Panchang for Puri — 16 July 2026

Shukla Dwitiya tithi, Ashlesha nakshatra · Thursday · Odisha (19.8135°, 85.8312°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Shuddha (Pure)Vikram Samvat 2083 (Siddharthi)Shaka Samvat 1948Mithuna (Jyeshtha)

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 Puri (19.8135°, 85.8312°)'s own sunrise — 05:16 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.
