Panchang
Today is Amavasya of Krishna Paksha in Jyeshtha month, with the Moon in Krittika Nakshatra. It is observed as Jyeshtha Amavasya, Shani Jayanti and Vat Savitri Vrat. Rahu Kaal: 7:11 am–8:53 am. 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 Monday, 18 May 2015, the tithi in Delhi is Amavasya, from 12:00 pm (prev day) to 09:43 am, followed by Pratipada, from 09:43 am to 07:49 am (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Vaishakha (Amanta) / Jyeshtha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Krittika, from 11:14 pm (prev day) to 09:55 pm, then Rohini, from 09:55 pm to 09:02 pm (next day) on Monday, 18 May 2015 in Delhi. The Moon is in Taurus and the Sun in Taurus.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Monday) runs from 07:11 am to 08:53 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 Monday, 18 May 2015, sunrise is at 05:28 am and sunset at 07:06 pm; moonrise is at 05:38 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: Amrit 05:28 am–07:11 am; Shubh 08:53 am–10:35 am; Labh 03:42 pm–05:24 pm; Amrit 05:24 pm–07:06 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.
