About Gujarati Calendar 2027 – Vikram Samvat 2083

The Gujarati calendar follows the traditional Vikram Samvat system, with the Gujarati New Year beginning on Bestu Varas, the day after Diwali. The calendar for 2027 will cover the relevant months of Vikram Samvat 2083 and 2084, as the Gujarati year spans parts of two consecutive Gregorian calendar years.

This Hindu calendar holds an important place in the daily lives of Gujaratis. While the Gregorian calendar is widely used for professional, business and official purposes, the Gujarati calendar remains central to religious observances, fairs, festivals and the identification of auspicious dates.

The Gujarati calendar begins with the month of Kartak, on the day after Diwali. The twelve Gujarati months, in sequence, are Kartak, Magshar, Posh, Maha, Fagan, Chaitra, Vaishakh, Jeth, Ashadh, Shravan, Bhadarvo and Aso.

Days in the Gujarati calendar are pronounced like this: Monday = Somvar, Tuesday = Mangalvaar, Wednesday = Budhvaar, Thursday = Guruvaar, Friday = Shukravaar, Saturday = Shanivaar, and Sunday = Ravivaar.

Seasons in the Gujarati calendar

India traditionally experiences three main seasons: winter, summer and monsoon, known in Gujarati as Shiyalo, Unalo and Chomasu, respectively. However, the traditional calendar recognises six seasonal divisions, or Ritus:

• Vasant (spring): Chaitra and Vaishakh

• Grishma (summer): Jeth and Ashadh

• Varsha (monsoon): Shravan and Bhadarvo

• Sharad (autumn): Aso and Kartak

• Hemant (pre-winter): Magshar and Posh

• Shishir (winter): Maha and Fagan

These seasonal divisions reflect the traditional relationship between the Gujarati calendar, agricultural cycles and the natural environment.

Understanding Vikram Samvat 2083

The Gujarati Vikram Samvat calendar is around 56 years ahead of the Christian calendar. This means that if, according to the Christian calendar, it is the year 2027, the Gujarati calendar would consider it to be the 2083rd year (2027 + 56 = 2083). The Vikram Samvat lunar calendar was founded by Emperor Vikramaditya of Ujjain following his victory over the Shakas in 56 BCE. (To calculate the present Christian year, 57 years should be subtracted from the Indian year if the date is between the start of the Indian year and the end of the Western year, i.e., between Kartak Sud 1 and 31 December. If the date falls between the beginning of the Western year and the end of the Indian year, i.e., between 1 January and Aso vad 30, then only 56 years should be subtracted.)

The Gujarati Vikram Samvat calendar follows a solar year but divides it into 12 lunar months, each consisting of 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 3 seconds. A lunar year thus consists of 354 days, 8 hours, 48 minutes and 36 seconds. To align the lunar months with the solar year (because 60 solar months equal 62 lunar months), an extra month, called Adhik Mahino or Purushottam Maas, is added at intervals of approximately 30 months, or two and a half years. In the Gujarati Hindu Vikram Samvat calendar, seasons are determined by the sun, months by the moon, and days by both the sun and the moon.

Lunar days, or tithis, can vary in length. Sometimes, a tithi is omitted, while on other occasions, two consecutive calendar days may share the same tithi. This occurs because the Gujarati calendar calculates days based on the difference in the longitudinal angles of the sun and the moon.

The difference between the Gujarati Vikram Samvat calendar year and the northern Indian Vikram Samvat calendar year is that the Gujarati calendar year begins on the first day after the new moon in the month of Kartak (the day after Diwali, usually in October or November according to the Gregorian calendar). In northern India, the same Vikram Samvat calendar begins on the first day after the new moon in the month of Chaitra (usually in March or April according to the Gregorian calendar). In Nepal, where Vikram Samvat is the official calendar, the new year begins in mid-April.
