Hindu Calendar Festivals, Vrat, Important Date in January 2027

I’ll organize all the information from the January 2027 Hindu Calendar Festivals, Vrat, Important Date text into a comprehensive day-by-day table format:

These dates follow the Tithi present at sunrise, known as Udaya Tithi. A festival can therefore shift by a day depending on the place and the sampradaya followed.

Major January 2027 Festivals Explained

Saphala Ekadashi – 3 January

The year’s first vrat arrives early, on Sunday, 3 January. Saphala Ekadashi belongs to Pausha Krishna Paksha, which Amanta regions count as Margashirsha Krishna Paksha.

“Saphala” means fruitful, and many people traditionally keep this vrat with a prayer that the work they have in hand goes well. Lord Vishnu is offered seasonal fruit, and a diya is lit near the tulsi plant in the evening.

One date is shown for all traditions. For the Parana time on the following morning, check a local Panchang.

Lohri – 13 January

Bonfires are lit on the evening of Wednesday, 13 January, the night before Makar Sankranti. Lohri is mainly a festival of the north-west, tied to the winter harvest.

People gather around the fire and offer rewri, peanuts, popcorn and til to it, then share the same with everyone present. Homes with a new bride or a newborn traditionally celebrate it with extra warmth.

Makar Sankranti – 14 January

The Sun’s entry into Makar is observed on Thursday, 14 January. This is a solar festival, so its date stays nearly fixed every year, unlike Tithi-based festivals.

A morning bath, arghya to the Sun and daan of til, jaggery, khichdi and warm clothes are the common customs. Til-gud laddoos are made in most homes, kites fill the sky in western regions, and khichdi is the dish of the day in the north.

Kharmas also ends with this Sankranti, and wedding Muhurats return from the next day. For the Sankranti moment and punya kaal, check a local Panchang.

Pongal – 15 January

Southern homes celebrate the harvest on Friday, 15 January. The festival takes its name from the dish itself: new rice boiled with milk and jaggery until it rises and spills over the pot.

That overflow is welcomed as a sign of plenty. Doorsteps are decorated with kolam, sugarcane is tied at the entrance and the first serving is offered to the Sun. Guru Gobind Singh Ji Jayanti is also listed on this date.

Putrada Ekadashi – 19 January

Pausha Shukla Ekadashi falls on Tuesday, 19 January. The Tithi is short this time, ending soon after sunrise, with Dwadashi taking over for the rest of the day.

Traditionally, this vrat is kept with prayers for the well-being of children. A single date is given for all traditions. For the Parana time, check a local Panchang, since the Dwadashi is also short.

Paush Purnima – 22 January

The full moon of Pausha is on Friday, 22 January. Its main importance is that the month-long Magh Snan begins from this morning.

Devotees who take up the Magh vow bathe before sunrise every day for the coming month, at a river if possible and otherwise at home. Shakambhari Jayanti falls on this Purnima too, honouring the Goddess traditionally linked with vegetables and nourishment.

Magha begins the next day in the Purnimanta system.

Sakat Chauth – 25 January

Magha Krishna Chaturthi is Sakat Chauth, on Monday, 25 January. Tritiya ends in the morning and Chaturthi then runs through the night, so the moonrise falls within Chaturthi.

Mothers traditionally keep this fast for their children and open it only after seeing the moon. The Panchang lists moonrise at 9:21. Winter fog can hide the moon in many places, so confirm the time for your city in a local Panchang.

Tilkut, made by pounding roasted til with jaggery, is the special offering to Lord Ganesha on this day.

Vrat Rules, Food and Precautions for January 2027

Vrat customs are passed down within each home and sampradaya, so they naturally differ. The observances in the जनवरी हिंदू कैलेंडर 2027 fall in the coldest part of the year, and warm, energy-giving foods like til and jaggery run through almost all of them.

Commonly chosen vrat foods:

• Til laddoos, tilkut, gajak and jaggery
• Seasonal fruit such as guava, oranges, ber and banana
• Warm milk, makhana and dry fruits
• Sabudana khichdi, kuttu or singhara atta, sweet potato
• Sendha namak in place of ordinary salt
• Warm water, ginger tea or tulsi kadha through the day

Foods traditionally avoided:

• Rice, wheat and other grains on Ekadashi
• Pulses and beans on Ekadashi
• Onion and garlic on vrat days
• Ordinary salt on a phalahar vrat
• Food and water until moonrise on Sakat Chauth, for those keeping it strictly

Practical precautions:

• Children, pregnant women, older adults and people with health conditions may keep a lighter vrat, take water or milk, or consult their doctor first.
• Avoid a cold-water bath before dawn if there is a cough, fever or heart trouble.
• Dress in layers for early temple visits and river baths.
• Keep children and loose shawls well away from the Lohri bonfire.
• Use plain cotton thread for kites and watch out for birds and two-wheeler riders.
• Never keep an angithi or coal fire burning in a closed room.
• Place puja flowers and leftover til in soil or a compost pit.
