Chhath Puja in Mumbai, 2026, 2027, 2028
Arghya times each yearMumbai is 4.3° west of New Delhi, and the sky turns a degree every four minutes, so that alone sets the Sun about 17 minutes later. Being 9.5° farther south moves it about 15 minutes later: in November the Sun is south of the equator, and the days are longer the farther south you are. So the evening arghya is at 6:00 PM, 32 minutes later than New Delhi, and the dawn arghya at 6:46 AM, 2 minutes later than New Delhi. Across the forty cities below, the Sun sets first in Guwahati (4:34 PM) and last in Rajkot (6:04 PM).
The date, the tithi’s times and how the day is found are on the Chhath Puja page; sunrise, Rahu Kaal and choghadiya for today are on the panchang for Mumbai.
