Panchang for Los Angeles — 17 February 2027

Shukla Dwadashi tithi, Ardra nakshatra · Wednesday · CA (34.0522°, -118.2437°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Shuddha (Pure)Vikram Samvat 2084 (Raudri)Shaka Samvat 1949Kumbha (Magha)

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 — 06:35 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.
