Panchang for Rajkot — 31 December 2026

Krishna Ashtami tithi, Hasta nakshatra · Thursday · Gujarat (22.3039°, 70.8022°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Shuddha (Pure)Vikram Samvat 2083 (Siddharthi)Shaka Samvat 1948Dhanu (Margashirsha)

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 Rajkot (22.3039°, 70.8022°)'s own sunrise — 07:26 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.
