When is Laxmi Puja in 2083 (2026)?

Sunday, Kartik 22, 2083 BS, which is 8 November 2026. Kukur Tihar (Narak Chaturdashi) is kept on the morning of the same day.

Why is Laxmi Puja on Sunday when the calendar shows Aunsi on Monday?

The civil calendar names each day by the tithi at sunrise. Amavasya is current at sunrise on Monday, so Monday is labelled Aunsi. Laxmi Puja, however, follows the Amavasya that covers the evening (pradosha). Amavasya begins at about 11:42 Nepal time on Sunday and covers Sunday evening and midnight; on Monday it ends at about 12:46, so Monday evening is already Shukla Pratipada.

Can Kukur Tihar and Laxmi Puja fall on the same day?

Yes. Kukur Tihar belongs to Chaturdashi, which is current at sunrise on Sunday. Laxmi Puja belongs to the Amavasya of the evening, which has begun by Sunday afternoon. The classical rule for this case is Chaturdashi in the morning and Amavasya at pradosha on the same civil day.

When is Gai Puja in 2083?

Monday, 9 November 2026, in the morning, while Amavasya is still current (it is the sunrise tithi that day).

Does Somavati Amavasya on Monday move Laxmi Puja?

No. Somavati Amavasya is a yoga for a morning bath and charity when Amavasya meets Monday at sunrise. It concerns morning observances and does not change an evening festival whose rule is pradosha.

Do India and Nepal agree this year?

Yes. The Nepal Panchanga Nirnayak Samiti and India's major panchangs both place Laxmi Puja (Deepavali) on Sunday, 8 November 2026.
