Panchang
Today is Navami of Krishna Paksha in Magha month, with the Moon in Vishakha Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 1:32 pm–2:52 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:50 am to 12:33 pm. The answers below are calculated for Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh and refresh every day.
On Thursday, 20 January 2028, the tithi in Ayodhya is Navami, from 12:29 pm (prev day) to 12:05 pm, followed by Dashami, from 12:05 pm to 12:17 pm (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Pausha (Amanta) / Magha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Vishakha, from 05:44 am to 06:22 am (next day), then Anuradha, from 06:22 am (next day) to 07:34 am (next day) on Thursday, 20 January 2028 in Ayodhya. The Moon is in Libra and the Sun in Capricorn.
Rahu Kaal in Ayodhya today (Thursday) runs from 01:32 pm to 02:52 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 Thursday, 20 January 2028, sunrise is at 06:50 am and sunset at 05:33 pm; moonrise is at 01:20 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Ayodhya today is from 11:50 am to 12:33 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 06:50 am–08:10 am; Labh 12:12 pm–01:32 pm; Amrit 01:32 pm–02:52 pm; Shubh 04:13 pm–05:33 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.
