Panchang for Raipur — 16 August 2026

Shukla Chaturthi tithi, Hasta nakshatra · Sunday · Chhattisgarh (21.2514°, 81.6296°)

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

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 Raipur (21.2514°, 81.6296°)'s own sunrise — 05:42 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.
