Naraka Chaturdashi 2026 in USA: date and local timings
Naraka Chaturdashi (Choti Diwali) 2026 falls on Saturday 7 November 2026 in all 89 USA cities listed here. In India it is on Sunday 8 November 2026 – the date differs because the deciding tithi reaches the local part of the day on another calendar date. The rule: Ashwayuja bahula chaturdashi at arunodaya (pre-dawn abhyanga snana); vriddhi -> second day. In New York the arunodaya (the two muhurtas before sunrise) on 7 November 2026 runs 4:43 AM – 6:33 AM local time, and the tithi runs from 7 November 2026 12:18 AM to 8 November 2026 12:58 AM. The table gives the date for each city with the arunodaya window and the tithi in local clock time (daylight saving applied), all computed from the NASA/JPL ephemeris for the city's own sunrise and sunset, never converted from IST.
