Hindu Calendar Festivals, Vrat, Important Date in March 2027

I’ll organize all the information from the March 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 March 2027 Festivals Explained

Vijaya Ekadashi – 4 March

Vijaya Ekadashi, the Ekadashi of Phalguna Krishna Paksha, is listed on Thursday, 4 March. Amanta regions count it under Magha Krishna Paksha.

This time the Ekadashi Tithi is long. It covers the whole of the previous day and is still present at sunrise on Thursday, and the vrat is placed on the second day. If the tradition followed at home differs, check a local Panchang.

According to tradition, Lord Ram kept this vrat before crossing the sea, which is where the name “Vijaya” comes from. Vishnu puja and a grain-free day are the usual practice.

Mahashivratri – 6 March

The biggest night of Shiva worship falls on Saturday, 6 March. Trayodashi of Phalguna Krishna Paksha ends around midday and Chaturdashi is present through the night, which is what decides Mahashivratri.

Devotees fast through the day and offer water, milk and bel patra on the Shivling. Many stay awake at night, with puja repeated in each of the four prahars. For the night puja timings in your city, check a local Panchang.

Winter is on its way out by now, and ber, the season’s fruit, is a traditional offering. Thandai and fruit are common for those keeping the vrat.

Somvati Amavasya – 8 March

Phalguna Amavasya lands on a Monday this year, 8 March, so it is observed as Somvati Amavasya. A new moon on a Monday does not come often, which is why people look out for it.

Married women traditionally walk around a peepal tree and tie a thread on it. A bath in a river, tarpan for ancestors and daan are the other customs of the day.

Amalaki Ekadashi – 18 March

Phalguna Shukla Ekadashi is on Thursday, 18 March, just a few days before Holi. Its name comes from the amla tree, which is worshipped on this day along with Lord Vishnu.

In some temple towns it is also called Rangbhari Ekadashi, and the first colours of Holi are offered to the deity. Holashtak, the eight days before Holi when new beginnings are traditionally avoided, is already running by then.

Holika Dahan – 21 March

The bonfire night is Sunday, 21 March. Chaturdashi ends that evening and Purnima of Phalguna begins, so the fire is lit the same night, and Holashtak ends with it.

People gather around a pile of wood and cow-dung cakes, offer new wheat ears and gram to the fire, and walk around it. The story remembered is that of Prahlad and Holika. For the Holika Dahan Muhurat and Bhadra timings, check a local Panchang.

Holi – 22 March

Colours are played on Monday, 22 March, the day of Phalguna Purnima. The Panchang calls it Dulhandi, and the Purnima Vrat and snan-daan fall on the same day.

Mornings are for gulal and water, afternoons for gujiya, dahi vada and visiting neighbours. Chaitra begins the next day in the Purnimanta system. Where the custom is followed, colours come out once more on Rang Panchami, Saturday, 27 March.

Sheetala Ashtami (Basoda) – 30 March

Eight days after Holi comes Basoda, on Tuesday, 30 March. It is the Ashtami of Chaitra Krishna Paksha, which Amanta regions call Phalguna Krishna Paksha.

Mata Sheetala is worshipped, and the chulha is traditionally not lit that day. Food is cooked the previous evening, on Sheetala Saptami, and eaten cold. Some communities keep the main puja on Saptami itself, according to regional custom.

Vrat Rules, Food and Precautions for March 2027

Rules for fasting are a matter of home tradition and sampradaya, so no single list fits everyone. The vrats in the मार्च हिंदू कैलेंडर 2027 come as winter gives way to spring, with cool mornings and warm afternoons.

Commonly chosen vrat foods:

• Fruit such as ber, banana, grapes and oranges
• Milk, curd, thandai and makhana
• Sabudana khichdi, kuttu or singhara atta, sweet potato
• Sendha namak in place of ordinary salt
• Amla in any form on Amalaki Ekadashi
• Lemon water or coconut water on warmer days

Foods traditionally avoided:

• Rice, wheat and other grains on Ekadashi and Mahashivratri
• Pulses and beans on Ekadashi
• Onion and garlic on vrat days
• Ordinary salt on a phalahar vrat
• Freshly cooked hot food on Basoda, where that custom is followed

Practical precautions:

• Children, pregnant women, older adults and people with health conditions may keep a lighter vrat or consult their doctor first.
• Avoid bhang and overly rich thandai, especially on an empty stomach.
• Keep children and loose clothing at a safe distance from the Holika fire.
• Use herbal or good-quality gulal, and apply oil on skin and hair before playing.
• Store Basoda food covered in a cool place overnight, and skip anything that smells off.
• Carry a light shawl for night-long Shivratri puja, as late hours can still be chilly.
• Put used flowers and bel patra in soil or a compost pit after puja.
