Today is Saptami of Krishna Paksha in Chaitra month, with the Moon in Jyeshtha Nakshatra. It is observed as Kalashtami. Rahu Kaal: 7:55 am–9:26 am. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 12:04 pm to 12:53 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Monday, 20 March 2017, the tithi in Delhi is Saptami, from 05:53 am (prev day) to 08:20 am, followed by Ashtami, from 08:20 am to 10:32 am (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Phalguna (Amanta) / Chaitra (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Jyeshtha, from 09:09 am to 09:09 am, then Mula, from 09:09 am to 11:50 am (next day) on Monday, 20 March 2017 in Delhi. The Moon is in Scorpio and the Sun in Pisces.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Monday) runs from 07:55 am to 09:26 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 Monday, 20 March 2017, sunrise is at 06:25 am and sunset at 06:32 pm; moonrise is at 12:29 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 12:04 pm to 12:53 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Amrit 06:25 am–07:55 am; Shubh 09:26 am–10:57 am; Labh 03:30 pm–05:01 pm; Amrit 05:01 pm–06:32 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.
