Panchang
Today is Pratipada of Shukla Paksha in Bhadrapada month, with the Moon in Magha Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 7:12 am–8:49 am. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:38 am to 12:29 pm. The answers below are calculated for Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh and refresh every day.
On Monday, 21 August 2028, the tithi in Ayodhya is Pratipada, from 04:14 pm (prev day) to 12:30 pm, followed by Dwitiya, from 12:30 pm to 08:45 am (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada (Amanta) / Bhadrapada (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Magha, from 10:23 am (prev day) to 07:30 am, then Purva Phalguni, from 07:30 am to 04:34 am (next day) on Monday, 21 August 2028 in Ayodhya. The Moon is in Leo and the Sun in Leo.
Rahu Kaal in Ayodhya today (Monday) runs from 07:12 am to 08:49 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, 21 August 2028, sunrise is at 05:35 am and sunset at 06:32 pm; moonrise is at 06:19 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Ayodhya today is from 11:38 am to 12:29 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Amrit 05:35 am–07:12 am; Shubh 08:49 am–10:26 am; Labh 03:18 pm–04:55 pm; Amrit 04:55 pm–06:32 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.
