Panchang
Today is Shashthi of Shukla Paksha in Pausha month, with the Moon in Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 8:08 am–9:27 am. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:44 am to 12:26 pm. The answers below are calculated for Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh and refresh every day.
On Monday, 3 January 2028, the tithi in Ayodhya is Shashthi, from 01:41 pm (prev day) to 04:13 pm, followed by Saptami, from 04:13 pm to 06:20 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Pausha (Amanta) / Pausha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Purva Bhadrapada, from 07:22 pm (prev day) to 10:15 pm, then Uttara Bhadrapada, from 10:15 pm to 12:42 am (next day) on Monday, 3 January 2028 in Ayodhya. The Moon is in Aquarius and the Sun in Sagittarius.
Rahu Kaal in Ayodhya today (Monday) runs from 08:08 am to 09:27 am. 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 Monday, 3 January 2028, sunrise is at 06:50 am and sunset at 05:20 pm; moonrise is at 10:34 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Ayodhya today is from 11:44 am to 12:26 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Amrit 06:50 am–08:08 am; Shubh 09:27 am–10:46 am; Labh 02:43 pm–04:01 pm; Amrit 04:01 pm–05:20 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.
