Panchang
Today is Tritiya of Shukla Paksha in Magha month, with the Moon in Dhanishta Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 12:11 pm–1:31 pm. The answers below are calculated for Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh and refresh every day.
On Wednesday, 17 January 2029, the tithi in Ayodhya is Tritiya, from 12:38 am to 02:15 am (next day), followed by Chaturthi, from 02:15 am (next day) to 04:18 am (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Magha (Amanta) / Magha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Dhanishta, from 06:08 pm (prev day) to 08:07 pm, then Shatabhisha, from 08:07 pm to 10:32 pm (next day) on Wednesday, 17 January 2029 in Ayodhya. The Moon is in Capricorn and the Sun in Capricorn.
Rahu Kaal in Ayodhya today (Wednesday) runs from 12:11 pm to 01:31 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 Wednesday, 17 January 2029, sunrise is at 06:50 am and sunset at 05:31 pm; moonrise is at 08:18 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
There is no Abhijit Muhurat today (Wednesday). Traditionally it is not observed on Wednesdays.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Labh 06:50 am–08:11 am; Amrit 08:11 am–09:31 am; Shubh 10:51 am–12:11 pm; Labh 04:11 pm–05:31 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.
