Panchang
Today is Dwitiya of Shukla Paksha in Margashirsha month, with the Moon in Purva Ashadha Nakshatra. It is observed as Dhanu Sankranti. Rahu Kaal: 2:51 pm–4:09 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:55 am to 12:37 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Tuesday, 16 December 2031, the tithi in Delhi is Dwitiya, from 11:20 am (prev day) to 07:55 am, followed by Tritiya, from 07:55 am to 04:32 am (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Margashirsha (Amanta) / Margashirsha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Purva Ashadha, from 03:29 pm (prev day) to 12:48 pm, then Uttara Ashadha, from 12:48 pm to 10:11 am (next day) on Tuesday, 16 December 2031 in Delhi. The Moon is in Sagittarius and the Sun in Scorpio.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Tuesday) runs from 02:51 pm to 04:09 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 Tuesday, 16 December 2031, sunrise is at 07:06 am and sunset at 05:26 pm; moonrise is at 08:40 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 11:55 am to 12:37 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Labh 10:58 am–12:16 pm; Amrit 12:16 pm–01:34 pm; Shubh 02:51 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.
