Panchang
Today is Chaturdashi of Shukla Paksha in Margashirsha month, with the Moon in Rohini Nakshatra. It is observed as Dattatreya Jayanti. Rahu Kaal: 9:42 am–11:00 am. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:57 am to 12:38 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Saturday, 18 December 2021, the tithi in Delhi is Chaturdashi, from 04:41 am (prev day) to 07:25 am, followed by Purnima, from 07:25 am to 10:06 am (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Margashirsha (Amanta) / Margashirsha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Rohini, from 10:40 am (prev day) to 01:48 pm, then Mrigashira, from 01:48 pm to 04:52 pm (next day) on Saturday, 18 December 2021 in Delhi. The Moon is in Taurus and the Sun in Sagittarius.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Saturday) runs from 09:42 am to 11:00 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 Saturday, 18 December 2021, sunrise is at 07:07 am and sunset at 05:27 pm; moonrise is at 04:45 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 11:57 am to 12:38 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 08:25 am–09:42 am; Labh 01:35 pm–02:52 pm; Amrit 02:52 pm–04:10 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.
