Panchang
Today is Ashtami of Shukla Paksha in Vaishakha month, with the Moon in Magha Nakshatra. It is observed as Masik Durgashtami. Rahu Kaal: 6:52 am–8:34 am. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:30 am to 12:25 pm. The answers below are calculated for Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh and refresh every day.
On Monday, 21 May 2029, the tithi in Ayodhya is Ashtami, from 10:30 pm (prev day) to 08:54 pm, followed by Navami, from 08:54 pm to 06:46 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Vaishakha (Amanta) / Vaishakha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Magha, from 11:02 pm (prev day) to 10:10 pm, then Purva Phalguni, from 10:10 pm to 08:46 pm (next day) on Monday, 21 May 2029 in Ayodhya. The Moon is in Leo and the Sun in Taurus.
Rahu Kaal in Ayodhya today (Monday) runs from 06:52 am to 08:34 am. 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 Monday, 21 May 2029, sunrise is at 05:10 am and sunset at 06:45 pm; moonrise is at 11:59 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Ayodhya today is from 11:30 am to 12:25 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Amrit 05:10 am–06:52 am; Shubh 08:34 am–10:16 am; Labh 03:21 pm–05:03 pm; Amrit 05:03 pm–06:45 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.
