Panchang for Chandigarh — 26 January 2026

Shukla Ashtami tithi, Ashwini nakshatra · Monday · Chandigarh (30.7333°, 76.7794°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Partial (3/4)Vikram Samvat 2083 (Siddharthi)Shaka Samvat 1948Makara (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 Chandigarh (30.7333°, 76.7794°)'s own sunrise — 07:17 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.
