Choghadiya - New York, 26 September 2026

On Saturday, 26 September 2026, the Vedic calendar across New York carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 6:48 AM in New York and dipping below the horizon at 6:45 PM, bringing 11 hours 56 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Purnima of the Shukla fortnight, and the nakshatra of the day is Uttara Bhadrapada. The reigning yoga is Vriddhi, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-09-26.
