Malayalam Calendar 2027 January With Tithi
Tithi is one of the most useful parts of a Hindu calendar because many religious observances are determined by the lunar day. January 2027 begins in Krishna Paksha, reaches Amavasya on January 7, continues through Shukla Paksha, reaches Purnima on January 22, and then enters Krishna Paksha again.
The important tithi dates are:
- January 3 – Krishna Ekadashi
- January 4 – Krishna Dwadashi
- January 5 – Krishna Trayodashi
- January 6 – Krishna Chaturdashi
- January 7 – Amavasya
- January 8 – Shukla Pratipada
- January 12 – Shukla Chaturthi
- January 19 – Shukla Ekadashi
- January 20 – Shukla Trayodashi
- January 21 – Shukla Chaturdashi
- January 22 – Purnima
- January 23 – Krishna Pratipada
- January 25 – Krishna Tritiya
- January 26 – Krishna Panchami
- January 31 – Krishna Dashami
Tithi boundaries do not necessarily coincide with midnight. Therefore, a calendar date should not be interpreted as meaning that the same tithi lasts from 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM.

Malayalam Calendar 2027 January Ekadashi Dates
There are two important Ekadashi dates in January 2027.
Saphala Ekadashi – January 3, 2027
Saphala Ekadashi falls on Sunday, January 3, 2027. It is the Krishna Paksha Ekadashi of the lunar cycle.
Devotees who observe Ekadashi fasting generally follow their family or sampradaya tradition for fasting rules, Parana timing and permitted foods.
Pausha Putrada Ekadashi – January 19, 2027
Pausha Putrada Ekadashi falls on Tuesday, January 19, 2027. It is the Shukla Paksha Ekadashi in January.
Ekadashi dates are particularly useful to include in a Malayalam calendar because many people use the calendar specifically to plan fasting and temple observances. January 2027 has Ekadashi dates on January 3 and January 19.
Malayalam Calendar 2027 January Dwadashi Dates
Dwadashi follows Ekadashi and is also important for people observing Ekadashi fasting.
The January 2027 calendar includes:
- January 4 – Krishna Dwadashi
- January 20 – the day following Shukla Ekadashi observance sequence
The exact Parana timing should be checked according to the location and the applicable Panchang tradition rather than using a generic nationwide time.
Amavasya in January 2027
Amavasya falls on Thursday, January 7, 2027.
January 7 is the Amavasya date in the January 2027 Malayalam calendar. Amavasya is traditionally associated with prayers, remembrance of ancestors and other religious observances.
The nakshatra listed for January 7 is Purva Ashadha, with sunrise around 6:38 AM and sunset around 6:17 PM in Thiruvananthapuram.
For rituals where the exact Amavasya ending time matters, readers should use the detailed local Panchang rather than relying only on the calendar date.
Purnima in January 2027
Purnima falls on Friday, January 22, 2027.
January 22 is listed as Purnima and is also associated with Thai Pooyam in the Malayalam calendar. The nakshatra for the sunrise-based daily entry is Punarvasu.
For Thiruvananthapuram, sunrise is around 6:42 AM and sunset around 6:25 PM on January 22.
Pradosham Dates in January 2027
Pradosham is observed around the Trayodashi tithi. January 2027 contains two important Pradosham observances:
| Date | Observance |
|---|---|
| January 5, 2027 | Krishna Paksha Pradosham |
| January 20, 2027 | Shukla Paksha Pradosham |
The January calendar sources identify January 5 as Krishna Pradosh Vrat and January 20 as Shukla Pradosh Vrat.
Because Pradosham is connected with the evening period around sunset, the exact observance window should be calculated for the user’s city.
Important Festivals and Observances in January 2027
January contains several notable dates relevant to Kerala and the Malayalam calendar.
| Date | Festival or Observance |
|---|---|
| January 3 | Saphala Ekadashi |
| January 5 | Pradosham and Masik Shivaratri observance |
| January 7 | Amavasya |
| January 15 | Makaram Sankramam |
| January 15 | Pongal |
| January 15 | Makaravilakku |
| January 19 | Pausha Putrada Ekadashi |
| January 20 | Pradosham |
| January 22 | Purnima |
| January 22 | Thai Pooyam |
| January 26 | Republic Day |
These dates are supported by January 2027 Malayalam calendar/Panchang sources.
Makaram Sankramam and Makaravilakku
January 15 is an important date in the January 2027 calendar, with Makaram Sankramam and Makaravilakku listed for the day. Pongal is also associated with January 15 in the calendar sources.
The Malayalam calendar transition around Makaram is especially relevant for Kerala because the Malayalam calendar follows a solar-month system. The exact interpretation of the month transition should follow the Kerala calendar convention being used on the site.
Thai Pooyam in January 2027
Thai Pooyam falls on January 22, 2027, coinciding with Purnima in the January calendar.
Thai Pooyam is associated with the Tamil solar month Thai and the Poosam/Pushya nakshatra tradition. It is observed at temples and by devotees in different regions, with local temple customs determining the detailed schedule. The January 2027 Malayalam festival listings also place Thai Pooyam on January 22.
January 2027 Holidays and Public Observances
Not every important date in a religious calendar is an official public holiday.
For January 2027, Republic Day on January 26 is the major national public holiday listed in this calendar. Other dates such as Ekadashi, Amavasya, Purnima, Pradosham and Makaravilakku are religious or cultural observances and should not automatically be described as government holidays.
This distinction is important when searching for Malayalam Calendar 2027 with holidays because a calendar may contain many festivals while the official Kerala government holiday list contains a separate set of public and restricted holidays.
Shubh Dates in January 2027
People searching for Malayalam Calendar 2027 January shubh dates are often looking for dates suitable for weddings, housewarming, property purchases, starting a business or other important activities.
However, there is no single universal list of “best” dates for every purpose. Traditional Muhurat selection can depend on:
- The purpose of the event
- Tithi
- Nakshatra
- Weekday
- Yoga
- Karana
- Sunrise and sunset
- Location
- Personal birth details for some ceremonies
- The specific regional or family tradition
Therefore, the January calendar can be used to identify the relevant tithi and nakshatra, while an actual Muhurat should be checked separately for the specific activity.
Dates commonly useful for checking Muhurat
Some dates in January 2027 may be investigated further when selecting a traditional Muhurat, but they should not automatically be labelled universally auspicious:
- January 8
- January 9
- January 10
- January 12
- January 13
- January 14
- January 15
- January 16
- January 17
- January 18
- January 23
- January 24
- January 25
- January 26
- January 27
- January 28
- January 29
- January 30
- January 31
For an actual wedding, housewarming or property-purchase Muhurat, use a dedicated location-specific Muhurat calculation rather than relying only on this monthly calendar.
Sunrise and Sunset in January 2027
Sunrise and sunset gradually change during January.
In Thiruvananthapuram:
- January 1 sunrise: approximately 6:36 AM
- January 1 sunset: approximately 6:14 PM
- January 15 sunrise: approximately 6:41 AM
- January 15 sunset: approximately 6:21 PM
- January 22 sunrise: approximately 6:42 AM
- January 22 sunset: approximately 6:25 PM
- January 31 sunrise: approximately 6:42 AM
- January 31 sunset: approximately 6:28 PM
These times are local to Thiruvananthapuram and are provided in Indian Standard Time. The complete daily Panchang source confirms the gradual movement across all 31 days.
Why Location Matters in a Malayalam Calendar
A common mistake with online calendars is to copy sunrise, sunset and Muhurat timings from another city.
For example, January 2027 sunrise and sunset in Thiruvananthapuram are substantially different from locations such as Patna or Delhi. The tithi and nakshatra sequence may remain based on the same astronomical calculations, but time-sensitive observances require local calculations.
This is particularly important for:
- Ekadashi Parana
- Pradosham
- Amavasya rituals
- Purnima observances
- Sankramam
- Rahu Kalam
- Abhijit Muhurat
- Other Muhurat calculations
For this reason, the timings in this article should be understood as Thiruvananthapuram reference timings, not as universal timings for all of Kerala.
