Panchang for 21 July 2026: Today, Tuesday, 21 July 2026, marks the Ashtami Tithi (eighth day) of the Shukla Paksha (waxing phase of the moon) in the month of Ashadha. The monthly Durga Ashtami fast is observed on this day. The convergence of Durga Ashtami and a Tuesday creates an auspicious occasion to worship both Goddess Durga and Lord Hanuman. It is believed that observing the fast and performing rituals during this auspicious alignment invokes the blessings of both Adi Shakti (Goddess Durga) and Bajrangbali (Lord Hanuman), thereby fulfilling the devotee’s wishes. Bhadra will prevail for a portion of the day today; in Vedic astrology, Bhadra is not considered favorable for auspicious or ceremonial activities. Check the Panchang below for the auspicious and inauspicious timings for worship.
