Choghadiya Today in Perth
Today’s choghadiya for Perth, Western Australia, worked out from Perth’s own sunrise and sunset in Perth time (AWST) (Australia/Perth). Perth’s Hindu life is centred on Canning Vale, which had more Hindu residents than any other Western Australian suburb in the 2021 Census and is home to the Hindu Association of WA’s Perth Hindu Temple, with further temples in Wangara, Bennett Springs and Mandogalup. Perth’s clock runs 2 hours 30 minutes ahead of India’s, so some festivals fall a day later 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. Perth 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.
