Malayalam Calendar 2027 August — മലയാളം കലണ്ടർ 2027 ഓഗസ്റ്റ്

The Malayalam month is solar: Chingam opens when the Sun enters Simha in mid-August, and each month lasts as long as the Sun spends in one sidereal sign. The day it begins follows the Malabar rule and not the Tamil one — a sankranti before aparahna, the end of the third of the day's five parts, opens the month that day; one after it opens the month the next day. That is a genuine difference, not a rounding: Makara Sankranti 2026 falls at 15:07, before sunset at Chennai but after aparahna at Kochi, so Thai 1 is 14 January in Tamil Nadu and Makaram 1 is 15 January in Kerala.

Tithi and nakshatra are read at sunrise at Kochi, which is the moment that names a Vedic day. Sunrise differs across India by well over an hour, so the day a tithi names can differ between two cities — the times on this page are this city's, and are computed from the Swiss Ephemeris with the Lahiri ayanamsa, the same engine the rest of the site uses. Festival days follow each observance's own deciding moment: pradosh for Deepavali, nishita for Shivaratri, madhyahna for Ganesh Chaturthi, and sunrise for the rest.

Month names, weekday names and the section labels above are in മലയാളം. Tithi and nakshatra names are in മലയാളം, from the reviewed tables the site's other pages in this language use. Festival names appear in മലയാളം where that tradition has an established name and in English otherwise.

There is no PDF file to download: every date here is computed when the page is requested rather than exported once, so a file would start going stale the moment it was written. The month grid at the top of each month page prints on one sheet on its own — use the browser's Print and choose “Save as PDF” to keep a copy.
