Panchang
Today is Trayodashi of Shukla Paksha in Margashirsha month, with the Moon in Krittika Nakshatra. It is observed as Dhanu Sankranti. Rahu Kaal: 4:09 pm–5:27 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:56 am to 12:37 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Sunday, 16 December 2040, the tithi in Delhi is Trayodashi, from 02:27 pm (prev day) to 03:09 pm, followed by Chaturdashi, from 03:09 pm to 04:16 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Margashirsha (Amanta) / Margashirsha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Krittika, from 08:16 pm (prev day) to 09:37 pm, then Rohini, from 09:37 pm to 11:20 pm (next day) on Sunday, 16 December 2040 in Delhi. The Moon is in Taurus and the Sun in Sagittarius.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Sunday) runs from 04:09 pm to 05:27 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 Sunday, 16 December 2040, sunrise is at 07:06 am and sunset at 05:27 pm; moonrise is at 03:46 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 11:56 am to 12:37 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Labh 09:41 am–10:59 am; Amrit 10:59 am–12:16 pm; Shubh 01:34 pm–02:51 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.
