Panchang
Today is Ekadashi of Shukla Paksha in Ashwin month, with the Moon in Shatabhisha Nakshatra. It is observed as Papankusha Ekadashi. Rahu Kaal: 9:15 am–10:40 am. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:43 am to 12:28 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Saturday, 20 October 2018, the tithi in Delhi is Ekadashi, from 05:58 pm (prev day) to 08:01 pm, followed by Dwadashi, from 08:01 pm to 09:32 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Ashwin (Amanta) / Ashwin (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Shatabhisha, from 03:24 am to 05:47 am (next day), then Purva Bhadrapada, from 05:47 am (next day) to 07:35 am (next day) on Saturday, 20 October 2018 in Delhi. The Moon is in Aquarius and the Sun in Libra.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Saturday) runs from 09:15 am to 10:40 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, 20 October 2018, sunrise is at 06:24 am and sunset at 05:47 pm; moonrise is at 03:30 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 11:43 am to 12:28 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 07:49 am–09:15 am; Labh 01:31 pm–02:56 pm; Amrit 02:56 pm–04:21 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.
