Panchang
Today is Shashthi of Shukla Paksha in Chaitra month, with the Moon in Ardra Nakshatra. It is observed as Yamuna Chhath. Rahu Kaal: 5:11 pm–6:48 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:54 am to 12:46 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Sunday, 18 April 2021, the tithi in Delhi is Shashthi, from 08:33 pm (prev day) to 10:35 pm, followed by Saptami, from 10:35 pm to 12:02 am (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Chaitra (Amanta) / Chaitra (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Ardra, from 02:33 am to 05:01 am (next day), then Punarvasu, from 05:01 am (next day) to 06:51 am (next day) on Sunday, 18 April 2021 in Delhi. The Moon is in Gemini and the Sun in Aries.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Sunday) runs from 05:11 pm to 06:48 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 Sunday, 18 April 2021, sunrise is at 05:52 am and sunset at 06:48 pm; moonrise is at 09:55 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 11:54 am to 12:46 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Labh 09:06 am–10:43 am; Amrit 10:43 am–12:20 pm; Shubh 01:57 pm–03:34 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.
