Today is Ashtami of Shukla Paksha in Pausha month, with the Moon in Ashwini Nakshatra. It is observed as Masik Durgashtami. Rahu Kaal: 9:53 am–11:12 am. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 12:11 pm to 12:53 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Saturday, 21 January 2040, the tithi in Delhi is Ashtami, from 07:23 pm (prev day) to 08:32 pm, followed by Navami, from 08:32 pm to 10:24 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Pausha (Amanta) / Pausha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Ashwini, from 07:57 pm (prev day) to 09:38 pm, then Bharani, from 09:38 pm to 12:00 am (next day) on Saturday, 21 January 2040 in Delhi. The Moon is in Aries and the Sun in Capricorn.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Saturday) runs from 09:53 am to 11:12 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, 21 January 2040, sunrise is at 07:13 am and sunset at 05:51 pm; moonrise is at 12:06 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 12:11 pm to 12:53 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 08:33 am–09:53 am; Labh 01:52 pm–03:11 pm; Amrit 03:11 pm–04:31 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.
