Panchang for Thiruvananthapuram — 24 August 2026

Shukla Dwadashi tithi, Purva Ashadha nakshatra · Monday · Kerala (8.5241°, 76.9366°)

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 Thiruvananthapuram (8.5241°, 76.9366°)'s own sunrise — 06:14 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.
