Sankashti Chaturthi 2026 in Chennai – dates and local timings

All 13 Sankashti Chaturthi dates of 2026 for Chennai (Tamil Nadu, India), with the start and end of the tithi in Chennai local time (Asia/Kolkata; IST). The first is on Tuesday 6 January 2026 and the last on Saturday 26 December 2026. 3 of them fall on a weekend: 5 April 2026 (Sun), 2 August 2026 (Sun), 26 December 2026 (Sat). Moonrise on these nights ranges from 7:55 PM (29 September 2026) to 9:55 PM (4 June 2026). Angarki Sankashti (on a Tuesday): 6 January 2026, 5 May 2026, 29 September 2026. The vratam day is the day the krishna chaturthi prevails at local moonrise, since the fast is broken after sighting the Moon; the moonrise column gives that time. A Tuesday Sankashti is Angarki. 1 of the 13 dates fall on a different day than in India (Hyderabad), shown in the last column: the tithi ends at the same instant worldwide, but Chennai's sunrise comes at a different moment of it. Chennai is about 520 km from Hyderabad and its sunrise comes on average 7 minutes earlier, which shifts rahu kalam by about as much and can move an observance by a day when a tithi changes close to sunrise; this year 1 of the dates here differ from Hyderabad. Each date links to that day's full panchangam for this city, with rahu kalam, nakshatra and end times.
