Panchang
Today is Ashtami of Krishna Paksha in Chaitra month, with the Moon in Jyeshtha Nakshatra. It is observed as Kalashtami and Sheetala Ashtami. Rahu Kaal: 7:59 am–9:29 am. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 12:05 pm to 12:53 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Monday, 16 March 2020, the tithi in Delhi is Ashtami, from 03:20 am to 03:00 am (next day), followed by Navami, from 03:00 am (next day) to 03:24 am (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Phalguna (Amanta) / Chaitra (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Jyeshtha, from 11:23 am (prev day) to 11:12 am, then Mula, from 11:12 am to 11:46 am (next day) on Monday, 16 March 2020 in Delhi. The Moon is in Scorpio and the Sun in Pisces.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Monday) runs from 07:59 am to 09:29 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 March 2020, sunrise is at 06:29 am and sunset at 06:30 pm; moonrise is at 12:45 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 12:05 pm to 12:53 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Amrit 06:29 am–07:59 am; Shubh 09:29 am–10:59 am; Labh 03:30 pm–05:00 pm; Amrit 05:00 pm–06:30 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.
