Hindu Calendar September 2026: festivals, vrats and tithi
6 festivals
6 festivals · 7 vrat days
In the Hindu calendar September 2026 runs from Bhadrapada Krishna Chaturthi to Ashwin Krishna Chaturthi (purnimanta reckoning, Vikram Samvat 2083 Siddharthi). 6 festivals and 7 vrat days fall in it, and every day's tithi, nakshatra and date is computed from the Moon and the Sun rather than copied from a list.
Every date below is computed for New Delhi. Open the festival's own page to move it to your city — an observance decided at moonrise, such as Karwa Chauth, can genuinely fall on a different day elsewhere.
| Date | Weekday | Festival or vrat |
|---|---|---|
| 25 July 2026, Saturday to 20 November 2026, Friday | Saturday | Chaturmas |
| 4 September 2026 | Friday | Krishna Janmashtami |
| 14 September 2026 | Monday | Ganesh Chaturthi |
| 14 September 2026 | Monday | Hartalika Teej |
| 25 September 2026 | Friday | Anant Chaturdashi |
| 26 September 2026, Saturday to 10 October 2026, Saturday | Saturday | Pitru Paksha |
Each row is the civil day from sunrise in New Delhi. The tithi is the one running at sunrise, which is the tithi that names the day, with the time it ends (24-hour clock, IST). A tithi still running at the next sunrise names two days (vriddhi); one that begins and ends between two sunrises is kshaya and is shown beside the day it runs through. The month is the purnimanta name used in North India, with the amanta name in brackets on the days the two reckonings differ.

Vikram Samvat 2083 (Siddharthi), Shaka Samvat 1948.
| Reckoning | Hindu month | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purnimanta (North India: month ends at the full Moon) | Bhadrapada | 1 September 2026 | 26 September 2026 |
| Purnimanta (North India: month ends at the full Moon) | Ashwin | 27 September 2026 | 30 September 2026 |
| Amanta (South and West India: month ends at the new Moon) | Shravana | 1 September 2026 | 11 September 2026 |
| Amanta (South and West India: month ends at the new Moon) | Bhadrapada | 12 September 2026 | 30 September 2026 |
The two reckonings name the same day differently for about half of every month: a purnimanta month ends at the full Moon, so its dark fortnight already carries the next month's name, while an amanta month runs on to the new Moon. Vikram Samvat is counted here from the first day of purnimanta Chaitra, as AstroSage prints it; readers who keep the amanta calendar begin the new year at Chaitra Shukla Pratipada (Gudi Padwa, Ugadi) about a fortnight later, which is also when Shaka Samvat turns over.
