The Upākarma Crisis of 2026: Dates for Major USA Cities
A lunar eclipse on Śrāvaṇa Pūrṇimā: where Upākarma moved in 2026, for every Veda and sūtra
On Śrāvaṇa Pūrṇimā, 27 August 2026 (USA time), a partial lunar eclipse (grahaṇa) fell on the Upākarma day itself. For the Yajurveda it moved Upākarma away from Śrāvaṇa Pūrṇimā, for repeaters and first-timers alike. Śukla Yajurveda, Baudhāyana and Āpastamba moved in most USA cities to Bhādrapada Pūrṇimā (25 or 26 September), and in Seattle to 15 September (see its tile); Hiraṇyakeśī moved to Bhādrapada Hasta (12 September).
The Ṛgveda Upākarma (Śravaṇa Nakṣatra, 26 August) and the Sāmaveda Upākarma (Hasta, 12 September) were not affected.
The tiles below give every city’s dates for every Veda and sūtra, computed by the same engine as our Upākarma date pages.
Repeating: the yearly Upākarma. First-timer: the first Upākarma after upanayana. "With parihara": on that day, after the Śānti.
