Panchang
Today is Shashthi of Krishna Paksha in Vaishakha month, with the Moon in Purva Ashadha Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 12:18 pm–1:58 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Wednesday, 2 May 2040, the tithi in Delhi is Shashthi, from 07:20 pm (prev day) to 04:50 pm, followed by Saptami, from 04:50 pm to 02:33 pm (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Chaitra (Amanta) / Vaishakha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Purva Ashadha, from 12:36 pm (prev day) to 10:49 am, then Uttara Ashadha, from 10:49 am to 09:15 am (next day) on Wednesday, 2 May 2040 in Delhi. The Moon is in Sagittarius and the Sun in Aries.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Wednesday) runs from 12:18 pm to 01:58 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 Wednesday, 2 May 2040, sunrise is at 05:39 am and sunset at 06:57 pm; moonrise is at 12:44 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
There is no Abhijit Muhurat today (Wednesday). Traditionally it is not observed on Wednesdays.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Labh 05:39 am–07:18 am; Amrit 07:18 am–08:58 am; Shubh 10:38 am–12:18 pm; Labh 05:17 pm–06:57 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.
