Panchang
Today is Dwadashi of Shukla Paksha in Pausha month, with the Moon in Mrigashira Nakshatra. It is observed as Shukla Pradosh Vrat. Rahu Kaal: 1:52 pm–3:11 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 12:11 pm to 12:53 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Thursday, 21 January 2016, the tithi in Delhi is Dwadashi, from 10:44 am (prev day) to 09:20 am, followed by Trayodashi, from 09:20 am to 08:14 am (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Pausha (Amanta) / Pausha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Mrigashira, from 08:54 pm (prev day) to 08:17 pm, then Ardra, from 08:17 pm to 07:59 pm (next day) on Thursday, 21 January 2016 in Delhi. The Moon is in Taurus and the Sun in Capricorn.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Thursday) runs from 01:52 pm to 03:11 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 January 2016, sunrise is at 07:13 am and sunset at 05:50 pm; moonrise is at 03:30 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 12:11 pm to 12:53 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 07:13 am–08:33 am; Labh 12:32 pm–01:52 pm; Amrit 01:52 pm–03:11 pm; Shubh 04:31 pm–05:50 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.
