Q: What is the date of Shashthi Shradh in 2026?

Shashthi Shradh in 2026 falls on September 23, 2026 (Wednesday), the seventh day of Pitrupaksha. This day is for honouring ancestors who passed away on Shashthi tithi. The rituals should be performed during the Kutup Muhurat for best results. Shashthi is also known as Chhath in some regions, though it should not be confused with the Chhath Puja festival observed in Kartik month.
