Panchang in Shkodër, Shkodër County, Albania Sun 8 Nov 2026

Lakshmi Puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Amavasya runs from 06:58 on Sun 8 Nov to 08:02 on Mon 9 Nov, so only Sunday’s pradosha (16:27–19:15) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.

Lakshmi Puja muhurat: pradosha, 16:27–19:15. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 16:46 to 18:33.

Diwali: every date in Shkodër

The abhyanga bath is taken in arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. Chaturdashi runs from 06:18 on Sat 7 Nov to 06:58 on Sun 8 Nov, touching arunodaya on both mornings. The Nirnayasindhu takes the morning it holds more of: Sun 8 Nov. No text giving Narak Chaturdashi’s time was found; arunodaya is Tithika’s convention.

Narak Chaturdashi: every date in Shkodër

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 336°–348° is the 29th, Krishna Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:23 here. Trayodashi ended at 06:18 Sat, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 06:58, when the lead reaches 348°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 26 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Chaturdashi began at 06:18 Sat, before sunrise at 06:22 Sat, and ends at 06:58, after the next sunrise at 06:23. Both days read Chaturdashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Sat 7 Nov ran from sunset 16:28 Sat to sunrise 06:23, 13 h 55 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 55 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:23 to 16:27, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 15 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 16:27 to 06:24 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 44 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Swati spans 186°40′–200°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 186°40′. It leaves at 02:54 Mon, for Vishakha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 201.6° + 189.3° = 390.9°, one full turn and 30.9°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 26°40′–40°00′ is the 3rd, Ayushmana. It ends at 22:33, then Saubhagya.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Vishti and the second Shakuni. Vishti ended at 18:35 Sat, when the lead reached 342°; Shakuni runs until 06:58.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:23 to 06:24 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

An amanta month runs from new moon to new moon and takes its name from the rashi the Sun is in at the new moon that begins it: Kanya gives Ashwina. The Sun enters Tula on 17 Oct, inside the month. The next new moon, 9 Nov, finds it in Tula and begins Kartika.

A purnimanta month runs from full moon to full moon, so its waning half comes first. It shares its name with the amanta month that its second half falls in: the new moon of 9 Nov, with the Sun in Tula, begins Kartika. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Kartika here, and Ashwina in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 2026, 02:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 227.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
