Shradh Calendar 2027
Pitru Paksha 2027: Dates, Shradh Tithi Table and What to Do
Quick answer: Pitru Paksha 2027 begins with Purnima shradh on Wednesday 15 September 2027 and ends with Sarva Pitru Amavasya on Wednesday 29 September 2027 — the Amavasya tithi begins at 10:56 AM on the 29th and holds the afternoon, the classical shradh window, and runs until 8:08 AM on 30 September. Sharad Navratri's ghatasthapana follows on Thursday 30 September. The day-by-day tithi table is below.
The sixteen days
| Date (2027) | Shradh tithi (aparahna rule) |
|---|---|
| Wed 15 Sep | Purnima shradh (Bhadrapada Purnima) |
| Thu 16 Sep | Pratipada |
| Fri 17 Sep | Dwitiya |
| Sat 18 Sep | Tritiya |
| Sun 19 Sep | Chaturthi |
| Mon 20 Sep | Panchami |
| Tue 21 Sep | Shashthi |
| Wed 22 Sep | Saptami |
| Thu 23 Sep | Ashtami |
| Fri 24 Sep | Navami (Matru Navami — for mothers) |
| Sat 25 Sep | Dashami |
| Sun 26 Sep | Ekadashi (Indira Ekadashi) |
| Mon 27 Sep | Dwadashi |
| Tue 28 Sep | Trayodashi and Chaturdashi (Chaturdashi holds the afternoon — for those who died by accident or violence) |
| Wed 29 Sep | Sarva Pitru Amavasya — all ancestors (Amavasya holds the afternoon) |
Each day is assigned the tithi that prevails in the aparahna (about 1:20–3:45 PM in Delhi), the classical window for shradh. Trayodashi is short in 2027 and shares 28 September with Chaturdashi. The Amavasya begins at 10:56 AM on 29 September and holds that afternoon, so Sarva Pitru shradh is done on the 29th; the Amavasya tithi itself continues to 8:08 AM on 30 September, and Navratri's ghatasthapana follows on 30 September.
Which day is yours
Shradh is done on the tithi (not the date) on which the person died — Purnimanta Ashwin Krishna paksha. If the tithi is unknown, Sarva Pitru Amavasya on 30 September serves for all. The Pitru Paksha 2026 page explains the tarpan and pind-daan in detail; the rules do not change.
Pitru dosha in the chart
Sun or Moon with Rahu or Ketu, or the 9th house afflicted, is read as Pitru dosha; Pitru Paksha is its remedy season. The free kundli shows the 9th house and the nodes.
