Panchang
Today is Ashtami of Shukla Paksha in Chaitra month, with the Moon in Punarvasu Nakshatra. It is observed as Masik Durgashtami. Rahu Kaal: 1:57 pm–3:34 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:55 am to 12:47 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Thursday, 14 April 2016, the tithi in Delhi is Ashtami, from 09:41 pm (prev day) to 09:29 pm, followed by Navami, from 09:29 pm to 10:04 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Chaitra (Amanta) / Chaitra (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Punarvasu, from 02:21 pm (prev day) to 02:35 pm, then Pushya, from 02:35 pm to 03:35 pm (next day) on Thursday, 14 April 2016 in Delhi. The Moon is in Gemini and the Sun in Aries.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Thursday) runs from 01:57 pm to 03:34 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, 14 April 2016, sunrise is at 05:56 am and sunset at 06:46 pm; moonrise is at 12:01 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 11:55 am to 12:47 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 05:56 am–07:32 am; Labh 12:21 pm–01:57 pm; Amrit 01:57 pm–03:34 pm; Shubh 05:10 pm–06:46 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.
