Today is Shashthi of Krishna Paksha in Magha month, with the Moon in Purva Phalguni Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 1:46 pm–3:04 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 12:06 pm to 12:48 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Thursday, 8 January 2026, the tithi in Delhi is Shashthi, from 06:34 am to 07:06 am (next day), followed by Saptami, from 07:06 am (next day) to 08:24 am (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Pausha (Amanta) / Magha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Purva Phalguni, from 11:56 am (prev day) to 12:24 pm, then Uttara Phalguni, from 12:24 pm to 01:40 pm (next day) on Thursday, 8 January 2026 in Delhi. The Moon is in Leo and the Sun in Sagittarius.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Thursday) runs from 01:46 pm to 03:04 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, 8 January 2026, sunrise is at 07:14 am and sunset at 05:40 pm; moonrise is at 10:52 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 12:06 pm to 12:48 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 07:14 am–08:33 am; Labh 12:27 pm–01:46 pm; Amrit 01:46 pm–03:04 pm; Shubh 04:22 pm–05:40 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.
