Panchang for Abu Dhabi — 17 October 2026

Shukla Saptami tithi, Mula nakshatra · Saturday · (24.4539°, 54.3773°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Shuddha (Pure)Vikram Samvat 2083 (Siddharthi)Shaka Samvat 1948Kanya (Bhadrapada)

A pañcāṅga is the day's five limbs — tithi, vāra, nakṣatra, yoga and karaṇa. All five come from the real positions of the Sun and Moon and change through the day, so they are reckoned from Abu Dhabi (24.4539°, 54.3773°)'s own sunrise — 06:21 AM here today rather than from a national average. Below are today's five with the time each ends, and then the day's auspicious and inauspicious windows.
