Vidiya 2026 – all dates (Shukla and Bahula)
Vidiya (Dwitiya) is the 2nd tithi of each paksha, so it comes twice a lunar month: Shukla or Suddha Vidiya after the new moon and Bahula or Krishna Vidiya after the full moon. Below is every Vidiya 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 1 is kshaya. The tithi lasts from 20.2 to 26.6 hours this year. Vidiya is a Bhadra tithi. Festivals fixed on it: Jagannath Rath Yatra (Ashadha Shukla Vidiya), Bhagini Hasta Bhojanam (Yama Dwitiya) (Kartika Shukla Vidiya). In New York 12 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.
