Diwali 2027 in Sharjah
Diwali (Deepavali, Lakshmi Puja) 2027 in Sharjah (UAE) is on Thursday 28 October 2027; in India it is on Friday 29 October 2027, because Sharjah's local day reaches the deciding tithi on a different calendar date.

The date is fixed by the tithi at pradosha (the first fifth of the night after sunset), which in Sharjah on that day is 5:40 PM – 8:13 PM. Check of the rule: 27 October 2027: pradosha 5:41 PM–8:13 PM, tithi covers 0%; 28 October 2027: pradosha 5:40 PM–8:13 PM, tithi covers 36%; 29 October 2027: pradosha 5:39 PM–8:12 PM, tithi covers 0%.
