Naraka Chaturdashi (Choti Diwali) 2026 in Chicago (Illinois, USA) is on Saturday 7 November 2026; in India it is on Sunday 8 November 2026, because Chicago's local day reaches the deciding tithi on a different calendar date. The Naraka Chaturdashi tithi (Bahula Chaturdasi) runs from 6 November 2026 11:18 PM to 7 November 2026 11:58 PM Chicago time. The date is fixed by the tithi at arunodaya (the two muhurtas before sunrise), which in Chicago on that day is 4:39 AM – 6:30 AM. Check of the rule: 6 November 2026: arunodaya 4:38 AM–6:29 AM, tithi covers 0%; 7 November 2026: arunodaya 4:39 AM–6:30 AM, tithi covers 100%; 8 November 2026: arunodaya 4:40 AM–6:31 AM, tithi covers 0%.
