Panchang
Today is Dwadashi of Shukla Paksha in Margashirsha month, with the Moon in Bharani Nakshatra. It is observed as Soma Pradosh Vrat. Rahu Kaal: 8:49 am–10:10 am. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 12:30 pm to 1:13 pm. The answers below are calculated for Dwarka, Gujarat and refresh every day.
On Monday, 21 December 2026, the tithi in Dwarka is Dwadashi, from 08:15 pm (prev day) to 05:37 pm, followed by Trayodashi, from 05:37 pm to 02:24 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Margashirsha (Amanta) / Margashirsha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Bharani, from 02:55 pm (prev day) to 01:09 pm, then Krittika, from 01:09 pm to 10:45 am (next day) on Monday, 21 December 2026 in Dwarka. The Moon is in Aries and the Sun in Sagittarius.
Rahu Kaal in Dwarka today (Monday) runs from 08:49 am to 10:10 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 Dwarka on Monday, 21 December 2026, sunrise is at 07:28 am and sunset at 06:15 pm; moonrise is at 03:28 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Dwarka today is from 12:30 pm to 01:13 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Amrit 07:28 am–08:49 am; Shubh 10:10 am–11:31 am; Labh 03:33 pm–04:54 pm; Amrit 04:54 pm–06:15 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.
