Panchang
Today is Amavasya of Krishna Paksha in Magha month, with the Moon in Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 12:31 pm–1:50 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Wednesday, 17 January 2018, the tithi in Delhi is Amavasya, from 05:12 am (prev day) to 07:48 am, followed by Pratipada, from 07:48 am to 10:13 am (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Pausha (Amanta) / Magha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Uttara Ashadha, from 07:22 pm (prev day) to 10:18 pm, then Shravana, from 10:18 pm to 01:01 am (next day) on Wednesday, 17 January 2018 in Delhi. The Moon is in Capricorn and the Sun in Capricorn.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Wednesday) runs from 12:31 pm to 01:50 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, 17 January 2018, sunrise is at 07:14 am and sunset at 05:48 pm; moonrise is at 07:12 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 07:14 am–08:33 am; Amrit 08:33 am–09:52 am; Shubh 11:12 am–12:31 pm; Labh 04:28 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.
