Puja muhurat in Visakhapatnam
In Visakhapatnam, the Dussehra (Vijayadashami) 2026 puja window runs 12:51 PM to 3:11 PM on 20 October 2026, a Tuesday. That is 22 minutes earlier than New Delhi, because the sun rises earlier in Visakhapatnam and the window is cut from the local sunrise.
How this timing is worked out
Sunrise in Visakhapatnam that day is 5:51 AM and sunset is 5:31 PM. The muhurat window is cut from that daylight span, which is why it differs from one city to the next. The rule: Dashami tithi of the Shukla paksha in purnimanta Ashwina, prevailing at aparahna (afternoon).
What Dussehra (Vijayadashami) is
Rama's victory over Ravana, and the close of Navratri. Fixed at aparahna - the afternoon - which tradition calls the vijaya (victory) hour.
