Dasara (Vijayadashami) 2027 falls on Sunday 10 October 2027 in all 3 New Zealand cities listed here. In India it is on Saturday 9 October 2027 – the date differs because the deciding tithi reaches the local part of the day on another calendar date. The rule: Ashwayuja sukla dasami prevailing at aparahna; larger coverage wins, tie -> first day. In Auckland the afternoon (fourth fifth of daylight) on 10 October 2027 runs 2:25 PM – 4:58 PM local time, and the tithi runs from 9 October 2027 4:32 PM to 10 October 2027 7:11 PM.
