Panchang for Nagpur — 18 April 2026

Shukla Pratipada tithi, Ashwini nakshatra · Saturday · Maharashtra (21.1458°, 79.0882°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Shuddha (Pure)Vikram Samvat 2083 (Siddharthi)Shaka Samvat 1948Mesha (Chaitra)

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 Nagpur (21.1458°, 79.0882°)'s own sunrise — 05:52 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.
