Sankranti 2026 in Suva
Makar Sankranti (Sankranthi) 2026 in Suva (Fiji) is on Thursday 15 January 2026; in India it is on Wednesday 14 January 2026, because Suva's local day reaches the deciding tithi on a different calendar date. Rule: Sun enters sidereal Makara; ingress in (previous sunset, today's sunset] -> today, after sunset -> tomorrow, in local time. That day sunrise is 5:42 AM, sunset 6:48 PM, and rahu kalam 1:53 PM – 3:31 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.
