Panchang
Today is Pratipada of Krishna Paksha in Pausha month, with the Moon in Ardra Nakshatra. It is observed as Ishti and Margashirsha Purnima. Rahu Kaal: 2:14 pm–3:35 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 12:32 pm to 1:15 pm. The answers below are calculated for Dwarka, Gujarat and refresh every day.
On Thursday, 24 December 2026, the tithi in Dwarka is Pratipada, from 06:58 am to 03:08 am (next day), followed by Dwitiya, from 03:08 am (next day) to 11:27 pm (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Margashirsha (Amanta) / Pausha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Ardra, from 04:53 am to 01:47 am (next day), then Punarvasu, from 01:47 am (next day) to 10:50 pm (next day) on Thursday, 24 December 2026 in Dwarka. The Moon is in Gemini and the Sun in Sagittarius.
Rahu Kaal in Dwarka today (Thursday) runs from 02:14 pm to 03:35 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, 24 December 2026, sunrise is at 07:30 am and sunset at 06:17 pm; moonrise is at 06:38 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Dwarka today is from 12:32 pm to 01:15 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 07:30 am–08:50 am; Labh 12:53 pm–02:14 pm; Amrit 02:14 pm–03:35 pm; Shubh 04:56 pm–06:17 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.
