    Jain tithi (lunar) based on Vikram Samvat for 2026 Mumbai [India]

    7 months ago 175

    Vikram Samvat tithis for a whole year city‑wise (like “all Jain tithis for 2026 – Mumbai”) are normally given in a Jain Panchāng or printed wall calendar, not listed sutra‑style in our scriptures. Generating a full, accurate day‑by‑day table here is not practical or reliable.

    But I can tell you the basic framework and how to get the exact tithi for any date:

    ---

    1. Which Vikram Samvat year covers 2026?

    For Mumbai, India:

    • Gregorian year 2026 mostly corresponds to
    Vikram Samvat 2082–2083 and Vīr Samvat 2552–2553 (Mahavir Samvat).
    • Example around “today”:
    23 January 2026 ≈ Māgh Sud 5, Vikram Samvat 2082 (Magh Shukla Panchami).

    (Exact start/end of months and when the tithi changes during the day must be taken from a panchāng.)

    ---

    2. Jain tithi vs general (Hindu) tithi

    For practical purposes, the lunar tithi itself is the same (based on the Moon–Sun angle), but:

    1. Day boundary:

    - In Jain usage, the “tithi of the day” is usually taken from sunrise to next sunrise at the given place (here, Mumbai). - So sometimes what general panchāng calls “today’s tithi” (based on midnight or a different rule) may differ from what Jains treat as the main tithi for that day’s vrats.

    1. Festival / vrat usage:

    - Jain panchāng will mark Paryushan, Ayambil Oli, Aatham, Chaudas, Kalyānak days, Samvatsari, etc., which are specifically important in Jain Dharma.

    Because of these details, Jains rely on a Jain‑specific panchāng rather than a generic Hindu calendar.

    3. How to get accurate Jain tithi for 2026 – Mumbai

    To know, for example, “On 15 March 2026 in Mumbai, which Jain tithi (Vikram Samvat) is it?” you should use one of these:

    1. Printed Jain Calendar / Panchāng (for 2026)

    - Example types: “Padmodaya Jain Calendar”, “Jain Tithi Darpan”, “Jain Panchāng” etc. - Make sure it clearly mentions: - Year: Vikram Samvat 2082–2083 - Place: Mumbai (or “Bombay / Metro cities” including Mumbai) - These calendars already adjust for Mumbai sunrise, so the tithi shown for each date will be the Jain tithi for that city.

    1. Online Jain Panchāng

    - Some Jain panchāng sites let you select city = Bombay/Mumbai and date, and they show: - Jain tithi (e.g., “Māgh Sud 3”) - Vikram Samvat year - Often also mark Jain parvas and Kalyānak days. - Always choose “Bombay / Mumbai” from the city list to avoid time‑zone errors.

    Once you have such a panchāng for 2026, you will get a complete list of Jain tithis for every day of 2026 in Mumbai, which is what you are asking for.

    ---

    4. If you want only some key Jain dates for 2026

    If you are mainly interested in things like:

    • Paryushan (Śvetāmbara / Digambara)
    • Mahavir Jayanti (Chaitra Sud Teras / Chaitra Shukla 13)
    • Samvatsari (Kshamāpanā)
    • Important Aatham/Chaudas for upvās or ayambil

    tell me which specific festivals or months you care about, and I can list their approximate Gregorian dates for 2026 along with the Jain tithi and Vikram Samvat — but not a full 365‑day tithi table.
