Panchang
Today is Ekadashi of Krishna Paksha in Pausha month, with the Moon in Swati Nakshatra. It is observed as Saphala Ekadashi. Rahu Kaal: 9:45 am–11:03 am. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 12:00 pm to 12:41 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Saturday, 24 December 2016, the tithi in Delhi is Ekadashi, from 12:55 am to 03:32 am (next day), followed by Dwadashi, from 03:32 am (next day) to 06:07 am (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Margashirsha (Amanta) / Pausha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Swati, from 09:34 pm (prev day) to 12:36 am (next day), then Vishakha, from 12:36 am (next day) to 03:36 am (next day) on Saturday, 24 December 2016 in Delhi. The Moon is in Libra and the Sun in Sagittarius.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Saturday) runs from 09:45 am to 11:03 am. 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 Saturday, 24 December 2016, sunrise is at 07:10 am and sunset at 05:30 pm; moonrise is at 02:38 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 12:00 pm to 12:41 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 08:28 am–09:45 am; Labh 01:38 pm–02:55 pm; Amrit 02:55 pm–04:13 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.
