Dhriti Yoga: Every Day It Held Sunrise, 2026 and 2027
12 days in 2026 · 14 in 2027 · sunrise at New Delhi
Dhriti is the 8th of the 27 yogas. A panchang names a day by the yoga running at sunrise, and between 1 January 2026 and 31 December 2027 Dhriti was the yoga at sunrise in New Delhi on 26 days: 12 in 2026 and 14 in 2027. Three times it began after one sunrise and ended before the next, so it named no day at all (between the sunrises of 23 April 2026 and 24 April 2026; 29 August 2026 and 30 August 2026; 22 February 2027 and 23 February 2027), and it never held two sunrises in a row.
Dhriti is not among the nine yogas the muhurat filter rejects, so on its 26 days the yoga is no obstacle; the other four limbs still have to pass.

By weekday, Dhriti held sunrise most often on Mondays and Thursdays (5 times) and least on Tuesdays (2): Sunday 4, Monday 5, Tuesday 2, Wednesday 3, Thursday 5, Friday 4, Saturday 3. Over two years that spread is chance, not a pattern; the weekday and the yoga run on unrelated cycles.
Festivals that fell on a Dhriti day: Durga Ashtami (19 October 2026), Ram Navami (15 April 2027), Pitru Paksha begins (15 September 2027) and Chhath Puja (4 November 2027).
In the cycle Dhriti comes after Sukarma and before Shula; 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: धृति योग.
