Panchang
Today is Chaturthi of Shukla Paksha in Chaitra month, with the Moon in Bharani Nakshatra. It is observed as Vinayaka Chaturthi. Rahu Kaal: 12:28 pm–1:59 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Wednesday, 21 March 2018, the tithi in Delhi is Chaturthi, from 04:51 pm (prev day) to 03:29 pm, followed by Panchami, from 03:29 pm to 01:52 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Chaitra (Amanta) / Chaitra (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Bharani, from 07:44 pm (prev day) to 07:01 pm, then Krittika, from 07:01 pm to 06:04 pm (next day) on Wednesday, 21 March 2018 in Delhi. The Moon is in Aries and the Sun in Pisces.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Wednesday) runs from 12:28 pm to 01:59 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, 21 March 2018, sunrise is at 06:24 am and sunset at 06:33 pm; moonrise is at 08:58 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 06:24 am–07:55 am; Amrit 07:55 am–09:26 am; Shubh 10:57 am–12:28 pm; Labh 05:01 pm–06:33 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.
