Shubha Yoga: Every Day It Held Sunrise, 2026 and 2027
14 days in 2026 · 12 in 2027 · sunrise at New Delhi
Shubha is the 23rd of the 27 yogas. A panchang names a day by the yoga running at sunrise, and between 1 January 2026 and 31 December 2027 Shubha was the yoga at sunrise in New Delhi on 26 days: 14 in 2026 and 12 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 26 January 2026 and 27 January 2026; 28 September 2027 and 29 September 2027; 18 November 2027 and 19 November 2027), and it never held two sunrises in a row.
Shubha 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, Shubha held sunrise most often on Mondays and Wednesdays (5 times) and least on Tuesdays (2): Sunday 4, Monday 5, Tuesday 2, Wednesday 5, Thursday 3, 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 Shubha day: Nag Panchami (17 August 2026), Devshayani Ekadashi (14 July 2027) and Hartalika Teej (3 September 2027).
In the cycle Shubha comes after Sadhya and before Shukla; 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: शुभ योग.
