Panchang for Los Angeles — 18 December 2025

Krishna Chaturdashi tithi, Anuradha nakshatra · Thursday · CA (34.0522°, -118.2437°)

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 Los Angeles (34.0522°, -118.2437°)'s own sunrise — 06:53 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.
