Panchang
Today is Shashthi of Shukla Paksha in Bhadrapada month, with the Moon in Swati Nakshatra. It is observed as Balarama Jayanti. Rahu Kaal: 10:26 am–12:03 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:37 am to 12:28 pm. The answers below are calculated for Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh and refresh every day.
On Friday, 25 August 2028, the tithi in Ayodhya is Shashthi, from 11:10 pm (prev day) to 09:01 pm, followed by Saptami, from 09:01 pm to 07:33 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada (Amanta) / Bhadrapada (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Swati, from 09:15 pm (prev day) to 07:49 pm, then Vishakha, from 07:49 pm to 07:04 pm (next day) on Friday, 25 August 2028 in Ayodhya. The Moon is in Libra and the Sun in Leo.
Rahu Kaal in Ayodhya today (Friday) runs from 10:26 am to 12:03 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 Friday, 25 August 2028, sunrise is at 05:37 am and sunset at 06:28 pm; moonrise is at 10:45 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Ayodhya today is from 11:37 am to 12:28 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Labh 07:13 am–08:50 am; Amrit 08:50 am–10:26 am; Shubh 12:03 pm–01:39 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.
