Shukla Dashami Tithi: Every Day It Held Sunrise, 2026 and 2027

Shukla Dashami is the 10th of the 30 tithis, the bright fortnight’s 10th. A panchang names a day by the tithi running at sunrise, and between 1 January 2026 and 31 December 2027 Shukla Dashami was the tithi at sunrise in New Delhi on 24 days: 12 in 2026 and 12 in 2027. Once it began after one sunrise and ended before the next, so it named no day at all (between the sunrises of 17 March 2027 and 18 March 2027), and once it held two sunrises in a row, naming two consecutive days (8 November 2027 and 9 November 2027).

Its number, 10, is among the tithis the muhurat filter favours, so on its 24 days the tithi is no obstacle. A list of the days a tithi held sunrise is not a list of vrat days: an observance tied to a tithi is fixed by its own rule, which the festival pages apply one by one.

The 24 Days, Month by Month

By weekday, Shukla Dashami held sunrise most often on Wednesdays (5 times) and least on Thursdays (1): Sunday 3, Monday 4, Tuesday 3, Wednesday 5, Thursday 1, Friday 4, Saturday 4. Over two years that spread is chance, not a pattern; the weekday and the tithi run on unrelated cycles.

Festivals that fell on a Shukla Dashami day: Ganga Dussehra (24 June 2026), Dev Uthani (20 November 2026) and Ganga Dussehra (13 June 2027).

In the cycle Shukla Dashami comes after Shukla Navami and before Shukla Ekadashi; all 30 are on the tithi index. For what the five limbs are and how a day’s panchang is read, see reading the panchang and the guide to choosing a day. This page in Hindi: शुक्ल दशमी तिथि.
