Panchang
Today is Dwadashi of Krishna Paksha in Margashirsha month, with the Moon in Swati Nakshatra. It is observed as Krishna Pradosh Vrat. Rahu Kaal: 2:48 pm–4:06 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:51 am to 12:33 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Tuesday, 8 December 2015, the tithi in Delhi is Dwadashi, from 10:23 am (prev day) to 12:35 pm, followed by Trayodashi, from 12:35 pm to 02:17 pm (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Kartika (Amanta) / Margashirsha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Swati, from 06:25 pm (prev day) to 08:55 pm, then Vishakha, from 08:55 pm to 10:55 pm (next day) on Tuesday, 8 December 2015 in Delhi. The Moon is in Libra and the Sun in Scorpio.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Tuesday) runs from 02:48 pm to 04:06 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, 8 December 2015, sunrise is at 07:00 am and sunset at 05:24 pm; moonrise is at 03:55 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 11:51 am to 12:33 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Labh 10:54 am–12:12 pm; Amrit 12:12 pm–01:30 pm; Shubh 02:48 pm–04:06 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.
