At sunrise (06:13 IST) the tithi in Kochi is Shukla Dashami. It lasts until 14:12, after which Shukla Ekadashi begins. A tithi is one of 30 lunar days, each the time the Moon takes to gain 12 degrees on the Sun.
The Moon is in Dhanishta nakshatra at sunrise on 21 Oct 2026 and stays there until 19:47, then moves into Shatabhisha. The Moon is in Makara (Capricorn) rashi.

Panchang means five limbs: tithi (lunar day), vara (weekday), nakshatra (the Moon's lunar mansion), yoga (from the combined longitude of Sun and Moon) and karana (half a tithi). Each is read at local sunrise for the day.
It is Ashwin, Shukla paksha, in Vikram Samvat 2083 (Shaka 1948). North Indian calendars count months purnimanta (ending on the full moon); much of South and West India counts amanta (ending on the new moon), so the month name can differ in the dark fortnight.
