Panchang
Today is Navami of Shukla Paksha in Vaishakha month, with the Moon in Magha Nakshatra. It is observed as Sita Navami. Rahu Kaal: 11:58 am–1:37 pm. The answers below are calculated for Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh and refresh every day.
On Wednesday, 3 May 2028, the tithi in Ayodhya is Navami, from 06:55 pm (prev day) to 04:42 pm, followed by Dashami, from 04:42 pm to 02:13 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Vaishakha (Amanta) / Vaishakha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Magha, from 04:24 am to 02:49 am (next day), then Purva Phalguni, from 02:49 am (next day) to 01:01 am (next day) on Wednesday, 3 May 2028 in Ayodhya. The Moon is in Leo and the Sun in Aries.
Rahu Kaal in Ayodhya today (Wednesday) runs from 11:58 am to 01:37 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 Wednesday, 3 May 2028, sunrise is at 05:21 am and sunset at 06:35 pm; moonrise is at 12:58 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
There is no Abhijit Muhurat today (Wednesday). Traditionally it is not observed on Wednesdays.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Labh 05:21 am–07:00 am; Amrit 07:00 am–08:39 am; Shubh 10:18 am–11:58 am; Labh 04:56 pm–06:35 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.
