Panchang
Today is Tritiya of Krishna Paksha in Pausha month, with the Moon in Punarvasu Nakshatra. It is observed as Sankashti Chaturthi. Rahu Kaal: 12:12 pm–1:30 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Wednesday, 6 December 2017, the tithi in Delhi is Tritiya, from 01:47 pm (prev day) to 10:19 am, followed by Chaturthi, from 10:19 am to 07:16 am (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Margashirsha (Amanta) / Pausha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Punarvasu, from 12:27 am to 09:56 pm, then Pushya, from 09:56 pm to 07:54 pm (next day) on Wednesday, 6 December 2017 in Delhi. The Moon is in Gemini and the Sun in Scorpio.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Wednesday) runs from 12:12 pm to 01:30 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, 6 December 2017, sunrise is at 06:59 am and sunset at 05:24 pm; moonrise is at 08:28 pm. 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 06:59 am–08:17 am; Amrit 08:17 am–09:35 am; Shubh 10:54 am–12:12 pm; Labh 04:06 pm–05:24 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.
