Chennai panchang in simple words
On 5 December 2026, the sun rises in Chennai at 06:18 AM and sets at 05:41 PM. At sunrise the tithi is Krishna Dwadashi, which lasts till 12:51 AM, 6 Dec, after which Trayodashi begins. The Moon is in Chitra nakshatra (till 11:49 AM) and in Tula rashi.
Rahu Kaal runs from 09:08 AM to 10:34 AM, so it is best not to start new work in this window. For anything important, Abhijit Muhurat from 11:37 AM to 12:22 PM is a good time. The Hindu month is Margashirsha (Purnimanta) and the year is Vikram Samvat 2083.
