Today is Chaturthi of Krishna Paksha in Pausha month, with the Moon in Pushya Nakshatra. It is observed as Sankashti Chaturthi. Rahu Kaal: 9:44 am–11:02 am. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:59 am to 12:40 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Saturday, 22 December 2040, the tithi in Delhi is Chaturthi, from 12:11 am to 02:44 am (next day), followed by Panchami, from 02:44 am (next day) to 05:18 am (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Margashirsha (Amanta) / Pausha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Pushya, from 09:25 am to 09:25 am, then Ashlesha, from 09:25 am to 12:25 pm (next day) on Saturday, 22 December 2040 in Delhi. The Moon is in Cancer and the Sun in Sagittarius.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Saturday) runs from 09:44 am to 11:02 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, 22 December 2040, sunrise is at 07:09 am and sunset at 05:29 pm; moonrise is at 08:49 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 11:59 am to 12:40 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 08:27 am–09:44 am; Labh 01:37 pm–02:54 pm; Amrit 02:54 pm–04:12 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.
