Panchang
Today is Chaturdashi of Krishna Paksha in Pausha month, with the Moon in Jyeshtha Nakshatra. It is observed as Darsha Amavasya. Rahu Kaal: 12:22 pm–1:40 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Wednesday, 28 December 2016, the tithi in Delhi is Chaturdashi, from 08:31 am (prev day) to 10:37 am, followed by Amavasya, from 10:37 am to 12:23 pm (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Margashirsha (Amanta) / Pausha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Jyeshtha, from 09:01 am to 09:01 am, then Mula, from 09:01 am to 11:17 am (next day) on Wednesday, 28 December 2016 in Delhi. The Moon is in Scorpio and the Sun in Sagittarius.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Wednesday) runs from 12:22 pm to 01:40 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, 28 December 2016, sunrise is at 07:12 am and sunset at 05:33 pm; moonrise is at 06:04 am. 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 07:12 am–08:30 am; Amrit 08:30 am–09:47 am; Shubh 11:05 am–12:22 pm; Labh 04:15 pm–05:33 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.
