Panchang for Ranchi — 17 September 2026

Shukla Shashthi tithi, Anuradha nakshatra · Thursday · Jharkhand (23.3441°, 85.3096°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Shuddha (Pure)Vikram Samvat 2083 (Siddharthi)Shaka Samvat 1948Simha (Shravana)

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 Ranchi (23.3441°, 85.3096°)'s own sunrise — 05:36 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.
