Panchang
Today is Ashtami of Shukla Paksha in Vaishakha month, with the Moon in Magha Nakshatra. It is observed as Masik Durgashtami and Sita Navami. Rahu Kaal: 2:00 pm–3:42 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:50 am to 12:45 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Thursday, 20 May 2021, the tithi in Delhi is Ashtami, from 12:51 pm (prev day) to 12:23 pm, followed by Navami, from 12:23 pm to 11:11 am (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Vaishakha (Amanta) / Vaishakha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Magha, from 03:48 pm (prev day) to 03:57 pm, then Purva Phalguni, from 03:57 pm to 03:22 pm (next day) on Thursday, 20 May 2021 in Delhi. The Moon is in Leo and the Sun in Taurus.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Thursday) runs from 02:00 pm to 03:42 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 Thursday, 20 May 2021, sunrise is at 05:27 am and sunset at 07:08 pm; moonrise is at 12:34 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 11:50 am to 12:45 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 05:27 am–07:10 am; Labh 12:17 pm–02:00 pm; Amrit 02:00 pm–03:42 pm; Shubh 05:25 pm–07:08 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.
