Panchang
Today is Amavasya of Krishna Paksha in Ashwin month, with the Moon in Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra. It is observed as Ashwina Amavasya. Rahu Kaal: 12:14 pm–1:45 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Wednesday, 20 September 2017, the tithi in Delhi is Amavasya, from 11:53 am (prev day) to 11:00 am, followed by Pratipada, from 11:00 am to 10:35 am (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Bhadrapada (Amanta) / Ashwin (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Uttara Phalguni, from 11:00 pm (prev day) to 11:02 pm, then Hasta, from 11:02 pm to 11:33 pm (next day) on Wednesday, 20 September 2017 in Delhi. The Moon is in Virgo and the Sun in Virgo.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Wednesday) runs from 12:14 pm to 01:45 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, 20 September 2017, sunrise is at 06:08 am and sunset at 06:20 pm; moonrise is at 05:59 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 06:08 am–07:39 am; Amrit 07:39 am–09:11 am; Shubh 10:42 am–12:14 pm; Labh 04:48 pm–06:20 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.
