Panchang
Today is Chaturdashi of Shukla Paksha in Chaitra month, with the Moon in Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 8:53 am–10:28 am. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:37 am to 12:28 pm. The answers below are calculated for Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh and refresh every day.
On Saturday, 8 April 2028, the tithi in Ayodhya is Chaturdashi, from 10:34 pm (prev day) to 07:12 pm, followed by Purnima, from 07:12 pm to 03:57 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Chaitra (Amanta) / Chaitra (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Uttara Phalguni, from 04:57 pm (prev day) to 02:23 pm, then Hasta, from 02:23 pm to 11:52 am (next day) on Saturday, 8 April 2028 in Ayodhya. The Moon is in Virgo and the Sun in Pisces.
Rahu Kaal in Ayodhya today (Saturday) runs from 08:53 am to 10:28 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, 8 April 2028, sunrise is at 05:44 am and sunset at 06:22 pm; moonrise is at 05:21 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Ayodhya today is from 11:37 am to 12:28 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 07:18 am–08:53 am; Labh 01:37 pm–03:12 pm; Amrit 03:12 pm–04:47 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.
