Panchang
Today is Chaturdashi of Krishna Paksha in Kartika month, with the Moon in Hasta Nakshatra. It is observed as Diwali, Narak Chaturdashi, Darsha Amavasya and Tula Sankranti. Rahu Kaal: 2:38 pm–4:04 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:23 am to 12:09 pm. The answers below are calculated for Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh and refresh every day.
On Tuesday, 17 October 2028, the tithi in Ayodhya is Chaturdashi, from 03:46 pm (prev day) to 12:06 pm, followed by Amavasya, from 12:06 pm to 08:27 am (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Ashwin (Amanta) / Kartika (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Hasta, from 11:11 pm (prev day) to 08:16 pm, then Chitra, from 08:16 pm to 05:28 pm (next day) on Tuesday, 17 October 2028 in Ayodhya. The Moon is in Virgo and the Sun in Virgo.
Rahu Kaal in Ayodhya today (Tuesday) runs from 02:38 pm to 04:04 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 Tuesday, 17 October 2028, sunrise is at 06:01 am and sunset at 05:30 pm; moonrise is at 04:54 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Ayodhya today is from 11:23 am to 12:09 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Labh 10:20 am–11:46 am; Amrit 11:46 am–01:12 pm; Shubh 02:38 pm–04:04 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.
