Panchang for Toronto — 16 May 2026

Krishna Amavasya tithi, Bharani nakshatra · Saturday · Ontario (43.6532°, -79.3832°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Shuddha (Pure)Vikram Samvat 2083 (Siddharthi)Shaka Samvat 1948Vrishabha (Vaishakha)

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 Toronto (43.6532°, -79.3832°)'s own sunrise — 05:51 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.
