Today is Navami of Krishna Paksha in Pausha month, with the Moon in Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 9:42 am–10:59 am. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:56 am to 12:37 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Saturday, 17 December 2022, the tithi in Delhi is Navami, from 03:03 am to 03:42 am (next day), followed by Dashami, from 03:42 am (next day) to 03:33 am (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Margashirsha (Amanta) / Pausha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Uttara Phalguni, from 09:18 am to 09:18 am, then Hasta, from 09:18 am to 10:18 am (next day) on Saturday, 17 December 2022 in Delhi. The Moon is in Virgo and the Sun in Sagittarius.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Saturday) runs from 09:42 am to 10:59 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, 17 December 2022, sunrise is at 07:06 am and sunset at 05:27 pm; moonrise is at 12:36 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 11:56 am to 12:37 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 08:24 am–09:42 am; Labh 01:34 pm–02:52 pm; Amrit 02:52 pm–04:09 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.
