Panchang
Today is Chaturdashi of Krishna Paksha in Kartika month, with the Moon in Hasta Nakshatra. It is observed as Narak Chaturdashi and Masik Shivaratri. Rahu Kaal: 12:06 pm–1:31 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Wednesday, 18 October 2017, the tithi in Delhi is Chaturdashi, from 12:09 am to 12:13 am (next day), followed by Amavasya, from 12:13 am (next day) to 12:42 am (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Ashwin (Amanta) / Kartika (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Hasta, from 06:38 am to 07:26 am (next day), then Chitra, from 07:26 am (next day) to 08:37 am (next day) on Wednesday, 18 October 2017 in Delhi. The Moon is in Virgo and the Sun in Libra.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Wednesday) runs from 12:06 pm to 01:31 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, 18 October 2017, sunrise is at 06:23 am and sunset at 05:48 pm; moonrise is at 04:47 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 06:23 am–07:49 am; Amrit 07:49 am–09:14 am; Shubh 10:40 am–12:06 pm; Labh 04:23 pm–05:48 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.
