Today is Navami of Shukla Paksha in Ashwin month, with the Moon in Shravana Nakshatra. It is observed as Maha Navami. Rahu Kaal: 1:31 pm–2:57 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:43 am to 12:29 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Thursday, 18 October 2018, the tithi in Delhi is Navami, from 12:50 pm (prev day) to 03:29 pm, followed by Dashami, from 03:29 pm to 05:58 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Ashwin (Amanta) / Ashwin (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Shravana, from 09:28 pm (prev day) to 12:33 am (next day), then Dhanishta, from 12:33 am (next day) to 03:23 am (next day) on Thursday, 18 October 2018 in Delhi. The Moon is in Capricorn and the Sun in Libra.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Thursday) runs from 01:31 pm to 02:57 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, 18 October 2018, sunrise is at 06:23 am and sunset at 05:48 pm; moonrise is at 02:15 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 11:43 am to 12:29 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 06:23 am–07:49 am; Labh 12:06 pm–01:31 pm; Amrit 01:31 pm–02:57 pm; Shubh 04:23 pm–05:48 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.
