Panchang for Bhubaneswar — 18 October 2026

Shukla Saptami tithi, Purva Ashadha nakshatra · Sunday · Odisha (20.2961°, 85.8245°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Shuddha (Pure)Vikram Samvat 2083 (Siddharthi)Shaka Samvat 1948Tula (Ashvina)

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 Bhubaneswar (20.2961°, 85.8245°)'s own sunrise — 05:42 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.
