Panchang for Pune — 21 May 2026

Shukla Panchami tithi, Pushya nakshatra · Thursday · Maharashtra (18.5204°, 73.8567°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Shuddha (Pure)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 Pune (18.5204°, 73.8567°)'s own sunrise — 05:59 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.
