Panchang for Rishikesh — 9 August 2027

Shukla Ashtami tithi, Swati nakshatra · Monday · Uttarakhand (30.0869°, 78.2676°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Partial (2/4)Vikram Samvat 2084 (Raudri)Shaka Samvat 1949Karka (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 Rishikesh (30.0869°, 78.2676°)'s own sunrise — 05:40 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.
