Diwali 2026 in Durban
Diwali (Deepavali, Lakshmi Puja) 2026 in Durban (South Africa) is on Sunday 8 November 2026, the same day as in India. The Deepavali tithi (Bahula Amavasya) runs from 8 November 2026 7:58 AM to 9 November 2026 9:02 AM Durban time. The date is fixed by the tithi at pradosha (the first fifth of the night after sunset), which in Durban on that day is 6:23 PM – 8:29 PM. Check of the rule: 7 November 2026: pradosha 6:22 PM–8:29 PM, tithi covers 0%; 8 November 2026: pradosha 6:23 PM–8:29 PM, tithi covers 100%; 9 November 2026: pradosha 6:24 PM–8:30 PM, tithi covers 0%. That day sunrise is 4:56 AM, sunset 6:23 PM, and rahu kalam 4:42 PM – 6:23 PM; the full panchangam of the day is linked below. All times are computed for this city's coordinates and time zone from the NASA/JPL ephemeris; no time is converted from India. Dates here follow the Telugu (amanta) almanac rules. Many Hindu families in Fiji, Mauritius and South Africa use North-Indian (purnimanta) almanacs, which name the months differently and can differ for some vratams; the main festivals that are fixed by a tithi at a part of the day come out the same.
