When Dhanteras puja is performed in 2026, and why the timing window matters. We explain the basis for the timings and tell you where to check your local muhurat rather than publishing a number we cannot verify.

The window, the reason it is that window, and an honest answer about what we will not publish.
Dhanteras follows Trayodashi (13th tithi) of Krishna Paksha in Kartik. The ritual window is set by the tithi and by the position of the moon relative to the lagna for your location — which is why the same festival has a slightly different puja window in Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai even though the civil date is the same.
Because of that, we do not publish city-by-city muhurat minutes. Getting a muhurat wrong is a genuinely harmful error — people plan their day, their travel and their leave around it — and we cannot verify every city against a reliable panchang. A number we cannot stand behind is worse than telling you where to look.
For the exact window in your city, check a location-specific panchang or your family’s usual almanac. What we can tell you reliably is the date, the day of the week, whether it is a multi-day observance, and where the date itself differs between regions — all of which is below.
Counting down to Dhanteras 2026
Your local time · Friday 6 November 2026
Dhanteras falls on Friday 6 November 2026, two days before Diwali on 8 November.
Traditionally gold, silver or a new metal utensil. Any metal purchase is considered auspicious, so a single steel utensil satisfies the ritual if jewellery is not in your budget. Appliances and kitchenware are the modern equivalent.
Many Indian families consider Dhanteras and Diwali auspicious for vehicle purchases, and car dealerships run their biggest delivery days in this window. Any metal purchase qualifies on this day specifically.
It is the ritual of lighting a single diya outside the main entrance facing south on Dhanteras night, in honour of Yama, the god of death. The lamp is left to burn through the night and is not moved once lit.
