Panchang
Today is Purnima of Shukla Paksha in Vaishakha month, with the Moon in Swati Nakshatra. It is observed as Buddha Purnima and Vaishakha Purnima. Rahu Kaal: 6:57 am–8:37 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 Monday, 8 May 2028, the tithi in Ayodhya is Purnima, from 03:33 am to 01:19 am (next day), followed by Pratipada, from 01:19 am (next day) to 11:32 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Vaishakha (Amanta) / Vaishakha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Swati, from 07:17 pm (prev day) to 05:42 pm, then Vishakha, from 05:42 pm to 04:31 pm (next day) on Monday, 8 May 2028 in Ayodhya. The Moon is in Libra and the Sun in Aries.
Rahu Kaal in Ayodhya today (Monday) runs from 06:57 am to 08:37 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 Monday, 8 May 2028, sunrise is at 05:17 am and sunset at 06:38 pm; moonrise is at 06:21 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: Amrit 05:17 am–06:57 am; Shubh 08:37 am–10:17 am; Labh 03:17 pm–04:58 pm; Amrit 04:58 pm–06:38 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.
