Atiganda Yoga: Every Day It Held Sunrise, 2026 and 2027
13 days in 2026 · 14 in 2027 · sunrise at New Delhi
Atiganda is the 6th of the 27 yogas. A panchang names a day by the yoga running at sunrise, and between 1 January 2026 and 31 December 2027 Atiganda was the yoga at sunrise in New Delhi on 27 days: 13 in 2026 and 14 in 2027. Twice it began after one sunrise and ended before the next, so it named no day at all (between the sunrises of 17 May 2026 and 18 May 2026; 8 May 2027 and 9 May 2027), and it never held two sunrises in a row.
Atiganda is one of the nine yogas the muhurat filter on this site rejects, so a day named Atiganda is never offered as a muhurat day for any occasion; across the two years that ruled out 27 sunrises.

By weekday, Atiganda held sunrise most often on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays (5 times) and least on Sundays (2): Sunday 2, Monday 3, Tuesday 5, Wednesday 5, Thursday 3, Friday 5, Saturday 4. Over two years that spread is chance, not a pattern; the weekday and the yoga run on unrelated cycles.
Festivals that fell on an Atiganda day: Holika Dahan (2 March 2026), Raksha Bandhan (28 August 2026) and Bhai Dooj (11 November 2026).
In the cycle Atiganda comes after Shobhana and before Sukarma; all 27 are on the yoga 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: अतिगण्ड योग.
