Raksha Bandhan 2026 in Johannesburg

Raksha Bandhan (Rakhi) 2026 in Johannesburg (South Africa) is on Thursday 27 August 2026; in India it is on Friday 28 August 2026, because Johannesburg's local day reaches the deciding tithi on a different calendar date. The Raksha Bandhan tithi (Sukla Pournami) runs from 27 August 2026 5:39 AM to 28 August 2026 6:18 AM Johannesburg time. The date is fixed by the tithi at sunrise, which in Johannesburg on that day is 6:25 AM. Check of the rule: 26 August 2026: sunrise 6:26 AM, tithi covers 0%; 27 August 2026: sunrise 6:25 AM, tithi covers 100%; 28 August 2026: sunrise 6:24 AM, tithi covers 0%. That day sunrise is 6:25 AM, sunset 5:53 PM, and rahu kalam 1:35 PM – 3:01 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.
