Panchang for Sydney — 21 October 2026

Shukla Dashami tithi, Dhanishtha nakshatra · Wednesday · NSW (-33.8688°, 151.2093°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Partial (3/4)Vikram Samvat 2083 (Siddharthi)Shaka Samvat 1948Tula (Ashvina)

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 — 06:07 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.
