Panchang
Today is Ashtami of Krishna Paksha in Phalguna month, with the Moon in Vishakha Nakshatra. It is observed as Kalashtami. Rahu Kaal: 2:34 pm–4:00 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 12:45 pm to 1:31 pm. The answers below are calculated for Dwarka, Gujarat and refresh every day.
On Thursday, 17 February 2028, the tithi in Dwarka is Ashtami, from 01:46 am to 01:42 am (next day), followed by Navami, from 01:42 am (next day) to 02:25 am (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Magha (Amanta) / Phalguna (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Vishakha, from 12:26 pm (prev day) to 12:32 pm, then Anuradha, from 12:32 pm to 01:25 pm (next day) on Thursday, 17 February 2028 in Dwarka. The Moon is in Scorpio and the Sun in Aquarius.
Rahu Kaal in Dwarka today (Thursday) runs from 02:34 pm to 04:00 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 Thursday, 17 February 2028, sunrise is at 07:24 am and sunset at 06:52 pm; moonrise is at 12:58 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Dwarka today is from 12:45 pm to 01:31 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 07:24 am–08:50 am; Labh 01:08 pm–02:34 pm; Amrit 02:34 pm–04:00 pm; Shubh 05:26 pm–06:52 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.
