Panchang
Today is Saptami of Krishna Paksha in Chaitra month, with the Moon in Mula Nakshatra. It is observed as Kalashtami. Rahu Kaal: 1:58 pm–3:32 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 12:00 pm to 12:50 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Thursday, 31 March 2016, the tithi in Delhi is Saptami, from 07:23 am (prev day) to 08:29 am, followed by Ashtami, from 08:29 am to 08:54 am (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Phalguna (Amanta) / Chaitra (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Mula, from 11:49 am (prev day) to 01:23 pm, then Purva Ashadha, from 01:23 pm to 02:16 pm (next day) on Thursday, 31 March 2016 in Delhi. The Moon is in Sagittarius and the Sun in Pisces.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Thursday) runs from 01:58 pm to 03:32 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 Thursday, 31 March 2016, sunrise is at 06:12 am and sunset at 06:38 pm; moonrise is at 12:31 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 12:00 pm to 12:50 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 06:12 am–07:45 am; Labh 12:25 pm–01:58 pm; Amrit 01:58 pm–03:32 pm; Shubh 05:05 pm–06:38 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.
