Puja muhurat in Lucknow
In Lucknow, the Chhath Puja 2026 puja window runs 5:15 PM to 6:27 PM on 15 November 2026, a Sunday. That is 12 minutes earlier than New Delhi, because the sun rises earlier in Lucknow and the window is cut from the local sunrise.
How this timing is worked out
Sunrise in Lucknow that day is 6:25 AM and sunset is 5:15 PM. The muhurat window is cut from that daylight span, which is why it differs from one city to the next. The rule: Shashthi tithi of the Shukla paksha in purnimanta Kartika, prevailing at pradosh (dusk).
What Chhath Puja is
Devotion to Surya, kept especially in Bihar and eastern UP. The sandhya arghya - the evening offering - is the anchor, so the date is fixed at pradosh.
