Panchang for Rishikesh — 5 October 2026

Krishna Dashami tithi, Pushya nakshatra · Monday · Uttarakhand (30.0869°, 78.2676°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Shuddha (Pure)Vikram Samvat 2083 (Siddharthi)Shaka Samvat 1948Kanya (Bhadrapada)

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 Rishikesh (30.0869°, 78.2676°)'s own sunrise — 06:12 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.
