Panchang
Today is Pratipada of Shukla Paksha in Jyeshtha month, with the Moon in Krittika Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 12:17 pm–1:59 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Wednesday, 16 May 2018, the tithi in Delhi is Pratipada, from 05:18 pm (prev day) to 02:28 pm, followed by Dwitiya, from 02:28 pm to 11:27 am (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Jyeshtha (Amanta) / Jyeshtha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Krittika, from 10:56 am (prev day) to 08:58 am, then Rohini, from 08:58 am to 06:48 am (next day) on Wednesday, 16 May 2018 in Delhi. The Moon is in Taurus and the Sun in Taurus.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Wednesday) runs from 12:17 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, 16 May 2018, sunrise is at 05:29 am and sunset at 07:05 pm; moonrise is at 06:15 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 05:29 am–07:11 am; Amrit 07:11 am–08:53 am; Shubh 10:35 am–12:17 pm; Labh 05:23 pm–07:05 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.
