Saturday, 18 April 2026 corresponds to 5 Chithirai in the Tamil calendar. The day falls on Saturday (சனி) under Valar Pirai (Shukla Paksha). There are no major festival observances on this date — it is a routine calendar day.
The tithi is Pratipada — the first day of the lunar fortnight — used for fresh starts, not heavyweight muhurthams. The moon is in Bharani nakshatra, which is fierce — better suited to finishing pending work than starting new. The yoga is Priti and the karana is Bava.
Saturday is ruled by Saturn — mixed; used for long-term work, iron / heavy goods and discipline-related commitments.
Sunrise in Chennai is approximately 06:00 and sunset around 18:15. Times shift slightly for Madurai, Coimbatore and Tiruchirappalli — switch the city above for local timings.
Times above are computed using a simplified Meeus astronomical model with Lahiri ayanamsa, calibrated for Chennai. Local panchangam from your nearest temple may show differences of a few minutes.
