Panchang for Mumbai — 18 November 2026

Shukla Ashtami tithi, Shatabhisha nakshatra · Wednesday · Maharashtra (19.076°, 72.8777°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Partial (3/4)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 Mumbai (19.076°, 72.8777°)'s own sunrise — 06:47 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.
