Naraka Chaturdashi (Choti Diwali) 2026 in Columbus (Ohio, USA) is on Saturday 7 November 2026; in India it is on Sunday 8 November 2026, because Columbus's local day reaches the deciding tithi on a different calendar date. The Naraka Chaturdashi tithi (Bahula Chaturdasi) runs from 7 November 2026 12:18 AM to 8 November 2026 12:58 AM Columbus time. The date is fixed by the tithi at arunodaya (the two muhurtas before sunrise), which in Columbus on that day is 5:18 AM – 7:07 AM. Check of the rule: 6 November 2026: arunodaya 5:17 AM–7:06 AM, tithi covers 0%; 7 November 2026: arunodaya 5:18 AM–7:07 AM, tithi covers 100%; 8 November 2026: arunodaya 5:18 AM–7:09 AM, tithi covers 0%.
