Panchang
Today is Tritiya of Shukla Paksha in Pausha month, with the Moon in Dhanishta Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 12:28 pm–1:46 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Wednesday, 9 January 2019, the tithi in Delhi is Tritiya, from 11:55 am (prev day) to 02:39 pm, followed by Chaturthi, from 02:39 pm to 05:22 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Pausha (Amanta) / Pausha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Dhanishta, from 11:40 pm (prev day) to 02:49 am (next day), then Shatabhisha, from 02:49 am (next day) to 05:53 am (next day) on Wednesday, 9 January 2019 in Delhi. The Moon is in Capricorn and the Sun in Sagittarius.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Wednesday) runs from 12:28 pm to 01:46 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, 9 January 2019, sunrise is at 07:14 am and sunset at 05:41 pm; moonrise is at 09:25 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 07:14 am–08:33 am; Amrit 08:33 am–09:51 am; Shubh 11:09 am–12:28 pm; Labh 04:23 pm–05:41 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.
