Panchang
Today is Dwitiya of Krishna Paksha in Kartika month, with the Moon in Ashwini Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 1:17 pm–2:46 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:25 am to 12:12 pm. The answers below are calculated for Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh and refresh every day.
On Thursday, 5 October 2028, the tithi in Ayodhya is Dwitiya, from 12:04 am to 01:59 am (next day), followed by Tritiya, from 01:59 am (next day) to 03:36 am (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Ashwin (Amanta) / Kartika (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Ashwini, from 12:28 am to 02:54 am (next day), then Bharani, from 02:54 am (next day) to 05:03 am (next day) on Thursday, 5 October 2028 in Ayodhya. The Moon is in Aries and the Sun in Virgo.
Rahu Kaal in Ayodhya today (Thursday) runs from 01:17 pm to 02:46 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, 5 October 2028, sunrise is at 05:55 am and sunset at 05:43 pm; moonrise is at 06:24 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Ayodhya today is from 11:25 am to 12:12 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 05:55 am–07:23 am; Labh 11:49 am–01:17 pm; Amrit 01:17 pm–02:46 pm; Shubh 04:14 pm–05:43 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.
