Panchang
Today is Chaturthi of Shukla Paksha in Bhadrapada month, with the Moon in Hasta Nakshatra. It is observed as Ganesh Chaturthi and Vinayaka Chaturthi. Rahu Kaal: 12:03 pm–1:40 pm. The answers below are calculated for Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh and refresh every day.
On Wednesday, 23 August 2028, the tithi in Ayodhya is Chaturthi, from 05:10 am to 01:56 am (next day), followed by Panchami, from 01:56 am (next day) to 11:10 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada (Amanta) / Bhadrapada (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Hasta, from 01:45 am to 11:16 pm, then Chitra, from 11:16 pm to 09:14 pm (next day) on Wednesday, 23 August 2028 in Ayodhya. The Moon is in Virgo and the Sun in Leo.
Rahu Kaal in Ayodhya today (Wednesday) runs from 12:03 pm to 01:40 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, 23 August 2028, sunrise is at 05:36 am and sunset at 06:30 pm; moonrise is at 08:33 am. 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 05:36 am–07:13 am; Amrit 07:13 am–08:50 am; Shubh 10:26 am–12:03 pm; Labh 04:53 pm–06:30 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.
