Panchang
Today is Tritiya of Shukla Paksha in Jyeshtha month, with the Moon in Ardra Nakshatra. It is observed as Vinayaka Chaturthi. Rahu Kaal: 2:00 pm–3:43 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:50 am to 12:45 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Thursday, 21 May 2015, the tithi in Delhi is Tritiya, from 06:26 am (prev day) to 05:40 am, followed by Chaturthi, from 05:40 am to 05:37 am (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Jyeshtha (Amanta) / Jyeshtha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Ardra, from 08:45 pm (prev day) to 09:08 pm, then Punarvasu, from 09:08 pm to 10:13 pm (next day) on Thursday, 21 May 2015 in Delhi. The Moon is in Gemini and the Sun in Taurus.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Thursday) runs from 02:00 pm to 03:43 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 Thursday, 21 May 2015, sunrise is at 05:27 am and sunset at 07:08 pm; moonrise is at 08:16 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 11:50 am to 12:45 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 05:27 am–07:10 am; Labh 12:17 pm–02:00 pm; Amrit 02:00 pm–03:43 pm; Shubh 05:25 pm–07:08 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.
