Answer

Jain New Year is observed on the day after Diwali, on Kartak Sud 1.

For this year, 2026, Jain New Year falls on:

Tuesday, 10 November 2026.

So it is on the 10th November, not 9th November.

Explanation

In Jain tradition:

• Diwali is observed as the Nirvana Kalyanak of Bhagwan Mahavir.
• The next day, Kartak Sud 1, is celebrated as Jain New Year.

Takeaway

Our New Year begins on Kartak Sud 1, which in 2026 corresponds to 10 November.
