On Wednesday, 17 October 2012, the tithi in Delhi is Dwitiya, from 02:18 pm (prev day) to 10:59 am, followed by Tritiya, from 10:59 am to 07:44 am (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Ashwin (Amanta) / Ashwin (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Vishakha, from 04:12 am to 01:40 am (next day), then Anuradha, from 01:40 am (next day) to 11:19 pm (next day) on Wednesday, 17 October 2012 in Delhi. The Moon is in Libra and the Sun in Libra.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Wednesday) runs from 12:06 pm to 01:32 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 Delhi on Wednesday, 17 October 2012, sunrise is at 06:23 am and sunset at 05:49 pm; moonrise is at 08:12 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 06:23 am–07:48 am; Amrit 07:48 am–09:14 am; Shubh 10:40 am–12:06 pm; Labh 04:23 pm–05:49 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.
