Panchang
Today is Shashthi of Krishna Paksha in Chaitra month, with the Moon in Anuradha Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 1:40 pm–3:10 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:45 am to 12:33 pm. The answers below are calculated for Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh and refresh every day.
On Thursday, 16 March 2028, the tithi in Ayodhya is Shashthi, from 04:52 pm (prev day) to 04:13 pm, followed by Saptami, from 04:13 pm to 04:27 pm (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Phalguna (Amanta) / Chaitra (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Anuradha, from 08:45 pm (prev day) to 08:54 pm, then Jyeshtha, from 08:54 pm to 09:55 pm (next day) on Thursday, 16 March 2028 in Ayodhya. The Moon is in Scorpio and the Sun in Pisces.
Rahu Kaal in Ayodhya today (Thursday) runs from 01:40 pm to 03:10 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, 16 March 2028, sunrise is at 06:09 am and sunset at 06:10 pm; moonrise is at 12:01 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Ayodhya today is from 11:45 am to 12:33 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 06:09 am–07:39 am; Labh 12:09 pm–01:40 pm; Amrit 01:40 pm–03:10 pm; Shubh 04:40 pm–06:10 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.
