Diwali 2027 in Durban
Diwali (Deepavali, Lakshmi Puja) 2027 in Durban (South Africa) is on Thursday 28 October 2027; in India it is on Friday 29 October 2027, because Durban's local day reaches the deciding tithi on a different calendar date. The Deepavali tithi (Bahula Amavasya) runs from 28 October 2027 5:18 PM to 29 October 2027 3:36 PM 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 6:14 PM – 8:24 PM. Check of the rule: 27 October 2027: pradosha 6:13 PM–8:24 PM, tithi covers 0%; 28 October 2027: pradosha 6:14 PM–8:24 PM, tithi covers 100%; 29 October 2027: pradosha 6:15 PM–8:24 PM, tithi covers 0%. That day sunrise is 5:05 AM, sunset 6:14 PM, and rahu kalam 1:18 PM – 2:57 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.
