Panchang
Today is Panchami of Krishna Paksha in Phalguna month, with the Moon in Chitra Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 1:59 pm–3:23 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 12:12 pm to 12:57 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Thursday, 16 February 2017, the tithi in Delhi is Panchami, from 05:52 am (prev day) to 07:24 am, followed by Shashthi, from 07:24 am to 09:26 am (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Magha (Amanta) / Phalguna (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Chitra, from 11:31 am (prev day) to 01:41 pm, then Swati, from 01:41 pm to 04:17 pm (next day) on Thursday, 16 February 2017 in Delhi. The Moon is in Libra and the Sun in Aquarius.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Thursday) runs from 01:59 pm to 03:23 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, 16 February 2017, sunrise is at 06:58 am and sunset at 06:12 pm; moonrise is at 11:12 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 12:12 pm to 12:57 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 06:58 am–08:22 am; Labh 12:35 pm–01:59 pm; Amrit 01:59 pm–03:23 pm; Shubh 04:48 pm–06:12 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.
