Panchang
Today is Dwadashi of Shukla Paksha in Vaishakha month, with the Moon in Hasta Nakshatra. It is observed as Shukla Pradosh Vrat. Rahu Kaal: 8:38 am–10:18 am. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:31 am to 12:24 pm. The answers below are calculated for Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh and refresh every day.
On Saturday, 6 May 2028, the tithi in Ayodhya is Dwadashi, from 11:34 am (prev day) to 08:49 am, followed by Trayodashi, from 08:49 am to 06:06 am (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Vaishakha (Amanta) / Vaishakha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Hasta, from 11:06 pm (prev day) to 09:08 pm, then Chitra, from 09:08 pm to 07:17 pm (next day) on Saturday, 6 May 2028 in Ayodhya. The Moon is in Virgo and the Sun in Aries.
Rahu Kaal in Ayodhya today (Saturday) runs from 08:38 am to 10:18 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, 6 May 2028, sunrise is at 05:19 am and sunset at 06:36 pm; moonrise is at 04:09 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Ayodhya today is from 11:31 am to 12:24 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 06:58 am–08:38 am; Labh 01:37 pm–03:17 pm; Amrit 03:17 pm–04:57 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.
