Panchang for Varanasi — 28 August 2026

Shukla Purnima tithi, Shatabhisha nakshatra · Friday · Uttar Pradesh (25.3176°, 82.9739°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Shuddha (Pure)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 Varanasi (25.3176°, 82.9739°)'s own sunrise — 05:37 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.
