Panchang for Ayodhya — 17 November 2026

Shukla Ashtami tithi, Dhanishtha nakshatra · Tuesday · Uttar Pradesh (26.7922°, 82.1998°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Partial (3/4)Vikram Samvat 2083 (Siddharthi)Shaka Samvat 1948Vrischika (Kartika)

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 Ayodhya (26.7922°, 82.1998°)'s own sunrise — 06:22 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.
