Assamese Calendar 2027 অসমীয়া পঞ্জিকা

The Assamese calendar is built on solar months, so its dates stay remarkably steady from year to year. Here is everything it means for 2027: the new year, when each month begins, and the date of every major festival.

Solar months: why the dates barely move

Each month of this calendar begins when the Sun enters a new zodiac sign (a Sankranti), so month start dates stay within a day or two of the same Gregorian date every year. In 2027 the Sun enters Mesha (Aries) in the afternoon of April 14 — late enough that some regions begin the new year on April 15. Lunar-tithi festivals such as Durga Puja and Diwali move about ten days earlier than in 2026.

Assamese calendar 2027: what to know

In 2027, Bohag Bihu falls on a Wednesday (April 14). Compared with 2026, the Moon-based festivals shift: Kali Puja & Diwali 10 days earlier. Fixed to the solar calendar or a civil date, these stay on (almost) the same day in both years: Uruka (Magh Bihu eve), Magh Bihu, Goru Bihu, Bohag Bihu (Manuh Bihu), Kati Bihu. The 7 dates listed below run from January to October 2027.

Each month begins on the day after (or, in some regions, the day of) the Sun's Sankranti into the next sign, so a start date can move by a day from year to year.
