Panchang
Today is Pratipada of Shukla Paksha in Margashirsha month, with the Moon in Jyeshtha Nakshatra. It is observed as Ishti. Rahu Kaal: 12:46 pm–2:07 pm. The answers below are calculated for Dwarka, Gujarat and refresh every day.
On Wednesday, 9 December 2026, the tithi in Dwarka is Pratipada, from 06:22 am to 08:47 am (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Margashirsha (Amanta) / Margashirsha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Jyeshtha, from 06:16 pm (prev day) to 09:00 pm, then Mula, from 09:00 pm to 11:58 pm (next day) on Wednesday, 9 December 2026 in Dwarka. The Moon is in Scorpio and the Sun in Scorpio.
Rahu Kaal in Dwarka today (Wednesday) runs from 12:46 pm to 02:07 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 Wednesday, 9 December 2026, sunrise is at 07:21 am and sunset at 06:10 pm; moonrise is at 07:35 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 07:21 am–08:42 am; Amrit 08:42 am–10:04 am; Shubh 11:25 am–12:46 pm; Labh 04:49 pm–06:10 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.
