Panchang
Today is Dashami of Shukla Paksha in Pausha month, with the Moon in Ashwini Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 1:40 pm–2:57 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 12:02 pm to 12:43 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Thursday, 28 December 2017, the tithi in Delhi is Dashami, from 01:55 am to 12:17 am (next day), followed by Ekadashi, from 12:17 am (next day) to 09:55 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Pausha (Amanta) / Pausha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Ashwini, from 01:36 am to 12:38 am (next day), then Bharani, from 12:38 am (next day) to 10:56 pm (next day) on Thursday, 28 December 2017 in Delhi. The Moon is in Aries and the Sun in Sagittarius.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Thursday) runs from 01:40 pm to 02:57 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 Thursday, 28 December 2017, sunrise is at 07:12 am and sunset at 05:33 pm; moonrise is at 01:40 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 12:02 pm to 12:43 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 07:12 am–08:30 am; Labh 12:22 pm–01:40 pm; Amrit 01:40 pm–02:57 pm; Shubh 04:15 pm–05:33 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.
