Panchang
Today is Ekadashi of Shukla Paksha in Margashirsha month, with the Moon in Ashwini Nakshatra. It is observed as Mokshada Ekadashi and Gita Jayanti. Rahu Kaal: 8:26 am–9:44 am. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:58 am to 12:39 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Monday, 21 December 2015, the tithi in Delhi is Ekadashi, from 03:31 am to 01:12 am (next day), followed by Dwadashi, from 01:12 am (next day) to 10:51 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Margashirsha (Amanta) / Margashirsha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Ashwini, from 07:45 pm (prev day) to 06:09 pm, then Bharani, from 06:09 pm to 04:29 pm (next day) on Monday, 21 December 2015 in Delhi. The Moon is in Aries and the Sun in Sagittarius.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Monday) runs from 08:26 am to 09:44 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, 21 December 2015, sunrise is at 07:09 am and sunset at 05:28 pm; moonrise is at 02:16 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 11:58 am to 12:39 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Amrit 07:09 am–08:26 am; Shubh 09:44 am–11:01 am; Labh 02:53 pm–04:11 pm; Amrit 04:11 pm–05:28 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.
