Panchang
Today is Pratipada of Shukla Paksha in Pausha month, with the Moon in Mula Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 1:16 pm–2:34 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:36 am to 12:18 pm. The answers below are calculated for Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh and refresh every day.
On Thursday, 18 December 2036, the tithi in Ayodhya is Pratipada, from 09:05 pm (prev day) to 10:06 pm, followed by Dwitiya, from 10:06 pm to 11:41 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Pausha (Amanta) / Pausha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Mula, from 05:27 pm (prev day) to 06:56 pm, then Purva Ashadha, from 06:56 pm to 08:55 pm (next day) on Thursday, 18 December 2036 in Ayodhya. The Moon is in Sagittarius and the Sun in Sagittarius.
Rahu Kaal in Ayodhya today (Thursday) runs from 01:16 pm to 02:34 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, 18 December 2036, sunrise is at 06:43 am and sunset at 05:11 pm; moonrise is at 07:01 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Ayodhya today is from 11:36 am to 12:18 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 06:43 am–08:02 am; Labh 11:57 am–01:16 pm; Amrit 01:16 pm–02:34 pm; Shubh 03:53 pm–05:11 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.
