Tithi, Ekadashi, Purnima, Amavasya and festival dates for Dubai, calculated for its own sunrise and time zone. Hindu dates depend on where you are: the tithi that counts for a day is the one running at local sunrise, so a festival can fall on a different day in Dubai than in India.

Frequently asked questions
Do Hindu festivals fall on the same day in Dubai as in India?
Mostly, but not always. In the next twelve months 6 of the 41 dates here differ from New Delhi by a day: Maha Navami (19 Oct 2026), Ram Navami (14 Apr 2027), Mahavir Jayanti (18 Apr 2027), Akshaya Tritiya (8 May 2027), Ganesh Chaturthi (3 Sep 2027), Radha Ashtami (7 Sep 2027). This happens because tithis are read at local sunrise and sunset, and Dubai is 1 hours behind India.
Which time zone are these times in?
All times on this page are local time in Dubai (Asia/Dubai, UTC+4 today), and they follow daylight saving time where it applies.
How is the tithi counted outside India?
The same way: a tithi is a 12° step of the Moon away from the Sun, and the day takes the tithi that is running at local sunrise. Only the sunrise changes with the place. Coordinates used for Dubai: 25.08°N, 55.31°E.
