Panchang for Indore — 17 August 2026

Shukla Panchami tithi, Chitra nakshatra · Monday · Madhya Pradesh (22.7196°, 75.8577°)

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 Indore (22.7196°, 75.8577°)'s own sunrise — 06:04 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.
