Dashami 2026 – all dates (Shukla and Bahula)
Dashami is the 10th tithi of each paksha, so it comes twice a lunar month: Shukla or Suddha Dashami after the new moon and Bahula or Krishna Dashami after the full moon. Below is every Dashami 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 0 are kshaya. The tithi lasts from 21.4 to 26.6 hours this year. Dashami is a Purna tithi. Festivals fixed on it: Hanuman Jayanti (Telugu) (Vaishakha Bahula Dashami), Vijayadashami (Dasara) (Ashwayuja Shukla Dashami). 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.
