Panchang for Dehradun — 17 May 2026

Shukla Pratipada tithi, Krittika nakshatra · Sunday · Uttarakhand (30.3165°, 78.0322°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Partial (3/4)Vikram Samvat 2083 (Siddharthi)Shaka Samvat 1948Vrishabha (Vaishakha)

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 Dehradun (30.3165°, 78.0322°)'s own sunrise — 05:23 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.
