Last year: Vijayadashami 2026 – Tuesday 20 October 2026

Vijayadashami (Dasara), Ashwayuja Sukla Dasami, closes Navaratri: the victory of Durga over Mahishasura and of Rama over Ravana. In the Telugu states the day is for jammi (sami) puja after the aparahna, exchanging sami leaves as 'gold', reading the Aparajita stotram and beginning new learning and ventures in the Vijaya muhurtam. The dasami present at aparahna (afternoon) decides the date, which is why it can differ from the day the dasami is at sunrise.

Every time is computed for the city's own coordinates and time zone (daylight saving applied); nothing is converted from IST. The last column is the part of the day the rule judges, afternoon (fourth fifth of daylight); the date is the day the tithi covers it. It is the window the tradition names for the observance, not a separately chosen muhurtham; we do not print other muhurthams because we have not verified them.

How the date is decided

Ashwayuja sukla dasami prevailing at aparahna; larger coverage wins, tie -> first day.
