Vishu in 2027
Vishu falls on 15 April 2027, a Thursday in 2027.
What Vishu is
Kerala's new year at the Sun's entry into Aries, opening the month of Medam. The observance is the Vishukkani - a tray of rice, golden konna flowers, fruit, coin, mirror and lamp, arranged the night before so that it is the first thing seen on waking. The hour that matters is therefore dawn, not the sankranti instant itself, and the Vishukkaineettam - coins given by elders - follows. Kerala reckons its year solar, so Vishu barely moves: 14 or 15 April, year after year.
How this date was worked out
The rule: This one is solar: the day the Sun enters Aries. The date is derived from the panchang - the same computation that drives this site's daily pages.
Regional variation
These dates are computed for New Delhi and follow the north-Indian (purnimanta) convention. Tamil, Bengali and Kerala traditions differ on several festivals, and a tithi boundary falling near a window edge can shift the day for a distant city. Check a local panchang before committing to a fast or an event.
