Tuesday, 18 August 2026 corresponds to 5 Avani in the Tamil calendar. The day falls on Tuesday (செவ்வாய்) under Valar Pirai (Shukla Paksha). Notable observances on this date: சஷ்டி விரதம்.
The tithi is Shashthi — auspicious for vows to Murugan; Skanda Sashti falls on a Shashthi in Karthigai. The moon is in Swati nakshatra, which is movable — good for travel, contracts and trade. The yoga is Shukla and the karana is Taitila.
Tuesday is ruled by Mars — generally avoided for soft beginnings; used for surgery, sports and disputes.
Sunrise in Chennai is approximately 05:58 and sunset around 18:17. 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.
