Naraka Chaturdashi 2026 in Johannesburg

Naraka Chaturdashi (Choti Diwali) 2026 in Johannesburg (South Africa) is on Sunday 8 November 2026, the same day as in India. The Naraka Chaturdashi tithi (Bahula Chaturdasi) runs from 7 November 2026 7:18 AM to 8 November 2026 7:58 AM Johannesburg time. The date is fixed by the tithi at arunodaya (the two muhurtas before sunrise), which in Johannesburg on that day is 3:47 AM – 5:13 AM. Check of the rule: 7 November 2026: arunodaya 3:48 AM–5:14 AM, tithi covers 0%; 8 November 2026: arunodaya 3:47 AM–5:13 AM, tithi covers 100%; 9 November 2026: arunodaya 3:47 AM–5:13 AM, tithi covers 0%. That day sunrise is 5:13 AM, sunset 6:29 PM, and rahu kalam 4:50 PM – 6:29 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.
