Sukarma Yoga: Every Day It Held Sunrise, 2026 and 2027
14 days in 2026 · 15 in 2027 · sunrise at New Delhi
Sukarma is the 7th of the 27 yogas. A panchang names a day by the yoga running at sunrise, and between 1 January 2026 and 31 December 2027 Sukarma was the yoga at sunrise in New Delhi on 29 days: 14 in 2026 and 15 in 2027. It never fell between two sunrises without holding one, and it never held two sunrises in a row.
Sukarma is not among the nine yogas the muhurat filter rejects, so on its 29 days the yoga is no obstacle; the other four limbs still have to pass.

By weekday, Sukarma held sunrise most often on Sundays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays (5 times) and least on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays (3): Sunday 5, Monday 3, Tuesday 3, Wednesday 5, Thursday 5, Friday 3, Saturday 5. Over two years that spread is chance, not a pattern; the weekday and the yoga run on unrelated cycles.
Festivals that fell on a Sukarma day: Holi (3 March 2026), Shani Jayanti (4 June 2027), Anant Chaturdashi (14 September 2027), Dussehra (9 October 2027) and Maha Navami (9 October 2027).
In the cycle Sukarma comes after Atiganda and before Dhriti; 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: सुकर्मा योग.
