Panchang
Today is Panchami of Krishna Paksha in Pausha month, with the Moon in Ashlesha Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 4:10 pm–5:27 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:57 am to 12:38 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Sunday, 18 December 2016, the tithi in Delhi is Panchami, from 06:51 pm (prev day) to 05:57 pm, followed by Shashthi, from 05:57 pm to 05:55 pm (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Margashirsha (Amanta) / Pausha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Ashlesha, from 01:08 pm (prev day) to 12:40 pm, then Magha, from 12:40 pm to 01:02 pm (next day) on Sunday, 18 December 2016 in Delhi. The Moon is in Cancer and the Sun in Sagittarius.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Sunday) runs from 04:10 pm to 05:27 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 Sunday, 18 December 2016, sunrise is at 07:07 am and sunset at 05:27 pm; moonrise is at 10:11 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 11:57 am to 12:38 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Labh 09:42 am–11:00 am; Amrit 11:00 am–12:17 pm; Shubh 01:35 pm–02:52 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.
