Naraka Chaturdashi 2026 in Philadelphia

Naraka Chaturdashi (Choti Diwali) 2026 in Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, USA) is on Saturday 7 November 2026; in India it is on Sunday 8 November 2026, because Philadelphia'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 Philadelphia time. The date is fixed by the tithi at arunodaya (the two muhurtas before sunrise), which in Philadelphia on that day is 4:46 AM – 6:36 AM. Check of the rule: 6 November 2026: arunodaya 4:45 AM–6:35 AM, tithi covers 0%; 7 November 2026: arunodaya 4:46 AM–6:36 AM, tithi covers 100%; 8 November 2026: arunodaya 4:47 AM–6:37 AM, tithi covers 0%.
