Today is Panchami of Shukla Paksha in Shravana month, with the Moon in Hasta Nakshatra. It is observed as Nag Panchami. Rahu Kaal: 12:25 pm–2:04 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Wednesday, 15 August 2018, the tithi in Delhi is Panchami, from 03:28 am to 01:52 am (next day), followed by Shashthi, from 01:52 am (next day) to 01:02 am (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Shravana (Amanta) / Shravana (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Hasta, from 05:21 pm (prev day) to 04:12 pm, then Chitra, from 04:12 pm to 03:48 pm (next day) on Wednesday, 15 August 2018 in Delhi. The Moon is in Virgo and the Sun in Cancer.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Wednesday) runs from 12:25 pm to 02:04 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, 15 August 2018, sunrise is at 05:50 am and sunset at 07:00 pm; moonrise is at 09:47 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 05:50 am–07:28 am; Amrit 07:28 am–09:07 am; Shubh 10:46 am–12:25 pm; Labh 05:22 pm–07:00 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.
