Panchang
Today is Tritiya of Krishna Paksha in Magha month, with the Moon in Ashlesha Nakshatra. It is observed as Sankashti Chaturthi and Sakat Chauth. Rahu Kaal: 1:44 pm–3:01 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 12:05 pm to 12:46 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Thursday, 4 January 2018, the tithi in Delhi is Tritiya, from 12:38 am to 09:32 pm, followed by Chaturthi, from 09:32 pm to 07:00 pm (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Pausha (Amanta) / Magha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Ashlesha, from 08:48 am (prev day) to 03:53 am (next day), then Magha, from 03:53 am (next day) to 02:15 am (next day) on Thursday, 4 January 2018 in Delhi. The Moon is in Cancer and the Sun in Sagittarius.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Thursday) runs from 01:44 pm to 03:01 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, 4 January 2018, sunrise is at 07:14 am and sunset at 05:37 pm; moonrise is at 08:18 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 12:05 pm to 12:46 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 07:14 am–08:32 am; Labh 12:26 pm–01:44 pm; Amrit 01:44 pm–03:01 pm; Shubh 04:19 pm–05:37 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.
