Panchang
Today is Ashtami of Krishna Paksha in Chaitra month, with the Moon in Mula Nakshatra. It is observed as Sheetala Ashtami. Rahu Kaal: 9:08 am–10:38 am. 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 Saturday, 18 March 2028, the tithi in Ayodhya is Ashtami, from 04:27 pm (prev day) to 05:31 pm, followed by Navami, from 05:31 pm to 07:18 pm (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Phalguna (Amanta) / Chaitra (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Mula, from 09:55 pm (prev day) to 11:43 pm, then Purva Ashadha, from 11:43 pm to 02:10 am (next day) on Saturday, 18 March 2028 in Ayodhya. The Moon is in Sagittarius and the Sun in Pisces.
Rahu Kaal in Ayodhya today (Saturday) runs from 09:08 am to 10:38 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 Saturday, 18 March 2028, sunrise is at 06:06 am and sunset at 06:11 pm; moonrise is at 12:57 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 07:37 am–09:08 am; Labh 01:39 pm–03:10 pm; Amrit 03:10 pm–04:41 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.
