On Tuesday, 23 December 2014, the tithi in Delhi is Dwitiya, from 04:31 am to 01:41 am (next day), followed by Tritiya, from 01:41 am (next day) to 10:47 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Pausha (Amanta) / Pausha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Purva Ashadha, from 07:14 pm (prev day) to 05:11 pm, then Uttara Ashadha, from 05:11 pm to 03:01 pm (next day) on Tuesday, 23 December 2014 in Delhi. The Moon is in Sagittarius and the Sun in Sagittarius.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Tuesday) runs from 02:55 pm to 04:12 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 Tuesday, 23 December 2014, sunrise is at 07:10 am and sunset at 05:29 pm; moonrise is at 07:58 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 11:59 am to 12:40 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Labh 11:02 am–12:20 pm; Amrit 12:20 pm–01:37 pm; Shubh 02:55 pm–04:12 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.
