Panchang
Today is Navami of Shukla Paksha in Chaitra month, with the Moon in Pushya Nakshatra. It is observed as Rama Navami. Rahu Kaal: 10:44 am–12:21 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 Friday, 15 April 2016, the tithi in Delhi is Navami, from 09:29 pm (prev day) to 10:04 pm, followed by Dashami, from 10:04 pm to 11:19 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Chaitra (Amanta) / Chaitra (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Pushya, from 02:35 pm (prev day) to 03:35 pm, then Ashlesha, from 03:35 pm to 05:17 pm (next day) on Friday, 15 April 2016 in Delhi. The Moon is in Cancer and the Sun in Aries.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Friday) runs from 10:44 am to 12:21 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 Friday, 15 April 2016, sunrise is at 05:55 am and sunset at 06:47 pm; moonrise is at 12:56 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: Labh 07:31 am–09:08 am; Amrit 09:08 am–10:44 am; Shubh 12:21 pm–01:57 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.
