Panchang — the five angas पञ्चाङ्ग

Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana and Vara with their end-times, plus the month and the Moon’s and Sun’s signs — computed for this city’s sunrise. Times after midnight use the traditional extended clock (e.g. 27:23 = 03:23 next morning).

Tithi: Dwadashiद्वादशीtill 24:52then Trayodashiत्रयोदशीtill 50:22
What this means
The lunar day. It is set by how far the Moon has pulled ahead of the Sun — each 12 degrees of separation is one tithi. The tithi shapes which activities the tradition favours, and it ends at the time shown, when the next one begins.

How we compute this panchang

Every time on this page is calculated from the actual positions of the Sun and Moon using the Swiss Ephemeris (the same high-precision astronomical engine used by professional astronomers), not from a printed almanac or a fixed table.

Sidereal zodiac, Lahiri ayanamsha — the standard used by the Indian government calendar (ayanamsha for this date: 24.2332°). All nakshatra, rashi, tithi and yoga boundaries follow from it.
Local true sunrise — muhurta windows (Rahu Kaal, Choghadiya, Hora, Abhijit and the rest) are measured from the true sunrise computed for Nashik's exact coordinates, so they are correct for your location, not a regional approximation.
Two month conventions — we show both the Amanta (new-moon-to-new-moon) and Purnimanta (full-moon-to-full-moon) lunar month, because different regions of India follow different ones; an Adhika (intercalary) month is marked when it occurs.

Significance and auspicious/inauspicious flags are drawn from classical texts (Muhurta Chintamani, Brihat Samhita, the Puranas and others) and cited inline — we never assert an effect a text does not state.

Choghadiya - Nashik, 5 December 2026

On Saturday, the 5th of December 2026, the Vedic calendar for those in Nashik carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. The morning light begins at 6:56 AM and dipping below the horizon at 5:53 PM, bringing 10 hours 57 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Dwadashi of the Krishna fortnight, and the nakshatra of the day is Chitra. Yoga for the day is Saubhagya, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-12-05. Pre-dawn, from 5:20 AM to 6:08 AM, is Brahma Muhurta: the period the Vedic tradition reserves for prayer, meditation, and study.

For those in Nashik, From 9:41 AM to 11:03 AM Rahu Kala is in force — the period to avoid for new endeavours. On Saturday the Disha Shool (directional affliction) is East; the classical recommendation is to delay East-facing departures. On the auspicious side, Shubh (8:18 AM–9:41 AM) is the top-quality choghadiya of the day. Chitra nakshatra is governed by Mars, grounding the cosmic calendar in the rhythms of this specific place and time.

Why is sunrise in Nashik on 5 December 2026 at 6:56 AM?
