Panchang for Kochi — 24 December 2026

Shukla Purnima tithi, Ardra nakshatra · Thursday · Kerala (9.9312°, 76.2673°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Partial (3/4)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 Kochi (9.9312°, 76.2673°)'s own sunrise — 06:38 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.
