Check it yourself

Shukla Tritiya begins at 19 Apr 2026, 10:50 AM and ends at 20 Apr 2026, 7:28 AM, all times IST. Those two instants are what you can check against your own panchang - the date follows from them.

Why the date moves each year

A Hindu festival is fixed to a tithi in a lunar month, not to a calendar date. The lunar year is about eleven days shorter than the solar one, so festivals drift earlier until an extra month - adhika masa - is inserted roughly every third year and they jump back.
