Panchang
Today is Trayodashi of Shukla Paksha in Vaishakha month, with the Moon in Chitra Nakshatra. It is observed as Narasimha Jayanti. Rahu Kaal: 3:20 pm–5:01 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:30 am to 12:24 pm. The answers below are calculated for Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh and refresh every day.
On Tuesday, 18 May 2027, the tithi in Ayodhya is Trayodashi, from 04:29 pm (prev day) to 04:04 pm, followed by Chaturdashi, from 04:04 pm to 04:04 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Vaishakha (Amanta) / Vaishakha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Chitra, from 11:29 am (prev day) to 11:43 am, then Swati, from 11:43 am to 12:19 pm (next day) on Tuesday, 18 May 2027 in Ayodhya. The Moon is in Libra and the Sun in Taurus.
Rahu Kaal in Ayodhya today (Tuesday) runs from 03:20 pm to 05:01 pm. It is a period of about 90 minutes that is traditionally avoided for starting new ventures; its timing depends on the weekday and on local sunrise and sunset, so it differs from city to city.
In Ayodhya on Tuesday, 18 May 2027, sunrise is at 05:12 am and sunset at 06:43 pm; moonrise is at 04:53 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Ayodhya today is from 11:30 am to 12:24 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Labh 10:16 am–11:57 am; Amrit 11:57 am–01:39 pm; Shubh 03:20 pm–05:01 pm. Choghadiya divides the day and the night into eight parts each; Amrit, Shubh and Labh are the auspicious ones.
The Panchang is computed for the exact coordinates of Ayodhya (26.79°N, 82.20°E) from the real positions of the Sun and Moon. Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana are shown with their start and end times, in Ayodhya's local time.
“Panchang” means “five limbs”: tithi (lunar day), vaar (weekday), nakshatra (the lunar mansion the Moon occupies), yoga (a Sun–Moon angular combination) and karana (half of a tithi). Together with Rahu Kaal, Abhijit Muhurat and choghadiya, they are used to choose favourable times for prayers, travel and new beginnings.
