Ugadi 2027 in New Zealand: date and local timings
Ugadi (Telugu New Year) 2027 falls on Thursday 8 April 2027 in all 3 New Zealand cities listed here. In India it is on Wednesday 7 April 2027 – the date differs because the deciding tithi reaches the local part of the day on another calendar date. The rule: Chaitra sukla padyami at sunrise; if the padyami never touches a sunrise (kshaya, e.g. 2026), the day it begins. Vriddhi -> first day. In Auckland the sunrise on 8 April 2027 runs 6:39 AM local time, and the tithi runs from 7 April 2027 11:51 AM to 8 April 2027 10:59 AM. The table gives the date for each city with the sunrise 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.
