New Delhi, August 4: The Panchang holds significant importance in Hinduism, guiding individuals on auspicious timings for various activities such as rituals, travel, and investments. It is based on the positions of the sun, moon, and other celestial bodies.
On August 5, 2026 (Wednesday), the Krishna Paksha Saptami Tithi will last until 8:42 PM, after which the Ashtami Tithi will commence. This day is considered highly beneficial for worshipping Lord Ganesh, Goddess Mahalaxmi, and Lord Shiva, especially during the month of Sawan.
Sunrise will occur at 6:03 AM and sunset at 7:02 PM. The moon will rise at 11:14 PM and set the following day at 12:56 PM. According to the Panchang, the sun will be positioned in the Ashlesha Nakshatra while the moon will remain in the Ashwini Nakshatra until 9:17 PM, after which the Bharani Nakshatra will begin.
On this day, Harshan Yoga will not be present, but Shool Yoga will be effective until 5:30 PM, followed by Gand Yoga. The Abhijit Muhurat, considered the most auspicious time of the day, will be from 12:00 PM to 12:53 PM. The Amrit Kaal will be from 2:17 PM to 3:50 PM.
