Guru Pushya and Ravi Pushya Yoga dates in 2026
- Guru Pushya Yoga 2026 (Thursday): 21 May 2026, 17–18 Jun 2026.

Guru Pushya and Ravi Pushya are traditionally seen as especially favourable days. Suvarnaprashan is still given on every ordinary Pushya day; the special yoga is a bonus, not a requirement.

What is Pushya Nakshatra and why is Suvarnaprashan given on it?
Pushya is the 8th of the 27 nakshatras (lunar stars). Classical Ayurvedic texts, including the Kashyapa Samhita, describe giving Suvarna Prashana — honey, ghee and herbs prepared with Swarna Bhasma (purified gold) — to children, and tradition links it with Pushya because Pushya means "nourishing". This is a traditional belief; it is not a vaccine and not a substitute for medical care or your child's immunisation schedule.

How we calculated these dates
Dates are computed from the Moon's sidereal position (Lahiri ayanamsa) using the Swiss Ephemeris, for Ahmedabad, Gujarat, in Indian Standard Time. Pushya runs while the Moon is between 93°20′ and 106°40′. Local panchangs can differ by a few minutes.
Suvarnaprashan at Advait Ayurveda, Gota, Ahmedabad
Dr. Kalpit N. Goswami (13+ years in Ayurveda, 15,000+ patients treated) gives Suvarnaprashan drops to children after a short check-up. Please message us a day before your Pushya date so we can plan your slot — and call for Sunday (Ravi Pushya) dates, because the clinic is normally closed on Sundays.
Pushya Nakshatra 2026 — frequently asked questions
When is the next Pushya Nakshatra in 2026?
From 6 October 2026 the next Pushya Nakshatra begins on Sunday 1 November 2026 at 5:39 AM and ends Monday 2 November at 4:30 AM (IST, Ahmedabad). It is also a Ravi Pushya Yoga. After that: 28–29 November and 25–26 December 2026.
How many Pushya Nakshatra days are there in 2026?
14 in 2026: 4–5 Jan, 1 Feb, 28 Feb–1 Mar, 27–28 Mar, 24 Apr, 21 May, 17–18 Jun, 15 Jul, 11–12 Aug, 7–8 Sep, 5 Oct, 1 Nov, 28–29 Nov and 26 Dec. Pushya returns about every 27 days.
Which date is Guru Pushya Yoga in 2026?
21 May 2026 (Thursday, full day) and 18 June 2026 (Thursday till 11:32 AM). Both are already over; the next Guru Pushya Yoga is on 18 March 2027, listed on the 2027 page.
Which dates are Ravi Pushya Yoga in 2026?
4 Jan, 1 Feb, 1 Mar (till 8:34 AM), 1 Nov and 29 Nov (till 10:59 AM). Our clinic is normally closed on Sundays, so please call or WhatsApp to confirm before travelling.
What time should I give Suvarnaprashan on a Pushya day?
Any time while Pushya Nakshatra is running is accepted, and most families prefer the morning on an empty stomach. When Pushya starts in the evening (for example 28 Nov 2026, 12:50 PM start, or 25 Dec, 10:50 PM) bring your child the next morning while it is still running.
Are these dates the same everywhere in India?
The times are calculated for Ahmedabad (IST, Lahiri ayanamsa). Other panchangs can differ by a few minutes, and the date can differ by a day when Pushya spans two days — we list both days.
What if my child misses a Pushya day?
Nothing is lost. Suvarnaprashan is simply taken on the next Pushya Nakshatra, about 27 days later. Regularity matters more than a single date.
