The next Sashti Vratham in Jaffna is Friday, 16 October 2026; sashti thithi 3:25 am – 5:54 am (next day) SLST.
Why is Sashti Vratham in Jaffna on a different day from India?
The thithi or star behind Sashti Vratham begins and ends at the same instant worldwide, but that instant falls at a different local hour in Jaffna, and Jaffna's sunrise is different too. So in some months Sashti Vratham in Jaffna falls a day earlier or later than in Chennai. In this list 6 of 14 dates differ from India (for example Sat 13 Mar in Jaffna, Sun 14 Mar in India). India here means the Chennai printed almanac (Vakya); Jaffna dates are Thirukanitha by the local sunrise.
Which time zone are these times in?
Jaffna local time (SLST), daylight saving included. Check your local temple's notice too.
