What is my birth Nakshatra. Some websites mention Bharani some Kritika. Which one is correct?

Your Nakshatra is Krittika, the first nakshatra.

It depends what Ayanamsa is being used. I use N.C Lahiri and according to that your Nakshatra is Krittika.

Thank you

You are most welcome.

The panchaang for the given day shows Bharani till 4:36pm.. So even in that case the Nakshatra will be Kritika?

Please have a read through this, it will give you a basic idea why there is a difference : Why Your Planetary Positions and Transits Don’t Match.

Particularly the paragraph under the heading Ayanamsa Calculation.
