Today is Dwitiya of Shukla Paksha in Ashwin month, with the Moon in Swati Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 1:32 pm–2:58 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:43 am to 12:29 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Thursday, 16 October 2042, the tithi in Delhi is Dwitiya, from 10:14 am (prev day) to 12:50 pm, followed by Tritiya, from 12:50 pm to 03:14 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Ashwin (Amanta) / Ashwin (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Swati, from 07:32 am to 07:32 am, then Vishakha, from 07:32 am to 10:28 am (next day) on Thursday, 16 October 2042 in Delhi. The Moon is in Libra and the Sun in Virgo.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Thursday) runs from 01:32 pm to 02:58 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 Thursday, 16 October 2042, sunrise is at 06:22 am and sunset at 05:50 pm; moonrise is at 08:10 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 11:43 am to 12:29 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 06:22 am–07:48 am; Labh 12:06 pm–01:32 pm; Amrit 01:32 pm–02:58 pm; Shubh 04:24 pm–05:50 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.
