Panchang
Today is Chaturdashi of Krishna Paksha in Jyeshtha month, with the Moon in Bharani Nakshatra. It is observed as Darsha Amavasya. Rahu Kaal: 5:23 pm–7:05 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 Sunday, 17 May 2015, the tithi in Delhi is Chaturdashi, from 02:31 pm (prev day) to 12:00 pm, followed by Amavasya, from 12:00 pm to 09:43 am (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Vaishakha (Amanta) / Jyeshtha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Bharani, from 12:52 am to 11:14 pm, then Krittika, from 11:14 pm to 09:54 pm (next day) on Sunday, 17 May 2015 in Delhi. The Moon is in Aries and the Sun in Taurus.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Sunday) runs from 05:23 pm to 07:05 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 Sunday, 17 May 2015, sunrise is at 05:29 am and sunset at 07:05 pm; moonrise is at 04:49 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 08:53 am–10:35 am; Amrit 10:35 am–12:17 pm; Shubh 01:59 pm–03:41 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.
