Chhath Puja dates

Computed year by year from the Moon and the Sun. Each row shows the tithi the festival sits on and the lunar month in both the amanta and purnimanta reckonings, because the two name the same month differently during krishna paksha.

Also called: Surya Shashthi, Dala Chhath

Festival

The rule

What the date is derived from, stated so you can check it.

Kartika Shukla Shashthi, the main day of the four. Nahay Khay and Kharna precede it and Usha Arghya follows it.

The day is settled by the tithi at sunrise.
