Panchang
Today is Panchami of Shukla Paksha in Bhadrapada month, with the Moon in Chitra Nakshatra. It is observed as Rishi Panchami. Rahu Kaal: 1:39 pm–3:16 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:37 am to 12:29 pm. The answers below are calculated for Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh and refresh every day.
On Thursday, 24 August 2028, the tithi in Ayodhya is Panchami, from 01:56 am to 11:10 pm, followed by Shashthi, from 11:10 pm to 09:01 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada (Amanta) / Bhadrapada (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Chitra, from 11:16 pm (prev day) to 09:15 pm, then Swati, from 09:15 pm to 07:49 pm (next day) on Thursday, 24 August 2028 in Ayodhya. The Moon is in Virgo and the Sun in Leo.
Rahu Kaal in Ayodhya today (Thursday) runs from 01:39 pm to 03:16 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 Thursday, 24 August 2028, sunrise is at 05:37 am and sunset at 06:29 pm; moonrise is at 09:39 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Ayodhya today is from 11:37 am to 12:29 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 05:37 am–07:13 am; Labh 12:03 pm–01:39 pm; Amrit 01:39 pm–03:16 pm; Shubh 04:52 pm–06:29 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.
