Nag Panchami 2028: Wednesday, 26 July 2028

Nag Panchami in 2028 falls on Wednesday, 26 July 2028. It is kept on the Shukla Panchami of amanta Shravana.

Why Nag Panchami Is on 26 July in 2028

The Shukla Panchami begins at 19:42 on 25 July 2028 and ends at 16:46 on 26 July 2028. The 2028 instants are the same everywhere; only the clock they are read on changes. The rule recorded for Nag Panchami tests the tithi at sunrise, the default test for most of the calendar.

On 26 July 2028 the Sun rises at 05:39 and sets at 19:15 at New Delhi. The Shukla Panchami is running at that sunrise, which is the test, so 26 July 2028 is the day.

In 2028 the Shukla Panchami lasts 21 hours 4 minutes, against 24 hours 7 minutes in 2026 and 21 hours 56 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 36 minutes from sunrise to sunset at New Delhi.

When the Shukla Panchami begins, the Moon is in Uttara Phalguni, ruled by the Sun.

Nag Panchami in 2026, 2027 and 2028

Nag Panchami 2028 comes 11 days earlier in the calendar year than Nag Panchami 2027. Between Nag Panchami 2027 and Nag Panchami 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 Nag Panchami comes 2 days after Hariyali Teej and 10 days before Raksha Bandhan.

Within six days of Nag Panchami in 2028: Hariyali Teej (24 July).
