Panchang
Today is Dwadashi of Shukla Paksha in Magha month, with the Moon in Ardra Nakshatra. It is observed as Shukla Pradosh Vrat. Rahu Kaal: 12:35 pm–1:58 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Wednesday, 8 February 2017, the tithi in Delhi is Dwadashi, from 01:48 pm (prev day) to 11:30 am, followed by Trayodashi, from 11:30 am to 09:22 am (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Magha (Amanta) / Magha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Ardra, from 01:49 pm (prev day) to 12:13 pm, then Punarvasu, from 12:13 pm to 10:47 am (next day) on Wednesday, 8 February 2017 in Delhi. The Moon is in Gemini and the Sun in Capricorn.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Wednesday) runs from 12:35 pm to 01:58 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, 8 February 2017, sunrise is at 07:04 am and sunset at 06:06 pm; moonrise is at 03:32 pm. 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 07:04 am–08:27 am; Amrit 08:27 am–09:50 am; Shubh 11:12 am–12:35 pm; Labh 04:43 pm–06:06 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.
