Anant Chaturdashi 2028: Saturday, 2 September 2028

Anant Chaturdashi in 2028 falls on Saturday, 2 September 2028. It is kept on the Shukla Chaturdashi of amanta Bhadrapada.

Why Anant Chaturdashi Is on 2 September in 2028

The Shukla Chaturdashi begins at 00:35 on 2 September 2028 and ends at 02:52 on 3 September 2028. The 2028 instants are the same everywhere; only the clock they are read on changes. The rule recorded for Anant Chaturdashi tests the tithi at sunrise, the default test for most of the calendar.

On 2 September 2028 the Sun rises at 05:59 and sets at 18:41 at New Delhi. The Shukla Chaturdashi is running at that sunrise, which is the test, so 2 September 2028 is the day.

In 2028 the Shukla Chaturdashi lasts 26 hours 17 minutes, against 23 hours 49 minutes in 2026 and 26 hours 8 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 12 hours 42 minutes from sunrise to sunset at New Delhi.

When the Shukla Chaturdashi begins, the Moon is in Shravana, ruled by the Moon.

Anant Chaturdashi in 2026, 2027 and 2028

Anant Chaturdashi 2028 comes 12 days earlier in the calendar year than Anant Chaturdashi 2027. Between Anant Chaturdashi 2027 and Anant Chaturdashi 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 Anant Chaturdashi comes 10 days after Ganesh Chaturthi and 1 day before Pitru Paksha begins.

Within six days of Anant Chaturdashi in 2028: Pitru Paksha begins (3 September).
