Panchang
Today is Saptami of Krishna Paksha in Pausha month, with the Moon in Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra. It is observed as Kalashtami. Rahu Kaal: 12:21 pm–1:39 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Wednesday, 26 December 2040, the tithi in Delhi is Saptami, from 07:42 am (prev day) to 09:44 am, followed by Ashtami, from 09:44 am to 11:12 am (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Margashirsha (Amanta) / Pausha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Uttara Phalguni, from 06:04 pm (prev day) to 08:22 pm, then Hasta, from 08:22 pm to 10:04 pm (next day) on Wednesday, 26 December 2040 in Delhi. The Moon is in Virgo and the Sun in Sagittarius.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Wednesday) runs from 12:21 pm to 01:39 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, 26 December 2040, sunrise is at 07:11 am and sunset at 05:32 pm; moonrise is at 12:25 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 07:11 am–08:29 am; Amrit 08:29 am–09:46 am; Shubh 11:04 am–12:21 pm; Labh 04:14 pm–05:32 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.
