Panchang
Today is Navami of Krishna Paksha in Jyeshtha month, with the Moon in Dhanishta Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 3:40 pm–5:21 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:50 am to 12:44 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Tuesday, 12 May 2015, the tithi in Delhi is Navami, from 03:05 am to 12:51 am (next day), followed by Dashami, from 12:51 am (next day) to 10:25 pm (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Vaishakha (Amanta) / Jyeshtha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Dhanishta, from 10:55 am (prev day) to 09:38 am, then Shatabhisha, from 09:38 am to 08:06 am (next day) on Tuesday, 12 May 2015 in Delhi. The Moon is in Aquarius and the Sun in Aries.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Tuesday) runs from 03:40 pm to 05:21 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, 12 May 2015, sunrise is at 05:32 am and sunset at 07:02 pm; moonrise is at 01:12 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 11:50 am to 12:44 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Labh 10:36 am–12:17 pm; Amrit 12:17 pm–01:59 pm; Shubh 03:40 pm–05:21 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.
