Panchang
Today is Panchami of Shukla Paksha in Vaishakha month, with the Moon in Mrigashira Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 10:42 am–12:20 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:54 am to 12:46 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Friday, 20 April 2018, the tithi in Delhi is Panchami, from 11:08 pm (prev day) to 08:46 pm, followed by Shashthi, from 08:46 pm to 06:28 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Vaishakha (Amanta) / Vaishakha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Mrigashira, from 10:51 pm (prev day) to 09:14 pm, then Ardra, from 09:14 pm to 07:42 pm (next day) on Friday, 20 April 2018 in Delhi. The Moon is in Taurus and the Sun in Aries.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Friday) runs from 10:42 am to 12:20 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 Friday, 20 April 2018, sunrise is at 05:50 am and sunset at 06:49 pm; moonrise is at 09:17 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 11:54 am to 12:46 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Labh 07:28 am–09:05 am; Amrit 09:05 am–10:42 am; Shubh 12:20 pm–01:57 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.
