Choghadiya Today in Dallas

Today’s choghadiya for Dallas, Texas, worked out from Dallas’s own sunrise and sunset in Central Time (America/Chicago). Hindu life in the Dallas area centres on Frisco, Irving and Plano, the three DFW cities with the most Asian Indian residents, with temples from Allen and Coppell to Grand Prairie, East Dallas and Fort Worth. Dallas’s clock runs 10 hours 30 minutes to 11 hours 30 minutes behind India’s, so some festivals fall a day earlier here than in India.

Hindu festivals in Dallas: dates and timings

These are the dates as they fall in Dallas, worked out for Dallas’s own sunrise and moonrise. 14 of the 37 festivals below fall on a different day here than in India.

Why a date can differ: a tithi (lunar day) begins at the same instant everywhere on earth, but a festival is kept on the local day when its tithi holds at the right moment, such as sunrise or moonrise. Dallas keeps a different clock from India, so that moment can land on a different calendar day here. For festivals not listed, see the festival calendar.
