Panchang
Today is Dwadashi of Krishna Paksha in Pausha month, with the Moon in Anuradha Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 12:26 pm–1:44 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Wednesday, 6 January 2016, the tithi in Delhi is Dwadashi, from 06:54 am to 07:55 am (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Margashirsha (Amanta) / Pausha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Anuradha, from 07:26 am to 08:56 am (next day), then Jyeshtha, from 08:56 am (next day) to 09:46 am (next day) on Wednesday, 6 January 2016 in Delhi. The Moon is in Scorpio and the Sun in Sagittarius.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Wednesday) runs from 12:26 pm to 01:44 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, 6 January 2016, sunrise is at 07:14 am and sunset at 05:38 pm; moonrise is at 03:31 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 07:14 am–08:32 am; Amrit 08:32 am–09:50 am; Shubh 11:08 am–12:26 pm; Labh 04:20 pm–05:38 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.
