How the Sankashti Chaturthi date is decided
Sankashti Chaturthi is the Chaturthi of Krishna paksha, and it is decided at moonrise: the fast ends when the Moon is seen, so the day is the one whose moonrise falls inside Chaturthi. Moonrise moves by well over an hour across India — far more than sunrise does — which is why the moonrise time, the number the fast actually turns on, is printed for the city you choose. When Chaturthi is running at moonrise on two evenings, the first is kept; when it touches neither moonrise, the fast is kept on the day Chaturthi is running at sunrise. A Sankashti on a Tuesday is Angaraki Chaturthi. The Magha one is Sakat Chauth and the Kartika one is Karwa Chauth, both in the purnimanta reckoning of North India.
Sankashti Chaturthi 2026 in other cities
The moment that decides the day — sunrise, the evening pradosh or moonrise — differs across India by well over an hour, so the day itself, not only the clock times, can differ between two cities on this list.

Is Sankashti Chaturthi on the same day everywhere in India?
Not always. The day is decided at sunrise, sunset or moonrise, and all three move with the city, so Srinagar and a city far to the west or east can disagree about the day itself. Switch city above and the whole table is recomputed.
