Panchang for Surat — 19 August 2026

Shukla Saptami tithi, Swati nakshatra · Wednesday · Gujarat (21.1702°, 72.8311°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Partial (3/4)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 Surat (21.1702°, 72.8311°)'s own sunrise — 06:18 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.
