Panchang
Today is Dashami of Shukla Paksha in Pausha month, with the Moon in Bharani Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 12:30 pm–1:49 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Wednesday, 16 January 2019, the tithi in Delhi is Dashami, from 12:45 am to 12:04 am (next day), followed by Ekadashi, from 12:04 am (next day) to 10:35 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Pausha (Amanta) / Pausha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Bharani, from 01:55 pm (prev day) to 02:11 pm, then Krittika, from 02:11 pm to 01:40 pm (next day) on Wednesday, 16 January 2019 in Delhi. The Moon is in Aries and the Sun in Capricorn.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Wednesday) runs from 12:30 pm to 01:49 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 January 2019, sunrise is at 07:14 am and sunset at 05:47 pm; moonrise is at 01:27 pm. 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–09:52 am; Shubh 11:11 am–12:30 pm; Labh 04:28 pm–05:47 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.
