Panchang
Today is Pratipada of Shukla Paksha in Pausha month, with the Moon in Purva Ashadha Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 11:39 am–1:00 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 12:38 pm to 1:22 pm. The answers below are calculated for Dwarka, Gujarat and refresh every day.
On Friday, 8 January 2027, the tithi in Dwarka is Pratipada, from 01:55 am to 04:34 am (next day), followed by Dwitiya, from 04:34 am (next day) to 07:08 am (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Pausha (Amanta) / Pausha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Purva Ashadha, from 09:13 am to 09:13 am, then Uttara Ashadha, from 09:13 am to 12:16 pm (next day) on Friday, 8 January 2027 in Dwarka. The Moon is in Sagittarius and the Sun in Sagittarius.
Rahu Kaal in Dwarka today (Friday) runs from 11:39 am to 01:00 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 Friday, 8 January 2027, sunrise is at 07:34 am and sunset at 06:26 pm; moonrise is at 07:57 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Dwarka today is from 12:38 pm to 01:22 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Labh 08:56 am–10:17 am; Amrit 10:17 am–11:39 am; Shubh 01:00 pm–02:22 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.
