Panchang for Sydney — 8 January 2026

Krishna Panchami tithi, Purva Phalguni nakshatra · Thursday · NSW (-33.8688°, 151.2093°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Shuddha (Pure)Vikram Samvat 2083 (Siddharthi)Shaka Samvat 1948Dhanu (Margashirsha)

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 Sydney (-33.8688°, 151.2093°)'s own sunrise — 05:53 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.
