Panchang for Ludhiana — 15 December 2026

Shukla Shashthi tithi, Dhanishtha nakshatra · Tuesday · Punjab (30.901°, 75.8573°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Shuddha (Pure)Vikram Samvat 2083 (Siddharthi)Shaka Samvat 1948Vrischika (Kartika)

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 Ludhiana (30.901°, 75.8573°)'s own sunrise — 07:16 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.
