When is Maha Shivaratri observed in 2027?
According to the panchangam timelines, the holy night of Maha Shivaratri will be celebrated on 6 March, 2027 (Saturday) during the Krishna Paksha Chaturdashi phase.
What is the distinction between Valarpirai and Theipirai?
Valarpirai (Shukla Paksha) defines the fortnight of the waxing moon where light grows toward a full moon. Theipirai (Krishna Paksha) defines the dark fortnight phase where lunar visibility decreases toward a new moon.
