Panchang
Today is Ashtami of Shukla Paksha in Chaitra month, with the Moon in Ardra Nakshatra. It is observed as Masik Durgashtami. Rahu Kaal: 7:26 am–8:59 am. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:40 am to 12:30 pm. The answers below are calculated for Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh and refresh every day.
On Monday, 31 March 2031, the tithi in Ayodhya is Ashtami, from 04:45 pm (prev day) to 07:18 pm, followed by Navami, from 07:18 pm to 09:35 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Chaitra (Amanta) / Chaitra (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Ardra, from 11:28 am (prev day) to 02:31 pm, then Punarvasu, from 02:31 pm to 05:22 pm (next day) on Monday, 31 March 2031 in Ayodhya. The Moon is in Gemini and the Sun in Pisces.
Rahu Kaal in Ayodhya today (Monday) runs from 07:26 am to 08:59 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, 31 March 2031, sunrise is at 05:53 am and sunset at 06:17 pm; moonrise is at 11:41 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Ayodhya today is from 11:40 am to 12:30 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Amrit 05:53 am–07:26 am; Shubh 08:59 am–10:32 am; Labh 03:11 pm–04:44 pm; Amrit 04:44 pm–06:17 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.
