Jivitputrika (Jitiya) is Ashwin Krishna Ashtami, the Ashtami of the krishna paksha of Ashwin, so its date is the day on which this tithi is running at sunrise. In 2026 it touches no sunrise (a kshaya tithi), so it is kept on the day it begins. A tithi begins and ends at a real minute, not at midnight, which is why the moment decides the day, and why the same festival can fall on a different date in another country.

For New Delhi, in IST.

Why is Jivitputrika (Jitiya) on a different day in the US or UK?

A festival’s tithi begins and ends at the same instant all over the world, but the day that holds it at sunrise, at sunset or at midnight depends on where you are. So Diwali or Janmashtami can fall a day earlier in America than in India. Pick your city in the box at the top and every date and time is worked out for it.

A festival is the same day for everybody. Your chart is not.
