Malayalam Calendar 2027 March: Shivarathri, Tithi, Nakshatra and Festivals

Malayalam Calendar 2027 March covers the transition from Kumbham to Meenam in Kollavarsham 1202. March 2027 includes important observances such as Vijaya Ekadashi, Shivarathri, Amavasya, Eid al-Fitr, Shasti Vratam, Meenam Sankramam, Amalaki Ekadashi, Shani Pradosh Vrat, Painkuni Uthram, Good Friday and Easter.

For Kerala readers, March is also significant because Meenam Sankramam marks the Sun’s transition from Kumbham to Meenam, while Painkuni Uthram falls on March 22.

The daily calendar below gives the Malayalam date, weekday, paksha, tithi, nakshatra, sunrise and sunset. The sunrise and sunset timings are based on the supplied Kerala Panchang data for the reference location and should not be treated as identical for every place in Kerala. Panchang calculations are location-specific.

The March 15 transition to Meenam 1 and the subsequent Meenam dates are supported by the supplied daily data; the independently checked Malayalam calendar also identifies March 15 as Meenam Sankramam.

Malayalam Month: Kumbham to Meenam 1202

March begins in Kumbham 1202 and changes to Meenam 1202 on March 15.

  • March 1–14: Kumbham 17 to Kumbham 30
  • March 15: Meenam 1
  • March 16–31: Meenam 2 to Meenam 17

The change is connected with Meenam Sankramam, the solar transition into Meenam, which falls on Monday, March 15, 2027. The Malayalam calendar source independently confirms the date.

Vijaya Ekadashi 2027

Vijaya Ekadashi falls on Thursday, March 4, 2027.

It occurs during the Krishna Paksha of Kumbham. Ekadashi is traditionally observed through fasting and Vishnu worship, with the exact fasting and Parana rules depending on the local Panchang and tradition.

The supplied Panchang shows Krishna Ekadasi across March 3 and March 4, with Vijaya Ekadashi marked on March 4.

Shukra Pradosh Vrat and Jamat Ul-Vida

March 5, Friday has two important observances:

  • Shukra Pradosh Vrat
  • Jamat Ul-Vida

The Pradosh observance falls on the Friday Trayodashi period, while Jamat Ul-Vida is the final Friday of Ramadan. The March 2027 Malayalam calendar independently lists both on March 5.

Shivarathri 2027

Shivarathri is observed on Saturday, March 6, 2027.

The supplied Panchang places Shivarathri during the Krishna Paksha around Trayodashi/Chaturdashi, with March 6 specifically marked as Shivarathri.

For Kerala readers, Shivarathri is particularly relevant to temple observances and night-time worship of Lord Shiva. Individual temples may follow their own detailed schedules for rituals and darshan.

Amavasya March 2027

Amavasya falls on Monday, March 8, 2027.

The day is also marked with Anvadhan and International Women’s Day. The Panchang data shows Krishna Amavasi on March 8, followed by Shukla Pradhama on March 9.

Amavasya observances, including ancestral rituals, are traditionally performed according to family and regional customs. Specific ritual timings should be checked using the Panchang for the place where the ceremony is being performed.

Eid al-Fitr 2027

Eid al-Fitr is listed for Wednesday, March 10, 2027.

The March Malayalam calendar lists both Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr on March 10.

An independent India holiday reference also gives March 10, 2027 as the date for Ramzan Id, while noting that the date is tentative because Islamic dates can depend on moon sighting.

For a Kerala calendar page, it is better to describe Eid al-Fitr as an important religious observance and holiday rather than assign a universal prayer time, because local moon-sighting and religious authority decisions can affect observance details.

Shasti Vratam

Shasti Vratam falls on Saturday, March 13, 2027.

The date is marked in the supplied Panchang during Shukla Panchami, with the observance associated with Shasti.

Devotees who follow Shasti observance should use their local Panchang for fasting and worship timings.

Meenam Sankramam 2027

Meenam Sankramam falls on Monday, March 15, 2027.

This marks the Sun’s transition from Kumbham to Meenam and coincides with the beginning of Meenam 1 in the Malayalam calendar.

The independently checked Malayalam calendar confirms March 15 as Meenam Sankramam.

For Kerala readers, this solar transition is an important part of the Malayalam calendar and is more relevant locally than adding unrelated North Indian festival lists.

Amalaki Ekadashi 2027

Amalaki Ekadashi falls on Thursday, March 18, 2027.

The Panchang identifies March 18 as Shukla Ekadasi and specifically marks Amalaki Ekadashi.

Those observing the fast should follow the Ekadashi fasting and Parana rules applicable to their location and tradition.

Shani Pradosh Vrat

Shani Pradosh Vrat falls on Saturday, March 20, 2027.

The day is marked as Shukla Thrayodasi, making it a Saturday Pradosh observance. The supplied calendar specifically identifies Shani Pradosh Vrat on March 20.

Purnima and Painkuni Uthram

Purnima falls on Monday, March 22, 2027, and the same date is marked for Painkuni Uthram and Anvadhan.

The supplied Panchang shows Pournami on March 22 with Uthram nakshatra.

Painkuni Uthram is particularly relevant to the South Indian religious calendar and is observed in Kerala and neighbouring southern regions. For temple-specific ceremonies, timings can differ by temple and location.

Good Friday and Easter 2027

Two important Christian observances occur at the end of the month:

  • Good Friday – March 26, 2027
  • Easter – March 28, 2027

The supplied Malayalam calendar marks Good Friday on March 26 and Easter on March 28.

These dates are especially relevant for Kerala because of the state’s substantial Christian population and the importance of Holy Week observances across churches and communities.

Important: Sunrise and sunset change according to location. A Kerala calendar should not present one city’s timings as universal for all districts. For temple rituals, fasting, Sankramam, Ekadashi Parana and other time-sensitive observances, users should check the Panchang for their own city.

The daily source shows the corresponding nakshatra sequence and transition times.

Is There Any Amavasya or Purnima in March 2027?

Yes.

Amavasya: March 8, 2027
Purnima: March 22, 2027

March 8 begins the Shukla Paksha after Amavasya, while March 22 is Pournami and is also associated with Painkuni Uthram in the supplied Malayalam calendar.

Ekadashi Dates in March 2027

There are two principal Ekadashi dates in the March calendar:

  1. Vijaya Ekadashi – March 4, 2027
  2. Amalaki Ekadashi – March 18, 2027

The underlying tithi can span portions of more than one civil date, so fasting dates should be followed according to the local Panchang rather than calculated only from the calendar date.

Pradosham Dates in March 2027

March has two notable Pradosh observances:

  • Shukra Pradosh Vrat – March 5
  • Shani Pradosh Vrat – March 20

The weekday names are significant in the traditional naming of these Pradosh observances.

March 2027 Holidays and Observances in Kerala

Not every item in a religious calendar is a government public holiday. For a Kerala-focused calendar, it is better to separate festivals and religious observances from official holidays.

Important March dates include:

  • Shivarathri – March 6
  • Eid al-Fitr – March 10
  • Good Friday – March 26
  • Easter – March 28
  • Meenam Sankramam – March 15
  • Painkuni Uthram – March 22

The Government of Kerala maintains an official calendar/holiday system, and its calendar distinguishes public holidays from other calendar information.

Because official holiday notifications can be updated separately, users should check the latest Kerala Government notification when the purpose is school, office, bank or government-department closure.

Are There Any Shubh Dates in March 2027?

There is no single universal list of Shubh dates that applies to every person and every purpose.

A date considered suitable for marriage, housewarming, property registration, starting a business, travel or another ceremony can depend on:

  • Purpose of the event
  • Location
  • Tithi
  • Nakshatra
  • Weekday
  • Lagna
  • Rahu Kalam and other daily factors
  • Family or regional tradition
  • Individual horoscope requirements where applicable

For this reason, the Malayalam Calendar 2027 March page should not label a date as universally “auspicious” without specifying the purpose and location.
