Panchang
Today is Dwadashi of Krishna Paksha in Kartika month, with the Moon in Purva Phalguni Nakshatra. It is observed as Govatsa Dwadashi. Rahu Kaal: 7:48 am–9:14 am. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:43 am to 12:29 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Monday, 16 October 2017, the tithi in Delhi is Dwadashi, from 01:05 am to 12:27 am (next day), followed by Trayodashi, from 12:27 am (next day) to 12:09 am (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Ashwin (Amanta) / Kartika (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Purva Phalguni, from 06:06 am to 06:12 am (next day), then Uttara Phalguni, from 06:12 am (next day) to 06:37 am (next day) on Monday, 16 October 2017 in Delhi. The Moon is in Leo and the Sun in Virgo.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Monday) runs from 07:48 am to 09:14 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, 16 October 2017, sunrise is at 06:22 am and sunset at 05:50 pm; moonrise is at 02:51 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 11:43 am to 12:29 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Amrit 06:22 am–07:48 am; Shubh 09:14 am–10:40 am; Labh 02:58 pm–04:24 pm; Amrit 04:24 pm–05:50 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.
