Mahalakshmi Calendar 2027 April

Marathi Months and Panchang in April 2027

The month opens during Phalgun Krishna Paksha. Papmochani Ekadashi falls on 2 April, Masik Shivratri on 5 April and Amavasya (अमावस्या) on 6 April. Chaitra begins with Shukla Pratipada on 7 April, which is also Gudi Padwa and the start of the new Marathi year. This change is the central feature of the April 2027 मराठी कॅलेंडर.

Chaitra Shukla Paksha includes Kamada Ekadashi on 17 April and reaches Purnima (पौर्णिमा) on 20 April. The Krishna Paksha then begins, followed by Sankashti Chaturthi on 24 April. Papmochani and Kamada are the month’s two Ekadashi observances, while Pradosh Vrat appears in both the waning and waxing fortnights.

Major Festivals and Vrat in April 2027

Gudi Padwa – 7 April

Gudi Padwa (गुढीपाडवा) falls on Chaitra Shukla Pratipada and marks the Marathi New Year. The date is Wednesday, 7 April, as shown in the reference calendar image. Chaitra Navratri and Ghatasthapana begin on the same day.

In many Marathi homes, the entrance is cleaned, a rangoli is drawn and a gudi is raised with customary decorations. Families may prepare shrikhand-puri, puran poli or another festive meal. Some also visit a temple or read the new Panchang.

Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Jayanti – 14 April

Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Jayanti is an important civic and social occasion across Maharashtra. Programmes commonly focus on his work for equality, education, constitutional values and social justice.

Gatherings, lectures, book displays, processions and floral tributes may be organised. Offices, banks, schools and transport services can follow holiday schedules, so check local notices before planning travel.

Ram Navami – 15 April

Ram Navami (राम नवमी) is observed on Chaitra Shukla Navami and commemorates the birth of Shri Rama. In 2027 it falls on Thursday, the day after Ambedkar Jayanti. It also brings the Chaitra Navratri period to its customary conclusion for many devotees.

Many families keep a Vrat (व्रत) or Upvas (उपवास), attend bhajan or kirtan, and offer fruit or naivedya. Temples may hold readings, cradle ceremonies or community worship. Practices differ, so families follow their custom and local temple programme.

Kamada Ekadashi – 17 April

Kamada Ekadashi is the Ekadashi of Chaitra Shukla Paksha and falls on Saturday, 17 April. It is an important Vishnu-related fasting day soon after Ram Navami. This date is listed in the reference calendar shown on this page.

Devotees may keep a full or partial fast, perform simple worship, read devotional texts or visit a Vishnu temple. Food rules vary by household. Check Parana and other time-sensitive details in the printed calendar for your city.

Hanuman Jayanti – 20 April

The local calendar marks Hanuman Janmotsav Upvas on Monday, 19 April and Hanuman Janmotsav on Chaitra Purnima, Tuesday, 20 April. The fasting entry and the Janmotsav entry are shown separately; readers should follow the observance used by their family or temple.

Devotees may visit a Maruti temple, offer flowers or naivedya, and join recitation or kirtan. Temples can be crowded, so families should check local arrangements and remember that schedules differ.

Sankashti Chaturthi – 24 April

Sankashti Chaturthi (संकष्टी चतुर्थी) falls on Chaitra Krishna Chaturthi, Saturday, 24 April. This monthly Ganesh observance is especially familiar in Maharashtra. Many devotees fast during the day and complete their observance after the customary evening worship and moon sighting.

Because Chandrodaya differs by location, one fixed time will not suit every reader. Keep puja items and food ready, then use the local calendar entry before completing the Vrat.

Festival Preparation and Practical Tips for April 2027

April in Maharashtra is usually warm, and this month’s major dates sit close together in the middle of the month. Early shopping, careful food storage and checking holiday schedules can make home celebrations more comfortable.

Puja and home preparation:

• Clean the doorway and gather rangoli colours, fresh flowers, a bright cloth and customary gudi materials before 7 April.
• Keep lamps, incense, cotton wicks, fruit and regular puja supplies ready for Ram Navami, Hanuman Jayanti and Sankashti.
• Confirm temple programmes and locally followed puja details instead of relying on a timing meant for another city.

Food and upvas planning:

• Plan Gudi Padwa dishes such as shrikhand-puri or puran poli according to family custom, and buy perishable ingredients close to the day.
• Choose familiar Upvas foods for Ekadashi, Ram Navami or Sankashti, and keep drinking water available during hot weather.
• Refrigerate milk-based prasad promptly and avoid leaving cooked food uncovered in the afternoon heat.

Travel and holiday planning:

• Expected Maharashtra holidays include Gudi Padwa, Ambedkar Jayanti, Ram Navami and Mahavir Janma Kalyanak, but the 2027 list is still marked as expected until the state issues its notification.
• Allow extra travel time near large processions, public gatherings and popular temples, especially around 7, 14, 15 and 20 April.
• Check school, bank, workplace and local transport notices because their closures may not be identical.
