Medam to Edavam: The Main Calendar Change in May
One of the most important calendar changes during May is the transition from Medam to Edavam.
The month begins with Medam 17 on May 1. Medam continues through May 14. On May 15, the Malayalam date becomes Edavam 1, coinciding with Itavam Sankramam.
This makes May particularly useful for readers who follow the Malayalam solar calendar rather than only the Gregorian date.
Medam dates in May 2027
- May 1 — Medam 17
- May 2 — Medam 18
- May 3 — Medam 19
- May 4 — Medam 20
- May 5 — Medam 21
- May 6 — Medam 22
- May 7 — Medam 23
- May 8 — Medam 24
- May 9 — Medam 25
- May 10 — Medam 26
- May 11 — Medam 27
- May 12 — Medam 28
- May 13 — Medam 29
- May 14 — Medam 30
Edavam begins
May 15, 2027 — Edavam 1
From May 15 onward, the calendar continues through Edavam 17 on May 31.
Varuthini Ekadashi 2027
Varuthini Ekadashi falls on Sunday, May 2, 2027.
It occurs during the Krishna Paksha of Medam. Ekadashi is the 11th lunar day and is traditionally observed with fasting, prayer and devotion to Lord Vishnu.
The Panchang sequence for May 2 shows:
| Detail | May 2, 2027 |
|---|---|
| Malayalam date | Medam 18 |
| Paksha | Krishna Paksha |
| Tithi | Ekadashi |
| Nakshatra | Pooruruttathi |
| Festival | Varuthini Ekadashi |
| Other observance | World Laughter Day |
Those observing the vrat should follow the fasting and Parana timings applicable to their location rather than relying on a single India-wide time.
Bhauma Pradosh Vrat – May 4
Bhauma Pradosh Vrat is observed on Tuesday, May 4, 2027.
The day falls on Krishna Trayodashi and is associated with Pradosh observance dedicated to Lord Shiva.
Because Pradosh worship is linked to the evening twilight period, the actual Pradosh Kaal depends on the local sunset time. The May calendar gives a reference sunset of 18:32 for this date.
Amavasya and the Beginning of Shukla Paksha
May 6, 2027 is listed as Amavasya, followed by the beginning of Shukla Paksha on May 7.
May 6:
- Malayalam date: Medam 22
- Tithi: Krishna Amavasya
- Nakshatra: Bharani
- Observances: Amavasya and Anvadhan
- Sunrise: 06:05
- Sunset: 18:33
The following day, May 7, begins Shukla Pradhama, marking the new waxing lunar cycle.
Parashurama Jayanthi – May 8
Parashurama Jayanthi is observed on Saturday, May 8, 2027.
The date falls on:
- Medam 24
- Shukla Dwitheeya
- Rohini Nakshatra
Parashurama is traditionally regarded as the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. The day is observed through prayers, temple worship and remembrance of the traditions associated with Parashurama.
Akshaya Tritiya 2027
Akshaya Tritiya falls on Sunday, May 9, 2027.
The calendar places it on Medam 25, during Shukla Tritheeya, with Makayiram Nakshatra.
Akshaya Tritiya is widely associated with the idea of an auspicious and enduring beginning. In different communities, people mark the day through religious observances, charity, worship and the beginning of selected activities.
The same date is also Mother’s Day in 2027.
Akshaya Tritiya details
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Date | May 9, 2027 |
| Malayalam date | Medam 25 |
| Paksha | Shukla Paksha |
| Tithi | Tritheeya |
| Nakshatra | Makayiram |
| Sunrise | 06:04 |
| Sunset | 18:33 |
The exact timing considered suitable for a particular activity can depend on the local Panchang and the purpose of the ritual or ceremony.
Shree Shankara Jayanthi – May 10
Shree Shankara Jayanthi is listed on Monday, May 10, 2027.
The day falls on Medam 26, Shukla Chaturthi, with Thiruvathira Nakshatra.
The observance is associated with Adi Shankaracharya, one of the most influential philosophers and teachers in the Indian philosophical tradition.
For Kerala readers, the date has particular cultural relevance because Kerala has a strong historical connection with traditions associated with Shankaracharya.
Shasti Vratam – May 11
Shasti Vratam falls on Tuesday, May 11, 2027.
The calendar places Shasti on:
- Medam 27
- Shukla Shashti
- Punartham Nakshatra
- Sunrise: 06:04
- Sunset: 18:33
Shasti observances are commonly associated with Lord Murugan or Subrahmanya, although the precise customs followed can differ among families and temples.
Itavam Sankramam 2027
Itavam Sankramam occurs on Saturday, May 15, 2027.
This is the major solar-calendar transition within the month.
May 15 is:
- Edavam 1
- Shukla Dasami
- Pooram Nakshatra
- Itavam Sankramam
- Sunrise: 06:03
- Sunset: 18:34
The transition from Medam to Edavam is especially important when reading a traditional Malayalam solar calendar because the Malayalam month changes on this Sankramam rather than on the first day of the Gregorian month.
Mohini Ekadashi 2027
Mohini Ekadashi falls on Sunday, May 16, 2027.
It is the Shukla Paksha Ekadashi of Edavam.
| Detail | May 16, 2027 |
|---|---|
| Malayalam date | Edavam 2 |
| Paksha | Shukla Paksha |
| Tithi | Ekadashi |
| Nakshatra | Uthram |
| Festival | Mohini Ekadashi |
| Sunrise | 06:03 |
| Sunset | 18:34 |
Those observing an Ekadashi fast should check the local Parana time separately because fasting-break timings can vary by location.
Eid al-Adha and Soma Pradosh Vrat – May 17
May 17, 2027 is a notable date because the supplied calendar lists multiple observances on the same day:
- Eid al-Adha
- Bakrid
- Soma Pradosh Vrat
The Malayalam calendar date is Edavam 3, with Shukla Dwadashi and Atham Nakshatra.
Narasimha Jayanthi – May 18
Narasimha Jayanthi is listed on Tuesday, May 18, 2027.
The date is:
- Edavam 4
- Shukla Trayodashi
- Chithira Nakshatra
- Sunrise: 06:03
- Sunset: 18:34
Narasimha Jayanthi commemorates Lord Narasimha, the man-lion incarnation of Lord Vishnu.
For worshippers observing the festival, the relevant puja timing should be checked using a location-specific Panchang because the observance is connected with a particular period of the day.
Kurmavathara Dinam – May 19
Kurmavathara Dinam is listed on Wednesday, May 19, 2027.
The date falls on Edavam 5, Shukla Chaturdashi, with Chothi Nakshatra.
Kurmavathara refers to the tortoise incarnation of Lord Vishnu and is connected with the traditional account of the churning of the cosmic ocean.
Purnima and Anvadhan – May 20
May 20, 2027 is Purnima in the supplied calendar.
It falls on:
- Edavam 6
- Shukla Purnima
- Vishakham Nakshatra
- Purnima
- Anvadhan
- Sunrise: 06:03
- Sunset: 18:35
This completes the Shukla Paksha sequence before Krishna Paksha begins on May 21.
May 2027 Ekadashi Dates
There are two important Ekadashi dates in the supplied May calendar:
| Ekadashi | Date | Malayalam Date | Paksha |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varuthini Ekadashi | May 2 | Medam 18 | Krishna Paksha |
| Mohini Ekadashi | May 16 | Edavam 2 | Shukla Paksha |
For fasting, the date alone is not enough. Parana and local sunrise-based calculations should be checked for the devotee’s location.
May 2027 Pradosh Dates
The calendar lists two Pradosh observances:
| Pradosh | Date | Weekday | Tithi |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bhauma Pradosh Vrat | May 4 | Tuesday | Krishna Trayodashi |
| Soma Pradosh Vrat | May 17 | Monday | Shukla Dwadashi |
The May 17 listing is particularly notable because Soma Pradosh Vrat and Eid al-Adha/Bakrid are shown on the same date.
May 2027 Amavasya and Purnima

| Date | Sunrise | Sunset |
|---|---|---|
| May 1 | 06:06 | 18:32 |
| May 5 | 06:05 | 18:32 |
| May 10 | 06:04 | 18:33 |
| May 15 | 06:03 | 18:34 |

| May 25 | 06:02 | 18:36 |
| May 31 | 06:02 | 18:37 |
Sunrise, sunset, Nakshatra and Tithi transition times are location-sensitive. The complete daily table above should therefore be treated as the calendar reference for the location/data source used, rather than as a universal timing table for every part of Kerala.
Is 2027 May 15 the Start of Edavam?
Yes. In the supplied May 2027 calendar, May 15 is Edavam 1 and is marked by Itavam Sankramam.
The first fourteen days of May are in Medam, beginning with Medam 17 on May 1. The solar month changes on May 15.
This is different from a Gregorian calendar month, where May always begins on May 1 regardless of the Malayalam solar month.
Are There Any Shubh Dates in May 2027?
There is no single universal list of auspicious dates that applies to every person, ceremony and location.
For activities such as marriage, housewarming, property registration or starting a business, the Muhurat can depend on the purpose, location, Nakshatra, Tithi, weekday and individual horoscope traditions.
The dates on this page should therefore not be interpreted as a universal “good date” ranking.
