Panchang
Today is Shashthi of Shukla Paksha in Vaishakha month, with the Moon in Ardra Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 9:04 am–10:42 am. 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 Saturday, 21 April 2018, the tithi in Delhi is Shashthi, from 08:46 pm (prev day) to 06:28 pm, followed by Saptami, from 06:28 pm to 04:17 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Vaishakha (Amanta) / Vaishakha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Ardra, from 09:14 pm (prev day) to 07:42 pm, then Punarvasu, from 07:42 pm to 06:17 pm (next day) on Saturday, 21 April 2018 in Delhi. The Moon is in Gemini and the Sun in Aries.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Saturday) runs from 09:04 am to 10:42 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, 21 April 2018, sunrise is at 05:49 am and sunset at 06:50 pm; moonrise is at 10:14 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: Shubh 07:27 am–09:04 am; Labh 01:57 pm–03:35 pm; Amrit 03:35 pm–05:12 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.
