Vrat and festivals on this day
Chennai panchang in simple words
On 17 November 2026, the sun rises in Chennai at 06:08 AM and sets at 05:39 PM. At sunrise the tithi is Shukla Ashtami, which lasts till 06:04 AM, 18 Nov, after which Navami begins. The Moon is in Dhanishtha nakshatra (till 04:34 AM, 18 Nov) and in Makara rashi.
Rahu Kaal runs from 02:46 PM to 04:13 PM, so it is best not to start new work in this window. For anything important, Abhijit Muhurat from 11:31 AM to 12:17 PM is a good time. The Hindu month is Kartik (Purnimanta) and the year is Vikram Samvat 2083.
