Panchang for Chicago — 11 January 2027

Shukla Chaturthi tithi, Dhanishtha nakshatra · Monday · IL (41.8781°, -87.6298°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Partial (2/4)Vikram Samvat 2084 (Raudri)Shaka Samvat 1949Dhanu (Margashirsha)

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 Chicago (41.8781°, -87.6298°)'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.
