There is some confusion among the people regarding the date of Phulera Dooj in the year 2026, because Dwitiya Tithi is starting from 18th February, but the festival will be celebrated on 19th February.

Date on 18th, then why is Phulera Dooj on 19th February?
According to the calculations of the Panchang, Dwitiya Tithi will start on 18 February 2026 at 04:57 PM, while Dwitiya Tithi will end on 19 February 2026 at 03:58 PM. In Hindu religion, Udaya Tithi, the date present at the time of sunrise, is considered very important for determining the festivals. Since Pratipada Tithi will be at sunrise on 18th February and Dwitiya Tithi is starting from the evening, sunrise on 19th February will be on Dwitiya Tithi. For this reason, according to the belief of Udaya Tithi, the fast and festival of Phulera Dooj will be celebrated on 19th February only.
