Panchang for Kuala Lumpur — 17 August 2026

Shukla Panchami tithi, Hasta nakshatra · Monday · (3.139°, 101.6869°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Partial (2/4)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 Kuala Lumpur (3.139°, 101.6869°)'s own sunrise — 07:11 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.
