The Hindu Panchang, also known as the Vedic Panchang, plays an important role in daily life by helping people identify auspicious and inauspicious timings. It is widely followed for planning religious rituals, important events, and daily activities. The Panchang is based on precise astronomical calculations and provides detailed information about time, planetary positions, lunar phases, and yogas.

According to the Hindu calendar, Friday, December 19, 2025, falls on the Amavasya Tithi of the Krishna Paksha in the Paush month. This lunar date will remain effective until 2:55 AM on December 20, after which the Pratipada Tithi will begin. On this day, the Moon will be positioned in Capricorn (Makara Rashi). Along with this, the rare combination of Ayushman Yoga and Vishakha Nakshatra will be present, making the day astrologically significant.

Below is a detailed Panchang for December 19, 2025, including auspicious timings, Rahu Kaal for major cities, and sunrise and sunset timings.

The Hindu Panchang is made up of five essential elements, which are known as its pillars. These include Tithi (lunar day), Nakshatra (constellation), Vaar (weekday), Yoga, and Karana. Together, these five components help determine the nature of the day and guide people in choosing the right time for religious ceremonies, fasts, travels, and other significant tasks.

Apart from this, the Panchang also provides details about Shubh Muhurat, Rahu Kaal, Abhijit Muhurat, planetary positions of the Sun and Moon, Hindu month, Paksha, as well as daily sunrise and sunset timings.
