Panchang for Kochi — 26 December 2025

Shukla Shashthi tithi, Shatabhisha nakshatra · Friday · Kerala (9.9312°, 76.2673°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Shuddha (Pure)Vikram Samvat 2082 (Kalayukti)Shaka Samvat 1947Dhanu (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 Kochi (9.9312°, 76.2673°)'s own sunrise — 06:39 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.
