Frequently asked
When is the next Sashti Vratham in Melbourne?
The next Sashti Vratham in Melbourne is Friday, 16 October 2026; sashti thithi 8:55 am – 11:24 am (next day) AET.
Why is Sashti Vratham in Melbourne 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 Melbourne, and Melbourne's sunrise is different too. So in some months Sashti Vratham in Melbourne falls a day earlier or later than in Chennai. In this list 4 of 14 dates differ from India (for example Sat 13 Mar in Melbourne, Sun 14 Mar in India). India here means the Chennai printed almanac (Vakya); Melbourne dates are Thirukanitha by the local sunrise.
Which time zone are these times in?
Melbourne local time (AET), daylight saving included. Check your local temple's notice too.
