Dhanteras 2026 in every city, India and Canada
Each city's date and Dhanteras puja muhurat on its own local clock, from its own sunrise and sunset.
How the date is worked out
Dhanteras falls on the day its tithi is running in Pradosh Kaal, the evening window after sunset (a fifth of the night) at your location. The puja muhurat is the part of Pradosh Kaal when the fixed sign Vrishabha (Taurus) is rising, while the tithi lasts. Dates follow these traditional rules and each city's sunrise, so they can differ between cities, and sometimes from a printed calendar made for another place.
Plan the rest of your day
Rahu Kaal, Choghadiya and Abhijit Muhurta for the day are in your city's Panchang. For questions about your own chart and timing, talk to one of our expert astrologers.

Dhanteras is observed on the day its tithi is running in Pradosh Kaal, the evening window after sunset (a fifth of the night) at your location. Because sunrise and sunset differ from place to place, the date and time can differ between cities, and sometimes from a printed calendar made for another city.
Every muhurat is counted from your own city's sunrise and sunset, and the tithi changes at the same instant everywhere but at a different clock time in each time zone. That is why each city in India and Canada has its own date and time.
