Ugadi 2026 in Suva
Ugadi (Telugu New Year) 2026 in Suva (Fiji) is on Friday 20 March 2026; in India it is on Thursday 19 March 2026, because Suva's local day reaches the deciding tithi on a different calendar date. The Ugadi tithi (Sukla Padyami) runs from 19 March 2026 1:23 PM to 20 March 2026 11:22 AM Suva time. The date is fixed by the tithi at sunrise, which in Suva on that day is 6:09 AM. Check of the rule: 19 March 2026: sunrise 6:09 AM, tithi covers 0%; 20 March 2026: sunrise 6:09 AM, tithi covers 100%; 21 March 2026: sunrise 6:10 AM, tithi covers 0%. That day sunrise is 6:09 AM, sunset 6:17 PM, and rahu kalam 10:42 AM – 12:13 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.
