Panchang
Today is Tritiya of Shukla Paksha in Ashwin month, with the Moon in Chitra Nakshatra. It is observed as Vinayaka Chaturthi. Rahu Kaal: 1:25 pm–2:56 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:29 am to 12:18 pm. The answers below are calculated for Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh and refresh every day.
On Thursday, 21 September 2028, the tithi in Ayodhya is Tritiya, from 04:19 pm (prev day) to 01:01 pm, followed by Chaturthi, from 01:01 pm to 10:16 am (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Ashwin (Amanta) / Ashwin (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Chitra, from 09:18 am (prev day) to 06:38 am, then Swati, from 06:38 am to 04:29 am (next day) on Thursday, 21 September 2028 in Ayodhya. The Moon is in Libra and the Sun in Virgo.
Rahu Kaal in Ayodhya today (Thursday) runs from 01:25 pm to 02:56 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, 21 September 2028, sunrise is at 05:49 am and sunset at 05:58 pm; moonrise is at 08:27 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Ayodhya today is from 11:29 am to 12:18 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 05:49 am–07:20 am; Labh 11:53 am–01:25 pm; Amrit 01:25 pm–02:56 pm; Shubh 04:27 pm–05:58 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.
