Friday, 6 November 2026. Pradosh Kaal, Vrishabha Kaal and Trayodashi, worked out for Surat.

For Surat, in IST.
Pradosh Kaal, the evening after sunset in which the Dhanteras puja and the Yama deepdaan are done, begins. In Surat it runs 6:01–8:33 PM.
Vrishabha (Taurus), a sthir or fixed sign, is rising in the east. Tradition holds that a Lakshmi Puja done in a fixed lagna keeps Lakshmi steady in the home.
The time when Vrishabha Kaal falls inside Pradosh Kaal while Trayodashi holds: 6:33–8:32 PM in Surat. Dhanvantari is prayed to for health and Kubera and Lakshmi for the home, and the Yama diya is lit outside the main door, its flame to the south.
The full puja vidhi, the samagri and the katha are on the Dhanteras page.
Surat is 4.4° west of New Delhi, and the sky turns a degree every four minutes, so that alone sets the sun about 18 minutes later. Being 7.4° farther south moves it about 10 minutes later: in November the Sun is south of the equator, and the days are longer the farther south you are. Sunset is at 6:01 PM, 28 minutes later than New Delhi, and Vrishabha Kaal turns with the same sky, so the muhurat moves with them. Only Trayodashi is the same instant everywhere, 6 Nov, 10:31 AM to 7 Nov, 10:48 AM IST. Across the forty cities below, the muhurat begins first in Guwahati (5:09 PM) and last in Rajkot (6:39 PM).
The date, the tithi’s times and how the day is found are on the Dhanteras page; sunrise, Rahu Kaal and choghadiya for today are on the panchang for Surat.
6:33–8:32 PM IST on Friday, 6 November 2026. That is where Pradosh Kaal (6:01–8:33 PM) meets Vrishabha Kaal, the fixed lagna, while Trayodashi holds.
Because the sun sets 28 minutes later than New Delhi, and Vrishabha Kaal rises in the city’s own sky; only Trayodashi is the same instant everywhere. The working for this city is above.
7:13–8:37 PM on Wednesday, 27 October 2027.
7:57–8:42 PM on Sunday, 15 October 2028.
Yes. In 2026 it is Friday, 6 November 2026 in both. The tithi begins and ends at the same instant everywhere; only the evening it is read in moves.
