2026 calendar reference for Canada
The cited reference uses Toronto example. In that example, Purnima Shraddha is September 25, the Pratipada sequence begins September 26, and Sarva Pitru Amavasya is October 9.
Toronto’s 2026 calendar is earlier than New Delhi at the beginning and end of the sequence; use the city where the rite is performed.
Why a country name is not enough
Panchang calculations depend on the city, timezone, sunrise and the tithi prevailing during the relevant part of the day. A country can span several time zones, so this page uses a named city example rather than presenting one clock time as universal for the whole country.
