Today is Shashthi of Shukla Paksha in Bhadrapada month, with the Moon in Swati Nakshatra. It is observed as Balarama Jayanti. Rahu Kaal: 7:32 am–9:09 am. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:57 am to 12:49 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Monday, 24 August 2020, the tithi in Delhi is Shashthi, from 05:05 pm (prev day) to 02:32 pm, followed by Saptami, from 02:32 pm to 12:22 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada (Amanta) / Bhadrapada (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Swati, from 05:05 pm (prev day) to 03:20 pm, then Vishakha, from 03:20 pm to 01:58 pm (next day) on Monday, 24 August 2020 in Delhi. The Moon is in Libra and the Sun in Leo.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Monday) runs from 07:32 am to 09:09 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, 24 August 2020, sunrise is at 05:55 am and sunset at 06:51 pm; moonrise is at 11:18 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 11:57 am to 12:49 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Amrit 05:55 am–07:32 am; Shubh 09:09 am–10:46 am; Labh 03:37 pm–05:14 pm; Amrit 05:14 pm–06:51 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.
