Panchang
Today is Panchami of Shukla Paksha in Chaitra month, with the Moon in Krittika Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 1:59 pm–3:30 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 12:03 pm to 12:52 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Thursday, 22 March 2018, the tithi in Delhi is Panchami, from 03:29 pm (prev day) to 01:52 pm, followed by Shashthi, from 01:52 pm to 12:03 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Chaitra (Amanta) / Chaitra (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Krittika, from 07:01 pm (prev day) to 06:04 pm, then Rohini, from 06:04 pm to 04:57 pm (next day) on Thursday, 22 March 2018 in Delhi. The Moon is in Taurus and the Sun in Pisces.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Thursday) runs from 01:59 pm to 03:30 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, 22 March 2018, sunrise is at 06:23 am and sunset at 06:33 pm; moonrise is at 09:41 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 12:03 pm to 12:52 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 06:23 am–07:54 am; Labh 12:28 pm–01:59 pm; Amrit 01:59 pm–03:30 pm; Shubh 05:02 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.
