The five limbs of the day
A panchang ("five limbs") describes a day by tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and weekday. Each is read at Sydney's sunrise, with the time it ends.
Tithi (lunar day)
Purnima · Shukla
until 3:11 PM · then Pratipada
Purnima (full moon) — peak, luminous energy. Powerful for spiritual practice, completion and generosity, though emotions run high.
Nakshatra (Moon's star)
Ashwini
until 11:11 PM · then Bharani
The Moon rides Ashwini today: fast healer, first out the gate, allergic to waiting.
Yoga (Sun + Moon)
Vajra
until 7:47 PM · then Siddhi
Vajra is one of the tenser yogas — hold off on anything important and keep to routine and care.
Karana (half a tithi)
Bava
until 3:11 PM · then Balava until 1:54 AM, Oct 27, Kaulava
Bava is a favourable working karana — good for steady, productive activity.
Vara (weekday)
Monday
Moon's day
Monday. Ruled by the Moon — favours emotions, home, water, travel and gentle new starts. A soft, receptive day.

How these times are worked out
Sunrise and sunset are computed for Sydney's coordinates (33.87°S, 151.21°E), with the Sun's upper edge on the horizon. Every window on this page is counted from them, which is why Sydney's times differ from any other city's.
The tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana come from the sidereal (Lahiri) positions of the Sun and Moon, the system Indian almanacs use. End times are cut to the minute, the way printed panchangs show them.
The page refreshes every few minutes, and the day turns over at midnight Sydney time. For another date or a place not listed, use the Panchang tool.
Questions people ask
What is today's tithi in Sydney?
At sunrise in Sydney on Monday, 26 October 2026 the tithi (lunar day) is Purnima of Shukla Paksha, until 3:11 PM. The tithi is the Moon's distance from the Sun in steps of 12 degrees, so it can change at any hour of the day.
Which nakshatra is it today?
The Moon is in Ashwini nakshatra at sunrise, until 11:11 PM (Sydney time). A nakshatra is one of the 27 star segments the Moon passes through, about one a day.
What time is Rahu Kaal in Sydney today?
On Monday, 26 October 2026, Rahu Kaal in Sydney runs from 7:41 AM to 9:20 AM (GMT+11). It is one of eight equal parts of the daytime, from sunrise (6:01 AM) to sunset (7:17 PM), and which part it takes depends on the weekday. Almanacs avoid starting anything new in it.
What are the good times today in Sydney?
Abhijit Muhurta 12:13 PM to 1:06 PM; Amrit Kaal 4:29 PM to 5:59 PM. For hour-by-hour timing, see the choghadiya for Sydney.
Why does Sydney need its own panchang?
Every window here is counted from Sydney's own sunrise and sunset, which move with latitude, longitude and season. A city a few hundred kilometres away can be several minutes apart, and the end times of the tithi and nakshatra are shown in Sydney's local time.
