Chaturdashi 2026 – all dates (Shukla and Bahula)
Chaturdashi is the 14th tithi of each paksha, so it comes twice a lunar month: Shukla or Suddha Chaturdashi after the new moon and Bahula or Krishna Chaturdashi after the full moon. Below is every Chaturdashi of 2026 with its masam, the tithi start and end in IST and the day it is kept: the Telugu calendar gives a day the tithi that is present at sunrise, so when a tithi covers two sunrises (vriddhi) both dates are shown, and when it begins and ends between two sunrises (kshaya) it has no day of its own. In 2026 (Hyderabad) 0 of them cover two sunrises and 2 are kshaya. The tithi lasts from 20.2 to 26.4 hours this year. Chaturdashi is a Rikta tithi. Festivals fixed on it: Nrusimha Jayanti (Vaishakha Shukla Chaturdashi), Anantha Chaturdashi (Anantha Padmanabha Vratam) (Bhadrapada Shukla Chaturdashi), Naraka Chaturdashi (Ashwayuja Bahula Chaturdashi), Maha Shivaratri (Magha Bahula Chaturdashi). In New York 9 of the dates fall a day earlier than in India because sunrise there comes 9.5-10.5 hours later. Times are computed with the NASA/JPL DE440s ephemeris and the Lahiri ayanamsa, the same engine as the daily panchangam pages.
