Panchang
Today is Dwitiya of Krishna Paksha in Vaishakha month, with the Moon in Vishakha Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 1:57 pm–3:34 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:55 am to 12:46 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Thursday, 17 April 2014, the tithi in Delhi is Dwitiya, from 12:41 pm (prev day) to 11:42 am, followed by Tritiya, from 11:42 am to 10:21 am (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Chaitra (Amanta) / Vaishakha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Vishakha, from 11:06 pm (prev day) to 10:39 pm, then Anuradha, from 10:39 pm to 09:52 pm (next day) on Thursday, 17 April 2014 in Delhi. The Moon is in Libra and the Sun in Aries.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Thursday) runs from 01:57 pm to 03:34 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 Delhi on Thursday, 17 April 2014, sunrise is at 05:53 am and sunset at 06:48 pm; moonrise is at 08:55 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 11:55 am to 12:46 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 05:53 am–07:30 am; Labh 12:21 pm–01:57 pm; Amrit 01:57 pm–03:34 pm; Shubh 05:11 pm–06:48 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.
