What is Panchang?+
Panchang(literally "five limbs") is the traditional Hindu calendar and almanac. It consists of five elements: Tithi (lunar day), Nakshatra (lunar mansion), Yoga (luni-solar combination), Karana (half of tithi), and Vara (weekday). It is used daily to determine auspicious timings for rituals, ceremonies, and important activities.
The Tithiis calculated from the angular distance between the Sun and Moon. Each 12 degrees of separation equals one tithi, giving 30 tithis in a lunar month — 15 in the waxing phase (Shukla Paksha) and 15 in the waning phase (Krishna Paksha).
Checking the daily panchang is an integral part of Hindu tradition. It helps in selecting muhurtas (auspicious moments) for starting new ventures, performing puja, fasting on specific tithis like Ekadashi, and understanding the planetary influences of the day.

Shimla Panchang — शिमला पंचांग
State
Himachal Pradesh
Sunrise Range
4:55–7:25 AM
Coordinates
31.10°N, 77.17°E
Shimla, Himachal Pradesh's capital and former British summer capital, has one of India's widest sunrise variations: 4:55 AM in June to 7:25 AM in December. Jakhu Temple (dedicated to Lord Hanuman, 2455m above sea level) and Tara Devi Temple are the city's sacred landmarks. Shimla's apple orchards and tourism economy are tied to seasonal festivals like Dussehra and Lohri. High altitude means longer twilights — panchanga calculations are especially valuable here.

Five Elements of Shimla Panchang
The traditional Panchang (पंचांग, meaning “five limbs”) comprises five essential elements that determine auspiciousness for any activity in Shimla:
Tithi (तिथि)
Lunar day — the angular relationship between Sun and Moon. 30 Tithis per lunar month.
Nakshatra (नक्षत्र)
Lunar mansion — the constellation the Moon occupies. 27 Nakshatras in the lunar zodiac.
Yoga (योग)
Combination of Sun and Moon longitudes. 27 Yogas from Vishkambha to Vaidhriti.
Karana (करण)
Half-Tithi — there are 11 Karanas, cycling through 60 Karanas in a lunar month.
Vara (वार)
Day of the week, each ruled by a planet (Sun=Sunday through Saturn=Saturday).
Shimla Festivals & Panchang
Shimla's major festivals — Dussehra (Kullu Dussehra), Lohri, Navratri— are calculated using the Hindu lunisolar calendar. Festival dates change each year because the lunar calendar drifts against the solar calendar. The Panchang above shows today's Tithi and Nakshatra. For complete annual festival almanacs with specific timings for Shimla, use the Ishvaram Jyotish app.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is today's Panchang calculated for Shimla?
The Panchang for Shimla is calculated using Swiss Ephemeris with Shimla's exact coordinates (Himachal Pradesh, latitude/longitude). Sunrise in Shimla ranges from 4:55–7:25 AM seasonally, which affects the start of each Tithi. The Panchang shows today's Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana, and planetary positions — all calibrated to Shimla's local time.
What is today's auspicious Muhurat in Shimla?
Auspicious muhurtas in Shimla depend on today's Tithi, Nakshatra, and Choghadiya periods. The Panchang above shows planetary positions and the current Tithi. For specific muhurtas (Vivah, Griha Pravesh, Vyapar, etc.), combine the Panchang data with the Choghadiya calculator — both are available for Shimla on this site.
Why are Shimla's Panchang timings different from other cities?
Panchang timings vary because they are based on actual astronomical observations for a specific location. Shimla's sunrise (4:55–7:25 AM), longitude, and latitude determine the precise start and end times of Tithis, Nakshatras, and Yogas. A Shimla Panchang uses the city's actual coordinates rather than a single standard Indian time.
When is Dussehra (Kullu Dussehra) in Shimla in 2025–2026?
Dussehra (Kullu Dussehra) dates are determined by the Hindu lunisolar calendar and are the same across India, though local observance customs vary. The Panchang above shows today's Tithi and Nakshatra, which you can use to track approaching festivals. For annual festival calendars, the Ishvaram Jyotish app provides complete Indian festival almanacs with Shimla-specific timing where relevant.
