Maha Shivaratri 2027 in Canada
Saturday, 6 March 2027
In India it is Saturday, 6 March 2027 — Canada observes a day earlier.
Canada does not observe on a single date this year. Cities far enough apart in longitude can fall either side of the tithi boundary — the table below gives the date for each. This is real, not a rounding artefact: the qualifying moment can sit minutes inside the window in one city and minutes outside it in another.
City by city
| City | Date | Observance time |
|---|---|---|
| Toronto, Ontario | 6 March 2027 | 00:28 |
| Brampton, Ontario | 6 March 2027 | 00:30 |
| Mississauga, Ontario | 6 March 2027 | 00:30 |
| Scarborough, Ontario | 6 March 2027 | 00:28 |
| Ottawa, Ontario | 6 March 2027 | 00:14 |
| London, Ontario | 6 March 2027 | 00:36 |
| Calgary, Alberta | 6 March 2027 | 00:47 |
| Edmonton, Alberta | 6 March 2027 | 00:45 |
| Winnipeg, Manitoba | 6 March 2027 | 00:39 |
| Montreal, Quebec | 6 March 2027 | 00:05 |
| Vancouver, British Columbia | 5 March 2027 | 00:24 |
| Surrey, British Columbia | 5 March 2027 | 00:22 |
Times are local to each city, computed from its own coordinates and real UTC offset for that date — so daylight saving is already accounted for.
Why the date can differ from India
A tithi is a 12° step of the Moon's elongation from the Sun. It begins and ends at a single instant everywhere on Earth. What changes by location is whether the moment the rule points at — sunrise, sunset or moonrise — falls inside that window on a given local date. That is why the shift runs opposite to the timezone: places west of India can observe a day earlier, places east a day later.
