Akshaya Tritiya 2028: Thursday, 27 April 2028

Akshaya Tritiya in 2028 falls on Thursday, 27 April 2028. It is kept on the Shukla Tritiya of amanta Vaishakha.

Why Akshaya Tritiya Is on 27 April in 2028

The Shukla Tritiya begins at 01:47 on 27 April 2028 and ends at 01:28 on 28 April 2028. The 2028 instants are the same everywhere; only the clock they are read on changes. The rule recorded for Akshaya Tritiya tests the tithi at madhyahna, the middle part of the day between sunrise and sunset (“tithi at madhyahna”).

On 27 April 2028 the Sun rises at 05:43 and sets at 18:54 at New Delhi. The Shukla Tritiya is already running at sunrise, so on 27 April 2028 the sunrise rule and the madhyahna rule agree.

In 2028 the Shukla Tritiya lasts 23 hours 41 minutes, against 20 hours 39 minutes in 2026 and 21 hours 20 minutes in 2027: a tithi is twelve degrees of the Moon’s gain on the Sun, and the Moon never gains at a steady rate. The day itself runs 13 hours 11 minutes from sunrise to sunset at New Delhi, so its midpoint, the centre of madhyahna, falls near 12:19.

When the Shukla Tritiya begins, the Moon is in Krittika, ruled by the Sun.

Akshaya Tritiya in 2026, 2027 and 2028

Akshaya Tritiya 2028 comes 11 days earlier in the calendar year than Akshaya Tritiya 2027. Between Akshaya Tritiya 2027 and Akshaya Tritiya 2028 the lunation table has 12 new moons, and twelve lunations fall short of a solar year, so the date moves earlier.

In the 2028 table Akshaya Tritiya comes 18 days after Hanuman Jayanti and 10 days before Narasimha Jayanti.
