Panchang
Today is Tritiya of Krishna Paksha in Pausha month, with the Moon in Punarvasu Nakshatra. It is observed as Sankashti Chaturthi and Dhanu Sankranti. Rahu Kaal: 2:10 pm–3:31 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 12:27 pm to 1:11 pm. The answers below are calculated for Dwarka, Gujarat and refresh every day.
On Thursday, 16 December 2027, the tithi in Dwarka is Tritiya, from 04:14 pm (prev day) to 01:22 pm, followed by Chaturthi, from 01:22 pm to 10:35 am (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Margashirsha (Amanta) / Pausha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Punarvasu, from 11:21 am (prev day) to 09:13 am, then Pushya, from 09:13 am to 07:07 am (next day) on Thursday, 16 December 2027 in Dwarka. The Moon is in Cancer and the Sun in Scorpio.
Rahu Kaal in Dwarka today (Thursday) runs from 02:10 pm to 03:31 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, 16 December 2027, sunrise is at 07:25 am and sunset at 06:13 pm; moonrise is at 09:10 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Dwarka today is from 12:27 pm to 01:11 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 07:25 am–08:46 am; Labh 12:49 pm–02:10 pm; Amrit 02:10 pm–03:31 pm; Shubh 04:52 pm–06:13 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.
