Panchang
Today is Chaturdashi of Shukla Paksha in Margashirsha month, with the Moon in Rohini Nakshatra. It is observed as Dattatreya Jayanti. Rahu Kaal: 2:50 pm–4:08 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:54 am to 12:36 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Tuesday, 13 December 2016, the tithi in Delhi is Chaturdashi, from 12:59 pm (prev day) to 09:17 am, followed by Purnima, from 09:17 am to 05:36 am (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Margashirsha (Amanta) / Margashirsha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Rohini, from 12:38 am to 09:40 pm, then Mrigashira, from 09:40 pm to 06:51 pm (next day) on Tuesday, 13 December 2016 in Delhi. The Moon is in Taurus and the Sun in Scorpio.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Tuesday) runs from 02:50 pm to 04:08 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, 13 December 2016, sunrise is at 07:04 am and sunset at 05:25 pm; moonrise is at 05:06 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 11:54 am to 12:36 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Labh 10:57 am–12:15 pm; Amrit 12:15 pm–01:33 pm; Shubh 02:50 pm–04:08 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.
