Panchang
Today is Amavasya of Krishna Paksha in Chaitra month, with the Moon in Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra. It is observed as Chaitra Amavasya and Darsha Amavasya. Rahu Kaal: 9:29 am–10:59 am. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 12:05 pm to 12:53 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Saturday, 17 March 2018, the tithi in Delhi is Amavasya, from 06:18 pm (prev day) to 06:42 pm, followed by Pratipada, from 06:42 pm to 06:32 pm (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Phalguna (Amanta) / Chaitra (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Purva Bhadrapada, from 06:44 pm (prev day) to 07:43 pm, then Uttara Bhadrapada, from 07:43 pm to 08:09 pm (next day) on Saturday, 17 March 2018 in Delhi. The Moon is in Aquarius and the Sun in Pisces.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Saturday) runs from 09:29 am to 10:59 am. 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 Saturday, 17 March 2018, sunrise is at 06:28 am and sunset at 06:30 pm; moonrise is at 06:26 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 12:05 pm to 12:53 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 07:59 am–09:29 am; Labh 02:00 pm–03:30 pm; Amrit 03:30 pm–05:00 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.
