Panchang for Amritsar — 16 January 2027

Shukla Ashtami tithi, Ashwini nakshatra · Saturday · Punjab (31.634°, 74.8723°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Shuddha (Pure)Vikram Samvat 2084 (Raudri)Shaka Samvat 1949Makara (Pausha)

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 Amritsar (31.634°, 74.8723°)'s own sunrise — 07:30 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.
