Panchang for Madurai — 1 April 2026

Shukla Chaturdashi tithi, Uttara Phalguni nakshatra · Wednesday · Tamil Nadu (9.9252°, 78.1198°)

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

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 Madurai (9.9252°, 78.1198°)'s own sunrise — 06:15 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.
