Panchang
Today is Ashtami of Shukla Paksha in Bhadrapada month, with the Moon in Anuradha Nakshatra. It is observed as Masik Durgashtami. Rahu Kaal: 9:09 am–10:46 am. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:57 am to 12:48 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Saturday, 25 August 2012, the tithi in Delhi is Ashtami, from 08:27 am (prev day) to 06:21 am, followed by Navami, from 06:21 am to 04:18 am (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada (Amanta) / Bhadrapada (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Anuradha, from 11:51 am (prev day) to 10:32 am, then Jyeshtha, from 10:32 am to 09:16 am (next day) on Saturday, 25 August 2012 in Delhi. The Moon is in Scorpio and the Sun in Leo.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Saturday) runs from 09:09 am to 10:46 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 Delhi on Saturday, 25 August 2012, sunrise is at 05:55 am and sunset at 06:50 pm; moonrise is at 01:39 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 11:57 am to 12:48 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 07:32 am–09:09 am; Labh 01:59 pm–03:36 pm; Amrit 03:36 pm–05:13 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 Delhi (28.61°N, 77.21°E) from the real positions of the Sun and Moon. Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana are shown with their start and end times, in Delhi'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.
