Panchang for London — 2 May 2026

Krishna Pratipada tithi, Vishakha nakshatra · Saturday · England (51.5074°, -0.1278°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Shuddha (Pure)Vikram Samvat 2083 (Siddharthi)Shaka Samvat 1948Mesha (Chaitra)

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 — 05:30 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.
