Vajra Yoga: Every Day It Held Sunrise, 2026 and 2027
13 days in 2026 · 12 in 2027 · sunrise at New Delhi
Vajra is the 15th of the 27 yogas. A panchang names a day by the yoga running at sunrise, and between 1 January 2026 and 31 December 2027 Vajra was the yoga at sunrise in New Delhi on 25 days: 13 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 15 July 2026 and 16 July 2026; 26 March 2027 and 27 March 2027; 6 July 2027 and 7 July 2027), and it never held two sunrises in a row.
Vajra is one of the nine yogas the muhurat filter on this site rejects, so a day named Vajra is never offered as a muhurat day for any occasion; across the two years that ruled out 25 sunrises.

By weekday, Vajra held sunrise most often on Mondays (6 times) and least on Tuesdays (1): Sunday 5, Monday 6, Tuesday 1, Wednesday 4, Thursday 3, Friday 4, Saturday 2. Over two years that spread is chance, not a pattern; the weekday and the yoga run on unrelated cycles.
Festivals that fell on a Vajra day: Narasimha Jayanti (30 April 2026) and Dev Uthani (20 November 2026).
In the cycle Vajra comes after Harshana and before Siddhi; 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: वज्र योग.
