Panchang
Today is Navami of Krishna Paksha in Pausha month, with the Moon in Hasta Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 1:37 pm–2:54 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:59 am to 12:40 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Thursday, 22 December 2016, the tithi in Delhi is Navami, from 08:18 pm (prev day) to 10:26 pm, followed by Dashami, from 10:26 pm to 12:55 am (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Margashirsha (Amanta) / Pausha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Hasta, from 04:11 pm (prev day) to 06:41 pm, then Chitra, from 06:41 pm to 09:34 pm (next day) on Thursday, 22 December 2016 in Delhi. The Moon is in Virgo and the Sun in Sagittarius.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Thursday) runs from 01:37 pm to 02:54 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 Thursday, 22 December 2016, sunrise is at 07:09 am and sunset at 05:29 pm; moonrise is at 12:55 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 11:59 am to 12:40 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 07:09 am–08:27 am; Labh 12:19 pm–01:37 pm; Amrit 01:37 pm–02:54 pm; Shubh 04:12 pm–05:29 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.
