Panchang
Today is Chaturdashi of Shukla Paksha in Chaitra month, with the Moon in Hasta Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 12:20 pm–1:57 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Wednesday, 20 April 2016, the tithi in Delhi is Chaturdashi, from 05:47 am to 08:21 am (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Chaitra (Amanta) / Chaitra (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Hasta, from 01:10 am to 04:14 am (next day), then Chitra, from 04:14 am (next day) to 07:18 am (next day) on Wednesday, 20 April 2016 in Delhi. The Moon is in Virgo and the Sun in Aries.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Wednesday) runs from 12:20 pm to 01:57 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 Wednesday, 20 April 2016, sunrise is at 05:50 am and sunset at 06:50 pm; moonrise is at 05:19 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
There is no Abhijit Muhurat today (Wednesday). Traditionally it is not observed on Wednesdays.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Labh 05:50 am–07:27 am; Amrit 07:27 am–09:05 am; Shubh 10:42 am–12:20 pm; Labh 05:12 pm–06:50 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.
