Panchang
Today is Dwadashi of Shukla Paksha in Phalguna month, with the Moon in Ashlesha Nakshatra. It is observed as Shukla Pradosh Vrat. Rahu Kaal: 5:01 pm–6:32 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 12:04 pm to 12:53 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Sunday, 20 March 2016, the tithi in Delhi is Dwadashi, from 10:20 am (prev day) to 11:33 am, followed by Trayodashi, from 11:33 am to 01:12 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Phalguna (Amanta) / Phalguna (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Ashlesha, from 09:48 am (prev day) to 11:34 am, then Magha, from 11:34 am to 01:46 pm (next day) on Sunday, 20 March 2016 in Delhi. The Moon is in Cancer and the Sun in Pisces.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Sunday) runs from 05:01 pm to 06:32 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 Sunday, 20 March 2016, sunrise is at 06:24 am and sunset at 06:32 pm; moonrise is at 03:55 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 12:04 pm to 12:53 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Labh 09:26 am–10:57 am; Amrit 10:57 am–12:28 pm; Shubh 01:59 pm–03:30 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.
