Panchang for Lucknow — 22 May 2026

Shukla Shashthi tithi, Ashlesha nakshatra · Friday · Uttar Pradesh (26.8467°, 80.9462°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Partial (3/4)Vikram Samvat 2083 (Siddharthi)Shaka Samvat 1948Vrishabha (Vaishakha)

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 Lucknow (26.8467°, 80.9462°)'s own sunrise — 05:15 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.
