September 2026 Panchang Calendar — Gurgaon
Every tithi and nakshatra below is the one in force at Gurgaon's own sunrise on that date — Gurugram sits at 77.03°E, so a day can carry a different tithi here than in a calendar computed for another meridian when a boundary falls near dawn. The lunar month is labelled by the purnimanta convention this city uses.
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| Lunar months spanned | Bhadrapada–Ashwin |
| Earliest sunrise | 06:00 |
| Latest sunrise | 06:14 |
| Longest day | 764 minutes |
| Shortest day | 715 minutes |
| Ekadashi days | 2 |
| Purnima / Amavasya | 1 / 1 |
| Mornings whose tithi differs from New Delhi | 0 |
Sunrise in Gurgaon moves from 06:00 on the 1st to 06:14 on the 30th, and sunset from 18:44 to 18:10 — the day shortens by 49 minutes across September, which drags every kaal window and every Choghadiya slot with it.
On none of the 30 mornings this month does the tithi at Gurgaon's sunrise differ from the one at New Delhi's — every boundary this month happens to fall clear of both dawns.
The two times under each date are that morning's sunrise at Gurgaon and the start of that day's Rahu Kaal, which is the eighth of real daylight assigned to Rahu on that weekday. Both move with the city, not just with the date: they are what a calendar computed for another meridian gets wrong even on the days it agrees about the tithi.
Gurgaon and New Delhi share one sky
Across the 365 mornings of the year, sunrise at Gurgaon never differs from sunrise at New Delhi — 25 km away — by more than 66 seconds, and on every one of those mornings the tithi and the nakshatra standing at the two sunrises were the same. Two calendars that agree that closely are, for indexing purposes, one calendar.
So this page is canonicalised to the New Delhi calendar: search engines are told to treat that one as the copy of record instead of indexing this as a second version of it. Nothing is removed — the page stays, because people look for Gurgaon by name, and every figure on it is computed for Gurgaon's own coordinates, 28.46°N 77.03°E, rather than copied across.
Observances in September 2026
| Date | Observance | Tithi it is fixed to | What the day is |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 September | Sankashti Chaturthi | Bhadrapada Krishna Chaturthi | Bahula Chaturthi — the Ganesha fast broken at moonrise, which is later than any time on this page. |
| 4 September | Krishna Janmashtami | Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami | Decided at midnight rather than sunrise, so temple announcements can fall a day either side of the tithi marked here. |
| 7 September | Aja Ekadashi | Bhadrapada Krishna Ekadashi | One of the twenty-four named ekadashis; the fast runs from this sunrise to the parana window after the next. |
| 15 September | Ganesh Chaturthi | Bhadrapada Shukla Chaturthi | The installation tithi; Mumbai and Pune run ten days from it to Anant Chaturdashi. |
| 19 September | Radha Ashtami | Bhadrapada Shukla Ashtami | Radha's birth tithi, exactly a fortnight after Janmashtami in the Braj reckoning. |
| 22 September | Parivartini Ekadashi | Bhadrapada Shukla Ekadashi | One of the twenty-four named ekadashis; the fast runs from this sunrise to the parana window after the next. |
| 25 September | Anant Chaturdashi | Bhadrapada Shukla Chaturdashi | The Ganpati visarjan day and the close of the ten-day festival. |
Why the month is named what it is here
Gurugram uses the purnimanta month of the Haryana–Delhi belt. Its coordinates put it barely a fifth of a degree west of Delhi, so this page and a Delhi almanac agree on sunrise to within a minute — the honest reason a separate Gurugram page exists is not a different sky but a different local calendar of observance, which is what this page's own city note is for.
How a festival lands on a date
None of the dates above is stored. Each observance is held here as the rule that defines it — a lunar month, a fortnight and a tithi — and resolved against the computed panchang for Gurgaon each time this calendar is rebuilt, which is why the same festival moves through the Gregorian year and why two adjacent cities can differ by a day. The lunar month name follows the purnimanta reckoning; the intercalary adhika masa, which repeats a month name roughly every thirty-two months, is detected and its festivals are attributed to the regular month rather than the leap one.
A day is marked by the tithi standing at sunrise. Observances that are settled at another moment — Janmashtami at midnight, Diwali at pradosh, Ahoi Ashtami at starrise — can therefore be announced by a temple one day either side of the marker here, and the table above says so where it applies. Solar festivals such as Makar Sankranti are keyed to the Sun's ingress instead, which is why they barely move.
