Panchang for London — 24 December 2025

Shukla Chaturthi tithi, Dhanishtha nakshatra · Wednesday · England (51.5074°, -0.1278°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Partial (3/4)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 London (51.5074°, -0.1278°)'s own sunrise — 08:05 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.
