Panchang
Today is Pratipada of Krishna Paksha in Pausha month, with the Moon in Ardra Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 12:18 pm–1:35 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Wednesday, 19 December 2040, the tithi in Delhi is Pratipada, from 05:46 pm (prev day) to 07:37 pm, followed by Dwitiya, from 07:37 pm to 09:46 pm (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Margashirsha (Amanta) / Pausha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Ardra, from 01:25 am to 03:50 am (next day), then Punarvasu, from 03:50 am (next day) to 06:31 am (next day) on Wednesday, 19 December 2040 in Delhi. The Moon is in Gemini and the Sun in Sagittarius.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Wednesday) runs from 12:18 pm to 01:35 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, 19 December 2040, sunrise is at 07:08 am and sunset at 05:28 pm; moonrise is at 06:05 pm. 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 07:08 am–08:25 am; Amrit 08:25 am–09:43 am; Shubh 11:00 am–12:18 pm; Labh 04:10 pm–05:28 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.
