Panchang
Today is Chaturthi of Shukla Paksha in Chaitra month, with the Moon in Rohini Nakshatra. It is observed as Vinayaka Chaturthi. Rahu Kaal: 10:44 am–12:21 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:55 am to 12:46 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Friday, 16 April 2021, the tithi in Delhi is Chaturthi, from 03:28 pm (prev day) to 06:06 pm, followed by Panchami, from 06:06 pm to 08:33 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Chaitra (Amanta) / Chaitra (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Rohini, from 08:32 pm (prev day) to 11:39 pm, then Mrigashira, from 11:39 pm to 02:33 am (next day) on Friday, 16 April 2021 in Delhi. The Moon is in Taurus and the Sun in Aries.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Friday) runs from 10:44 am to 12:21 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 Friday, 16 April 2021, sunrise is at 05:54 am and sunset at 06:47 pm; moonrise is at 08:26 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 11:55 am to 12:46 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Labh 07:31 am–09:07 am; Amrit 09:07 am–10:44 am; Shubh 12:21 pm–01:57 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.
