What is the date of Saptami Shradh in 2026?

Saptami Shradh in 2026 falls on September 24, 2026 (Thursday), the eighth day of Pitrupaksha. This day is dedicated to performing Shradh for ancestors who passed away on a Saptami tithi. The rituals should be completed during the Kutup or Rohina Muhurat. In some traditions, Saptami is considered especially auspicious because the seventh tithi is associated with Surya (the Sun God), symbolising illumination of the ancestral path.
