The Sankalpam (ritual declaration) and Panchangam (Hindu almanac) for Thursday, 3 September 2026, with panchanga timings referenced to Hyderabad. A Sankalpam is the intent recited before Sandhyavandanam and other pujas, stating the time and place of the rite.

Note: the sankalpam below is a nishkama (desireless) form learned from elders and gurus. Adapt the place-name and method to your own location and the tradition taught by your guru. Panchanga timings are computed for Hyderabad and may shift slightly by location.
