Today is Ashtami of Shukla Paksha in Phalguna month, with the Moon in Rohini Nakshatra. It is observed as Masik Durgashtami. Rahu Kaal: 9:35 am–11:03 am. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 12:08 pm to 12:55 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Saturday, 8 March 2014, the tithi in Delhi is Ashtami, from 06:06 am to 07:56 am (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Phalguna (Amanta) / Phalguna (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Rohini, from 03:54 pm (prev day) to 05:57 pm, then Mrigashira, from 05:57 pm to 08:30 pm (next day) on Saturday, 8 March 2014 in Delhi. The Moon is in Taurus and the Sun in Aquarius.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Saturday) runs from 09:35 am to 11:03 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, 8 March 2014, sunrise is at 06:38 am and sunset at 06:25 pm; moonrise is at 11:27 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 12:08 pm to 12:55 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 08:07 am–09:35 am; Labh 02:00 pm–03:28 pm; Amrit 03:28 pm–04:57 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.
