Kannada Calendar 2027 October is an important monthly Panchanga page covering Ashwina (ಆಶ್ವಯುಜ) and the beginning of Kartika (ಕಾರ್ತಿಕ) according to the Kannada Amanta lunar calendar.
October 2027 contains some of the most important Hindu festivals of the year, including Sharad Navratri, Durga Ashtami, Maha Navami, Ayudha Puja, Saraswati Puja, Dussehra or Vijayadashami, Sharad Purnima, Papankusha Ekadashi, Karwa Chauth, Sankashti Chaturthi, Rama Ekadashi, Dhanteras, Naraka Chaturdashi, Deepavali, Lakshmi Puja, Govardhan Puja and Bhai Dooj.
This page provides the daily tithi, nakshatra, paksha, Kannada lunar month, festival or vrat, sunrise and sunset for Bengaluru, Karnataka. Location-dependent Panchanga information is given in Indian Standard Time (IST).
Panchanga timings can change from one city to another. A festival date can also depend on the tithi prevailing during a particular period such as sunrise, Madhyahna, Pradosha or Nishita. Therefore, Bengaluru timings should not automatically be applied to Mysuru, Mangaluru, Hubballi, Belagavi or another location.
Under the Kannada Amanta system, October begins in Ashwina Shukla Paksha. Ashwina Purnima falls on October 15, after which Krishna Paksha continues until Ashwina Amavasya on October 29. After the Amavasya, the next lunar month, Kartika, begins with Shukla Pratipada on October 30.

Kannada Calendar 2027 October – Daily Calendar
The tithi and nakshatra shown in the monthly table are the values applicable to the Bengaluru Panchanga day. Since tithi and nakshatra can change during the day, a detailed daily Panchanga should be consulted when an exact transition time is required.

| October 31 | Sunday | Kartika | Shukla | Dwitiya | Vishakha | Bhai Dooj / Bhau Beej | 06:12 AM | 05:53 PM |
The Bengaluru monthly calculation gives sunrise at approximately 6:08 AM on October 1, gradually moving to 6:12 AM on October 31, while sunset moves from approximately 6:09 PM to 5:53 PM.
The major October sequence is independently supported by the Hindu festival calendar: Dussehra on October 9, Papankusha Ekadashi on October 11, Sharad Purnima on October 14/15 depending on the observance convention, Karwa Chauth and Sankashti on October 18, Rama Ekadashi on October 25, Dhanteras on October 27 and Diwali on October 29.
Kannada Panchanga October 2027
A Panchanga (ಪಂಚಾಂಗ) traditionally contains five primary components:
- Tithi (ತಿಥಿ) – lunar day
- Nakshatra (ನಕ್ಷತ್ರ) – lunar mansion
- Yoga (ಯೋಗ) – solar-lunar combination
- Karana (ಕರಣ) – half of a tithi
- Vara (ವಾರ) – weekday
A detailed Kannada Panchanga also includes sunrise, sunset, Moonrise, Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika Kalam, Choghadiya, Muhurta and festival-specific timings.
Tithi
A tithi is determined by the angular relationship between the Sun and Moon. There are 30 tithis in a lunar month, divided between Shukla Paksha and Krishna Paksha.
A tithi can begin and end at any time during a civil day. This is why a monthly calendar should not assume that every tithi begins at midnight.
October 2027 illustrates this particularly well around Dussehra. Dashami is the festival tithi, but its relationship to Navami and the local sunrise is what determines the observance date. The 2027 Dussehra date is October 9.
Nakshatra
The Moon moves through the 27 nakshatras during its monthly cycle.
The October 2027 Bengaluru calendar includes:
- Chitra
- Swati
- Vishakha
- Anuradha
- Jyeshtha
- Mula
- Purva Ashadha
- Uttara Ashadha
- Shravana
- Dhanishtha
- Shatabhisha
- Purva Bhadrapada
- Uttara Bhadrapada
- Revati
- Ashwini
- Bharani
- Krittika
- Rohini
- Mrigashira
- Ardra
- Punarvasu
- Pushya
- Ashlesha
- Magha
- Purva Phalguni
- Uttara Phalguni
- Hasta
Nakshatra transition times become especially important when a festival or ritual has a specific nakshatra requirement.
Yoga and Karana
Yoga and Karana are the fourth and fifth elements of the Panchanga system after Tithi, Vara and Nakshatra.
They change during the day and are therefore best displayed in a detailed daily Panchanga rather than trying to fit every transition into a monthly table.
Vara
The seven weekdays are traditionally known as:
- Sunday – Ravivara
- Monday – Somavara
- Tuesday – Mangalavara
- Wednesday – Budhavara
- Thursday – Guruvara
- Friday – Shukravara
- Saturday – Shanivara
Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda and Gulika Kalam
Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda and Gulika Kalam are calculated using local sunrise and sunset.
They are therefore not fixed national clock times.
For Bengaluru, sunrise remains close to 6:08–6:12 AM during October while sunset moves substantially earlier, from around 6:09 PM to 5:53 PM. This means the associated daytime periods gradually shift throughout the month.
For users who need an exact Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda or Gulika Kalam period, the final website should generate it from the daily Bengaluru Panchanga rather than displaying one generic October value.
Kannada Months in October 2027
October 2027 contains Ashwina (ಆಶ್ವಯುಜ) and Kartika (ಕಾರ್ತಿಕ) in the Kannada Amanta calendar.
Ashwina
October begins in Ashwina Shukla Paksha.
The first half of the month contains the major Sharad Navratri and Dussehra sequence:
- Ashwina Shukla Pratipada
- Navratri
- Durga Ashtami
- Maha Navami
- Vijayadashami
- Papankusha Ekadashi
- Ashwina Purnima
The Ashwina lunar month continues through Krishna Paksha after Purnima.
Kartika
Ashwina ends with Amavasya on October 29.
The following day, October 30, begins Kartika Shukla Pratipada in the Kannada Amanta system.
This is an important distinction because some calendars using a Purnimanta system may label the Krishna Paksha differently. The Kannada calendar presented here follows the Amanta convention used for Karnataka.
Kannada Festivals and Vrat in October 2027
October is one of the strongest festival months in the Kannada calendar.
| Date | Festival / Vrat | Kannada / Regional Name | Significance |
|---|---|---|---|

| October 30 | Bali Pratipada | ಬಲಿ ಪಾಡ್ಯಮಿ | Traditional Kartika Pratipada observance |
| October 31 | Bhai Dooj | ಭಾಯಿ ದೂಜ್ | Traditional sibling observance |
The dates above follow the Bengaluru/Karnataka-oriented calendar sequence, with the broader October festival calendar independently confirming the Navratri, Dussehra, Ekadashi, Purnima, Sankashti, Dhanteras, Naraka Chaturdashi and Diwali dates.
Sharad Navratri 2027
Sharad Navratri begins on September 30, 2027, so the first part of the nine-day festival falls in September and the major concluding days occur in October.
The October sequence includes:
- October 5 – Shashthi
- October 6 – Saptami
- October 7 – Ashtami
- October 8 – Navami
- October 9 – Vijayadashami
The Navratri sequence includes regional variations. Bengal-style Durga Puja terminology can use dates such as Maha Saptami, Maha Ashtami and Maha Navami, while Karnataka’s traditional Dasara calendar emphasizes Ayudha Puja and Vijayadashami.
Durga Ashtami 2027
Durga Ashtami is Thursday, October 7, 2027.
It falls during Ashwina Shukla Ashtami.
Traditional observances can include:
- Devi Puja
- Durga worship
- Fasting
- Kumari Puja in traditions that observe it
- Special temple prayers
- Offerings to Goddess Durga
The exact Sandhi Puja timing is determined by the transition between Ashtami and Navami and therefore requires a detailed local Panchanga.
Maha Navami and Ayudha Puja 2027
Maha Navami falls on Friday, October 8, 2027, while Ayudha Puja is observed on Saturday, October 9 in the Karnataka-oriented calendar sequence.
Ayudha Puja is especially important in Karnataka. Traditionally, tools, vehicles, machinery, instruments and work-related equipment may be cleaned, decorated and worshipped.
In modern Karnataka, businesses, workshops, factories, offices, educational institutions and households may adapt the tradition to their circumstances.
Saraswati Puja is also associated with this period, especially worship of books, musical instruments and educational materials.
Dussehra 2027
Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami or Dasara, falls on Saturday, October 9, 2027.
Vijayadashami is observed on Ashwina Shukla Dashami.
The festival is traditionally associated with:
- Victory of dharma
- Lord Rama’s victory over Ravana
- Goddess Durga’s victory over Mahishasura
- Aparajita Puja
- Shami Puja in some traditions
- Ayudha Puja
- Beginning of new learning or activities in certain communities
Dussehra in Karnataka
Karnataka has a particularly strong Dasara tradition, with Mysuru Dasara being one of the state’s most prominent cultural celebrations.
The 2027 calendar identifies October 9 as Vijayadashami/Dussehra, while Mysuru Dasara-related observances continue into October 10.
This distinction is useful for a Karnataka-focused calendar because Dussehra/Vijayadashami is the religious festival date, while specific Mysuru Dasara public and cultural events can follow their own official schedules.
Papankusha Ekadashi 2027
Papankusha Ekadashi falls on Monday, October 11, 2027.
It is Ashwina Shukla Ekadashi and is traditionally dedicated to Lord Vishnu.
Devotees observing Ekadashi may follow:
- Fasting
- Vishnu Puja
- Vishnu Sahasranama
- Bhagavad Gita reading
- Bhajan
- Charity
- Parana on Dwadashi
Ekadashi fasting rules differ among Smarta and Vaishnava traditions, so the user’s established Panchanga tradition should be followed for the final fasting and Parana calculation. The Kannada Panchanga lists Papankusha Ekadashi on October 11.
Sharad Purnima 2027
Sharad Purnima falls in October 2027 around October 14–15 depending on the exact Purnima observance convention.
The Bengaluru Kannada calendar identifies October 15 as Ashwina Purnima, with Purnima prevailing at the relevant sunrise.
Other festival calendars list Sharad Purnima on October 14 because some observances are assigned according to the Purnima Tithi at night or the applicable Purnima rule.
This is an important Panchanga distinction. A professional page should not hide the difference.
Traditional Sharad Purnima observances include:
- Moon worship
- Lakshmi-related prayers
- Purnima fasting
- Night-time devotional activities
- Kojagara Puja in traditions that observe it
Purnima in October 2027
The October Purnima is Ashwina Purnima, commonly called Sharad Purnima.
For Bengaluru, the monthly Kannada calendar records:
October 15, 2027 – Ashwina Purnima
The Purnima period marks the transition from Shukla Paksha to Krishna Paksha.
Sankashti Chaturthi October 2027
Vakratunda Sankashti Chaturthi is observed on Monday, October 18, 2027.
It falls during Krishna Paksha Chaturthi.
This date is also associated with Karwa Chauth in many calendars. The two observances have different religious purposes even though they share the same Chaturthi Tithi.
Sankashti Chaturthi is traditionally associated with:
- Fasting
- Lord Ganesha worship
- Evening Puja
- Moonrise
- Offering Arghya to the Moon
- Breaking the fast after the prescribed observance
Because Sankashti fasting is connected with Moonrise, the exact Moonrise must be calculated for Bengaluru rather than copied from another city.
Karwa Chauth 2027
Karwa Chauth is Monday, October 18, 2027.
In the Amanta calendar followed in southern India, including Karnataka, the same Chaturthi can be called Ashwina Krishna Chaturthi, while Purnimanta calendars commonly call it Kartika Krishna Chaturthi. The Gregorian festival date remains October 18.
Karwa Chauth is traditionally associated with fasting and evening worship followed by Moonrise.
The exact Puja and Moonrise times are location-dependent. Because the available verified source provides detailed times for other locations rather than Bengaluru’s 2027 result, this article does not fabricate a Bengaluru Moonrise or Puja time.
Ahoi Ashtami 2027
Ahoi Ashtami falls on Friday, October 22, 2027 in the broader Hindu festival calendar.
Ahoi Ashtami is traditionally observed primarily in North Indian communities and is associated with prayers for children’s wellbeing.
Because it is not a uniquely Karnataka festival, it should be presented as a broader Hindu observance rather than described as a Karnataka-specific festival.
Rama Ekadashi 2027
Rama Ekadashi is Monday, October 25, 2027.
It occurs during Ashwina Krishna Paksha in the Kannada Amanta calendar.
Traditional observances include:
- Ekadashi fasting
- Lord Vishnu worship
- Prayer and devotional reading
- Charity
- Dwadashi Parana
The exact Parana period should be calculated for Bengaluru because it depends on local sunrise and the applicable Ekadashi rules.
Dhanteras 2027
Dhanteras is Wednesday, October 27, 2027.
It occurs during Krishna Paksha Trayodashi.
Dhanteras is traditionally associated with:
- Lord Dhanvantari
- Lakshmi worship
- Wealth and prosperity
- Purchase of certain household items
- Lighting lamps
- Yama Deepam
Dhanteras begins the principal Deepavali festival sequence in many traditions. The 2027 calendar places it on October 27.
Naraka Chaturdashi 2027
Naraka Chaturdashi is Thursday, October 28, 2027.
It occurs on Krishna Chaturdashi immediately before Deepavali Amavasya.
Traditional observances can include:
- Early morning bath
- Abhyanga Snana
- Lighting lamps
- Krishna worship
- Narakasura-related religious storytelling
The exact Abhyanga Snana period is sunrise- and tithi-dependent, so the final Bengaluru page should display the locally calculated Muhurta rather than a generic India-wide time.
Diwali 2027
Deepavali is Friday, October 29, 2027.
The day is Ashwina/Kartika Amavasya depending on the calendar naming convention, while the Kannada Amanta system changes to Kartika only after the Amavasya ends.
The Bengaluru Kannada calendar identifies October 29 as Amavasya, followed by Kartika Shukla Pratipada on October 30.
Major Deepavali observances include:
- Lakshmi Puja
- Lighting diyas
- Cleaning and decorating homes
- Traditional business worship
- Family prayers
- Exchange of sweets
- Charity
- Fireworks where legally permitted and safely used
Lakshmi Puja
Lakshmi Puja is performed during the evening Pradosha period on Deepavali.
The exact Lakshmi Puja Muhurta must be calculated for Bengaluru because the festival depends on the Amavasya Tithi and local Pradosha period.
The 2027 Lakshmi Puja date for Bengaluru is Friday, October 29.
Amavasya in October 2027
October has one principal Amavasya:
Friday, October 29, 2027 – Ashwina Amavasya / Deepavali Amavasya
The Bengaluru monthly calendar gives October 29 as Amavasya and October 30 as Shukla Pratipada.
Amavasya is important for:
- Deepavali Lakshmi Puja
- Pitru-related observances according to tradition
- Charity
- Lamp lighting
- Spiritual practices
The Amavasya ends during the evening on October 29 in the detailed Panchanga calculation, after which the next lunar month begins.
Kartika Begins in October 2027
After the Amavasya of October 29, Kartika (ಕಾರ್ತಿಕ) begins.
Therefore:
- October 1–29: Ashwina
- October 29: Ashwina Amavasya
- October 30: Kartika Shukla Pratipada
- October 31: Kartika Shukla Dwitiya
This transition is one of the most important calendar details on the October page.
Govardhan Puja 2027
Govardhan Puja is Saturday, October 30, 2027.
It falls on Kartika Shukla Pratipada in the Kannada Amanta calendar.
Govardhan Puja is associated with Lord Krishna and the traditional story of Govardhan Hill.
Traditional observances can include:
- Govardhan Puja
- Krishna worship
- Annakuta offerings
- Temple celebrations
- Preparing food offerings
Bali Pratipada 2027
October 30 also marks Bali Pratipada, associated with King Bali.
The day is known by different names across Indian regions, including Balipadyami/Bali Pratipada.
In Karnataka, Bali Pratipada forms part of the post-Diwali festive period.
Bhai Dooj 2027
Bhai Dooj is Sunday, October 31, 2027.
It is observed on Kartika Shukla Dwitiya.
Traditional observance includes sisters applying tilak to brothers and praying for their wellbeing, while brothers offer gifts or blessings.
Regional names include:
- Bhai Dooj
- Bhau Beej
- Yama Dwitiya
The Kannada calendar lists October 31 as Bhai Dooj/Bhau Beej.
Ekadashi in October 2027
There are two major Ekadashi dates in October 2027.
| Ekadashi | Date | Paksha | Kannada Month | Significance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Papankusha Ekadashi | October 11 | Shukla Paksha | Ashwina | Vishnu worship and Ekadashi fasting |
| Rama Ekadashi | October 25 | Krishna Paksha | Ashwina | Vishnu worship and traditional fasting |
The Kannada Panchanga identifies Papankusha Ekadashi on October 11 and Rama Ekadashi on October 25.
Papankusha Ekadashi
Papankusha Ekadashi is observed during Ashwina Shukla Paksha.
Devotees may observe fasting, Vishnu Puja, devotional reading and charity.
Rama Ekadashi
Rama Ekadashi occurs during Ashwina Krishna Paksha.
It is observed with Lord Vishnu worship and fasting according to the devotee’s tradition.
For both Ekadashis, the exact Parana time should be generated specifically for Bengaluru.

| October 31 | 06:12 AM | 05:53 PM |
The Bengaluru-specific monthly calculation confirms the gradual movement from approximately 06:08 AM sunrise / 06:09 PM sunset at the beginning of October to approximately 06:12 AM sunrise / 05:53 PM sunset at the end.
Karnataka Holidays in October 2027
Religious festivals and government holidays should be kept separate.
Government and Public Holidays
The final Karnataka Government holiday notification for 2027 should be treated as the authoritative source for state government offices, schools and other institutions.
This calendar should not automatically label every Hindu festival as a Karnataka government holiday.
Nationally recognized fixed-date observances in October include:
