Panchang
Today is Pratipada of Shukla Paksha in Vaishakha month, with the Moon in Krittika Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 8:54 am–10:36 am. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:50 am to 12:44 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Saturday, 12 May 2040, the tithi in Delhi is Pratipada, from 08:58 am (prev day) to 10:17 am, followed by Dwitiya, from 10:17 am to 12:03 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Vaishakha (Amanta) / Vaishakha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Krittika, from 09:00 am (prev day) to 10:56 am, then Rohini, from 10:56 am to 01:18 pm (next day) on Saturday, 12 May 2040 in Delhi. The Moon is in Taurus and the Sun in Aries.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Saturday) runs from 08:54 am to 10:36 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, 12 May 2040, sunrise is at 05:31 am and sunset at 07:03 pm; moonrise is at 06:12 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 11:50 am to 12:44 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 07:13 am–08:54 am; Labh 01:59 pm–03:40 pm; Amrit 03:40 pm–05:22 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.
