Varanasi panchang in simple words
On 8 December 2026, the sun rises in Varanasi at 06:31 AM and sets at 05:08 PM. At sunrise the tithi is Krishna Amavasya, which lasts till 06:21 AM, 9 Dec, after which Pratipada begins. The Moon is in Anuradha nakshatra (till 06:16 PM) and in Vrishchika rashi.
Rahu Kaal runs from 02:29 PM to 03:49 PM, so it is best not to start new work in this window. For anything important, Abhijit Muhurat from 11:29 AM to 12:11 PM is a good time. The Hindu month is Margashirsha (Purnimanta) and the year is Vikram Samvat 2083.
