Puja muhurat in Lucknow
In Lucknow, the Dhanteras 2027 puja window runs 5:27 PM to 6:39 PM on 27 October 2027, a Wednesday. That is 13 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 6:12 AM and sunset is 5:27 PM. The muhurat window is cut from that daylight span, which is why it differs from one city to the next. The rule: Trayodashi tithi of the Krishna paksha in purnimanta Kartika, prevailing at pradosh (dusk).
What Dhanteras is
The first day of the Diwali sequence - health, wealth and auspicious purchases, with the puja kept at pradosh.
