Panchang
Today is Trayodashi of Krishna Paksha in Ashwin month, with the Moon in Purva Phalguni Nakshatra. It is observed as Guru Pradosh Vrat, Masik Shivaratri and Trayodashi Shraddha. Rahu Kaal: 2:10 pm–3:38 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 12:17 pm to 1:05 pm. The answers below are calculated for Dwarka, Gujarat and refresh every day.
On Thursday, 8 October 2026, the tithi in Dwarka is Trayodashi, from 11:17 pm (prev day) to 10:17 pm, followed by Chaturdashi, from 10:17 pm to 09:36 pm (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Bhadrapada (Amanta) / Ashwin (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Purva Phalguni, from 09:40 pm (prev day) to 09:20 pm, then Uttara Phalguni, from 09:20 pm to 09:19 pm (next day) on Thursday, 8 October 2026 in Dwarka. The Moon is in Leo and the Sun in Virgo.
Rahu Kaal in Dwarka today (Thursday) runs from 02:10 pm to 03:38 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 Dwarka on Thursday, 8 October 2026, sunrise is at 06:47 am and sunset at 06:35 pm; moonrise is at 04:27 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Dwarka today is from 12:17 pm to 01:05 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 06:47 am–08:16 am; Labh 12:41 pm–02:10 pm; Amrit 02:10 pm–03:38 pm; Shubh 05:07 pm–06:35 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 Dwarka (22.24°N, 68.97°E) from the real positions of the Sun and Moon. Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana are shown with their start and end times, in Dwarka'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.
