Panchang for Coimbatore — 18 December 2026

Shukla Navami tithi, Uttara Bhadrapada nakshatra · Friday · Tamil Nadu (11.0168°, 76.9558°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Shuddha (Pure)Vikram Samvat 2083 (Siddharthi)Shaka Samvat 1948Dhanu (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 Coimbatore (11.0168°, 76.9558°)'s own sunrise — 06:34 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.
