What is the date of Maha Bharani Shradh in 2026?

Q: What is the date of Maha Bharani Shradh in 2026?

Maha Bharani Shradh in 2026 falls on September 21, 2026 (Monday), coinciding with Chaturthi tithi. However, Maha Bharani is determined by the Bharani Nakshatra's transit during Pitrupaksha, not by a specific tithi. When Bharani Nakshatra falls during Pitrupaksha, that day becomes Maha Bharani — considered one of the most powerful days for Shradh. Check the Panchang closer to the date for the exact nakshatra timing.
