Panchang
Today is Dwitiya of Shukla Paksha in Jyeshtha month, with the Moon in Mrigashira Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 12:17 pm–2:00 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Wednesday, 20 May 2015, the tithi in Delhi is Dwitiya, from 07:49 am (prev day) to 06:26 am, followed by Tritiya, from 06:26 am to 05:40 am (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Jyeshtha (Amanta) / Jyeshtha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Mrigashira, from 09:03 pm (prev day) to 08:45 pm, then Ardra, from 08:45 pm to 09:07 pm (next day) on Wednesday, 20 May 2015 in Delhi. The Moon is in Taurus and the Sun in Taurus.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Wednesday) runs from 12:17 pm to 02:00 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 Wednesday, 20 May 2015, sunrise is at 05:27 am and sunset at 07:07 pm; moonrise is at 07:21 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
There is no Abhijit Muhurat today (Wednesday). Traditionally it is not observed on Wednesdays.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Labh 05:27 am–07:10 am; Amrit 07:10 am–08:52 am; Shubh 10:35 am–12:17 pm; Labh 05:25 pm–07:07 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.
