Panchang
Today is Shashthi of Shukla Paksha in Bhadrapada month, with the Moon in Anuradha Nakshatra. It is observed as Vishwakarma Puja, Kanya Sankranti and Balarama Jayanti. Rahu Kaal: 1:47 pm–3:19 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:50 am to 12:40 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Thursday, 17 September 2026, the tithi in Delhi is Shashthi, from 09:00 am (prev day) to 10:49 am, followed by Saptami, from 10:49 am to 01:02 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada (Amanta) / Bhadrapada (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Anuradha, from 05:22 pm (prev day) to 07:53 pm, then Jyeshtha, from 07:53 pm to 10:44 pm (next day) on Thursday, 17 September 2026 in Delhi. The Moon is in Scorpio and the Sun in Leo.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Thursday) runs from 01:47 pm to 03:19 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, 17 September 2026, sunrise is at 06:06 am and sunset at 06:24 pm; moonrise is at 11:56 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 11:50 am to 12:40 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 06:06 am–07:38 am; Labh 12:15 pm–01:47 pm; Amrit 01:47 pm–03:19 pm; Shubh 04:52 pm–06:24 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.
