Sankashti Chaturthi 2026 – dates and timings

All 13 Sankashti Chaturthi (Sankatahara Chaturthi) days of 2026 with the start and end of the bahula (krishna) chaturthi tithi in IST. The vratam day is the day the chaturthi prevails at moonrise, because the fast is broken after seeing the Moon; a Sankashti falling on a Tuesday is Angarki Sankashti. Moonrise depends on the city, so the date can differ between India, the Gulf, Europe and the Americas; the last column counts the cities on each date, and each city's own list gives the local moonrise time. In 2026 the first falls on Tuesday 6 January 2026 and the last on Saturday 26 December 2026 (India). Angarki Sankashti: 6 January 2026, 5 May 2026, 29 September 2026. 11 of the 13 dates fall on a different day in at least one city abroad. 3 of the India dates fall on a weekend: 5 April 2026 (Sun), 2 August 2026 (Sun), 26 December 2026 (Sat).
