Panchang
Today is Dwitiya of Krishna Paksha in Margashirsha month, with the Moon in Rohini Nakshatra. It is observed as Vrishchika Sankranti. Rahu Kaal: 12:05 pm–1:26 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Wednesday, 16 November 2016, the tithi in Delhi is Dwitiya, from 03:27 pm (prev day) to 11:43 am, followed by Tritiya, from 11:43 am to 08:22 am (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Kartika (Amanta) / Margashirsha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Rohini, from 01:17 pm (prev day) to 10:17 am, then Mrigashira, from 10:17 am to 07:40 am (next day) on Wednesday, 16 November 2016 in Delhi. The Moon is in Taurus and the Sun in Scorpio.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Wednesday) runs from 12:05 pm to 01:26 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, 16 November 2016, sunrise is at 06:44 am and sunset at 05:27 pm; moonrise is at 07:27 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 06:44 am–08:04 am; Amrit 08:04 am–09:25 am; Shubh 10:45 am–12:05 pm; Labh 04:06 pm–05:27 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.
