Panchang for Chennai — 24 July 2026

Shukla Dashami tithi, Anuradha nakshatra · Friday · Tamil Nadu (13.0827°, 80.2707°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Shuddha (Pure)Vikram Samvat 2083 (Siddharthi)Shaka Samvat 1948Karka (Ashadha)

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 Chennai (13.0827°, 80.2707°)'s own sunrise — 05:52 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.
