How the date is decided
Ashwin Krishna Trayodashi (amanta; Kartika in the North Indian purnimanta calendar), observed on the day the tithi prevails at dusk (pradosh kaal), as the almanacs reckon it for New Delhi.
2026: the tithi runs from Fri, 6 Nov 2026, 10:31 AM to Sat, 7 Nov 2026, 10:48 AM (IST).
2027: the tithi runs from Wed, 27 Oct 2027, 1:03 AM to Wed, 27 Oct 2027, 10:50 PM (IST).
Dates follow the common North Indian reckoning for New Delhi and agree with the leading almanacs. Regional calendars can differ by a day; your family’s panchangam has the final word. For your own town’s times, see today’s panchang.
