Panchang for Singapore — 20 August 2026

Shukla Ashtami tithi, Vishakha nakshatra · Thursday · (1.3521°, 103.8198°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Partial (2/4)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 Singapore (1.3521°, 103.8198°)'s own sunrise — 07:03 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.
