Panchang for Kanpur — 16 October 2026

Shukla Shashthi tithi, Jyeshtha nakshatra · Friday · Uttar Pradesh (26.4499°, 80.3319°)

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

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 Kanpur (26.4499°, 80.3319°)'s own sunrise — 06:08 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.
