Dhanteras 2026 puja muhurat in every US city
By Kulasekhar Mittapalli ยท Updated
Dhanteras 2026 (puja) is on Friday, November 6, 2026 across USA, the same day as in India. The time is different in every city because the puja window follows that city's own sunset, not India's. Clocks go back on the first Sunday of November, so sunset comes about an hour earlier than it did in October and the evening window moves with it. Tap a city for its full schedule.

Questions
When is Dhanteras 2026 in the USA?
Friday, November 6, 2026, the same day as in India. The dhanteras puja time is different in each city; see the table.
Why is the time different in each city?
The window is fixed by the local sunset (Pradosh kaal is the hour or so after sunset), and sunset differs by city and time zone. Times here come from each city's own NOAA sunset and the Moon's position (Astronomy Engine, Lahiri ayanamsa).
How are these times calculated?
Classical Drik Ganita rules, cross-checked against leading published panchangams. Confirm family customs with your priest.
Please confirm family customs and the final muhurtam with your priest.
