---|
| Malayalam date | Karkadakam 29 |
| Tithi | Krishna Trayodashi |
| Nakshatra | Pooradam |
| Festival | Shani Pradosh Vrat |
| Sunrise | 06:15 |
| Sunset | 18:39 |
The exact Pradosh period should be calculated from the local sunset.
August 15: Independence Day and Id-e-Milad
August 15, 2027 combines national and religious observances in the Malayalam calendar.
The calendar lists:
- Independence Day
- Id-e-Milad
- Milad an-Nabi
The Malayalam date is Karkadakam 30.
The daily Panchang data gives Krishna Trayodashi, Uthradam Nakshatra, sunrise at 06:15 and sunset at 18:39.
These observances come from different calendar and cultural traditions and are therefore best treated separately on a Malayalam calendar page.
Avani Avittam – August 16
Avani Avittam is listed on Monday, August 16, 2027.
This is the final Karkadakam date in the Malayalam calendar:
Karkadakam 31
The daily data gives:

- Sunrise: 06:15
- Sunset: 18:38
The following day brings the solar transition into Chingam.
Chingam Sankramam – August 17
Chingam Sankramam occurs on Tuesday, August 17, 2027.
This is the key solar transition of August.
The Malayalam calendar marks August 17 with:

- Chandra Grahan
- Upachchaya
The daily grid gives:
- Chingam 1
- Shukla Purnami
- Avittam Nakshatra
- Sunrise: 06:15
- Sunset: 18:38
This date is especially important because it marks the beginning of Chingam 1203 in the Malayalam calendar.
Is August 17 the Malayalam New Year?
The Malayalam calendar distinguishes between Chingam Sankramam on August 17 and Malayalam New Year on August 18.
This distinction is important for this page.
August 17
Chingam Sankramam
The solar transition takes place and the Malayalam date becomes Chingam 1.
August 18
Malayalam New Year
The festival list identifies August 18 as Malayalam New Year and Ishti.
The daily calendar gives:
- Chingam 2
- Krishna Pradhama
- Chathayam Nakshatra
- Sunrise: 06:15
- Sunset: 18:37
Therefore, this page should not simply label August 17 as “Malayalam New Year” without explaining the distinction used by the Malayalam calendar.
Malayalam New Year – August 18
Malayalam New Year is listed on Wednesday, August 18, 2027.
This is one of the most important dates on the August page.
The Malayalam festival calendar shows:
August 18 — Malayalam New Year, Ishti
The date is in Chingam 2 according to the Malayalam calendar daily grid.
Why Chingam Matters in Kerala
Chingam has a special position in Kerala’s traditional calendar because it marks the beginning of a new Kollavarsham year.
The Malayalam calendar changes from:
Karkadakam 1202 → Chingam 1203
during August 2027.
This is different from January 1 of the Gregorian calendar. The Malayalam calendar therefore provides its own traditional year transition within the month.
Ashtami Rohini – August 24
Ashtami Rohini is listed on Tuesday, August 24, 2027.
The daily data gives:
- Chingam 8
- Krishna Sapthami
- Bharani Nakshatra
- Sunrise: 06:14
- Sunset: 18:35
The festival listing specifically identifies August 24 as Ashtami Rohini.
This is one of the important Chingam observances and is particularly familiar in Kerala’s temple and devotional calendar.
Aja Ekadashi – August 28
Aja Ekadashi falls on Saturday, August 28, 2027.
The festival calendar lists Aja Ekadashi on this date.
The daily data gives:
- Chingam 12
- Krishna Ekadashi
- Thiruvathira Nakshatra
- Sunrise: 06:14
- Sunset: 18:32
Aja Ekadashi is traditionally observed through fasting and Vishnu worship.
For fasting readers, the actual Parana time should be checked according to their local Panchang.
Ravi Pradosh Vrat – August 29

The date is:
- Chingam 13
- Krishna Dwadashi in the daily sequence

What Makes August 2027 Different?
August is particularly important because the page contains a complete Malayalam calendar-year transition.
The first half belongs to Karkadakam 1202. On August 17, the calendar records Chingam Sankramam and changes to Chingam 1203.
The following day is separately listed as Malayalam New Year.
This gives readers two useful pieces of information that should not be merged into one generic “New Year” date:
Chingam Sankramam: August 17, 2027
Malayalam New Year: August 18, 2027, according to the festival list.
The second half of the month then moves through Chingam observances, including Ashtami Rohini, Aja Ekadashi and Ravi Pradosh Vrat.
