Panchang for Shirdi — 18 August 2026

Shukla Shashthi tithi, Swati nakshatra · Tuesday · Maharashtra (19.7668°, 74.4773°)

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 Shirdi (19.7668°, 74.4773°)'s own sunrise — 06:13 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.
