Dasara 2026 in Suva
Dasara (Vijayadashami) 2026 in Suva (Fiji) is on Wednesday 21 October 2026; in India it is on Tuesday 20 October 2026, because Suva's local day reaches the deciding tithi on a different calendar date. The Vijayadashami tithi (Sukla Dasami) runs from 20 October 2026 7:20 PM to 21 October 2026 8:42 PM Suva time. The date is fixed by the tithi at afternoon (fourth fifth of daylight), which in Suva on that day is 1:06 PM – 3:37 PM. Check of the rule: 20 October 2026: afternoon 1:06 PM–3:37 PM, tithi covers 0%; 21 October 2026: afternoon 1:06 PM–3:37 PM, tithi covers 100%; 22 October 2026: afternoon 1:06 PM–3:37 PM, tithi covers 0%. That day sunrise is 5:33 AM, sunset 6:08 PM, and rahu kalam 11:51 AM – 1:25 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.
