September 26, 2024 Panchang: Navami Tithi Shradh, Rahukal, Auspicious Timings & Sunrise-Sunset

Daily Hindu Panchang for 26 September 2024

Today, September 26, 2024, marks the Navami Tithi of the Krishna Paksha in the month of Ashwin. This auspicious day features a conjunction of the Punarvasu Nakshatra and the Parigha Yoga—elements that influence spiritual and astrological practices in Hindu tradition. It is also a significant date for performing Shradh for the ancestors on the Navami Tithi.

Understanding the Hindu Panchang, often referred to as the Vedic Panchang, is crucial for accurate time calculations in daily rituals and ceremonies. The Panchang comprises five fundamental components: Tithi (lunar day), Nakshatra (lunar mansion), Vaar (day of the week), Yoga (psychic combinations), and Karan (half of a Tithi). Each of these elements plays a vital role in determining the auspiciousness of the day and the timing for various rituals.
