Naraka Chaturdashi (Choti Diwali) 2026 in Raleigh (North Carolina, USA) is on Saturday 7 November 2026; in India it is on Sunday 8 November 2026, because Raleigh's local day reaches the deciding tithi on a different calendar date.

The date is fixed by the tithi at arunodaya (the two muhurtas before sunrise), which in Raleigh on that day is 4:54 AM – 6:42 AM. Check of the rule: 6 November 2026: arunodaya 4:54 AM–6:41 AM, tithi covers 0%; 7 November 2026: arunodaya 4:54 AM–6:42 AM, tithi covers 100%; 8 November 2026: arunodaya 4:55 AM–6:43 AM, tithi covers 0%.
