Panchang
Today is Saptami of Krishna Paksha in Magha month, with the Moon in Chitra Nakshatra. It is observed as Kalashtami. Rahu Kaal: 3:48 pm–5:10 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 12:42 pm to 1:26 pm. The answers below are calculated for Dwarka, Gujarat and refresh every day.
On Tuesday, 18 January 2028, the tithi in Dwarka is Saptami, from 03:13 pm (prev day) to 01:32 pm, followed by Ashtami, from 01:32 pm to 12:29 pm (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Pausha (Amanta) / Magha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Chitra, from 06:19 am to 05:43 am (next day), then Swati, from 05:43 am (next day) to 05:43 am (next day) on Tuesday, 18 January 2028 in Dwarka. The Moon is in Virgo and the Sun in Capricorn.
Rahu Kaal in Dwarka today (Tuesday) runs from 03:48 pm to 05:10 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 Tuesday, 18 January 2028, sunrise is at 07:35 am and sunset at 06:33 pm; moonrise is at 12:08 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Dwarka today is from 12:42 pm to 01:26 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Labh 11:42 am–01:04 pm; Amrit 01:04 pm–02:26 pm; Shubh 03:48 pm–05:10 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.
