Shukla Chaturthi tithi, Ardra nakshatra · Wednesday · Madhya Pradesh (23.1765°, 75.7885°)
Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Partial (2/4)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 Ujjain (23.1765°, 75.7885°)'s own sunrise — 05:44 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.
