Panchang
Today is Purnima of Shukla Paksha in Pausha month, with the Moon in Ardra Nakshatra. It is observed as Pausha Purnima. Rahu Kaal: 9:49 am–11:07 am. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 12:04 pm to 12:46 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Saturday, 3 January 2026, the tithi in Delhi is Purnima, from 06:54 pm (prev day) to 03:33 pm, followed by Pratipada, from 03:33 pm to 12:31 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Pausha (Amanta) / Pausha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Ardra, from 08:04 pm (prev day) to 05:28 pm, then Punarvasu, from 05:28 pm to 03:11 pm (next day) on Saturday, 3 January 2026 in Delhi. The Moon is in Gemini and the Sun in Sagittarius.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Saturday) runs from 09:49 am to 11:07 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, 3 January 2026, sunrise is at 07:14 am and sunset at 05:37 pm; moonrise is at 05:28 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 12:04 pm to 12:46 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 08:32 am–09:49 am; Labh 01:43 pm–03:01 pm; Amrit 03:01 pm–04:19 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.
