Panchang
Today is Panchami of Krishna Paksha in Pausha month, with the Moon in Ashlesha Nakshatra. It is observed as Dhanu Sankranti. Rahu Kaal: 8:23 am–9:41 am. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:55 am to 12:37 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Monday, 16 December 2019, the tithi in Delhi is Panchami, from 05:35 am to 03:40 am (next day), followed by Shashthi, from 03:40 am (next day) to 01:38 am (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Margashirsha (Amanta) / Pausha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Ashlesha, from 04:00 am to 02:46 am (next day), then Magha, from 02:46 am (next day) to 01:25 am (next day) on Monday, 16 December 2019 in Delhi. The Moon is in Cancer and the Sun in Scorpio.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Monday) runs from 08:23 am to 09:41 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 Monday, 16 December 2019, sunrise is at 07:06 am and sunset at 05:26 pm; moonrise is at 09:40 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 11:55 am to 12:37 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Amrit 07:06 am–08:23 am; Shubh 09:41 am–10:58 am; Labh 02:51 pm–04:09 pm; Amrit 04:09 pm–05:26 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.
