Today is Shashthi of Shukla Paksha in Chaitra month, with the Moon in Mrigashira Nakshatra. It is observed as Yamuna Chhath. Rahu Kaal: 3:33 pm–5:09 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:56 am to 12:47 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Tuesday, 12 April 2016, the tithi in Delhi is Shashthi, from 12:27 am to 10:41 pm, followed by Saptami, from 10:41 pm to 09:41 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Chaitra (Amanta) / Chaitra (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Mrigashira, from 04:11 pm (prev day) to 02:54 pm, then Ardra, from 02:54 pm to 02:21 pm (next day) on Tuesday, 12 April 2016 in Delhi. The Moon is in Gemini and the Sun in Pisces.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Tuesday) runs from 03:33 pm to 05:09 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 Tuesday, 12 April 2016, sunrise is at 05:58 am and sunset at 06:45 pm; moonrise is at 10:08 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 11:56 am to 12:47 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Labh 10:46 am–12:22 pm; Amrit 12:22 pm–01:57 pm; Shubh 03:33 pm–05:09 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.
