Panchang
Today is Navami of Krishna Paksha in Jyeshtha month, with the Moon in Shatabhisha Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 12:50 pm–2:29 pm. The answers below are calculated for Dwarka, Gujarat and refresh every day.
On Wednesday, 17 May 2028, the tithi in Dwarka is Navami, from 05:28 am to 07:56 am (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Vaishakha (Amanta) / Jyeshtha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Shatabhisha, from 02:01 am to 05:03 am (next day), then Purva Bhadrapada, from 05:03 am (next day) to 07:53 am (next day) on Wednesday, 17 May 2028 in Dwarka. The Moon is in Aquarius and the Sun in Taurus.
Rahu Kaal in Dwarka today (Wednesday) runs from 12:50 pm to 02:29 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 Wednesday, 17 May 2028, sunrise is at 06:13 am and sunset at 07:27 pm; moonrise is at 01:34 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
There is no Abhijit Muhurat today (Wednesday). Traditionally it is not observed on Wednesdays.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Labh 06:13 am–07:52 am; Amrit 07:52 am–09:31 am; Shubh 11:11 am–12:50 pm; Labh 05:48 pm–07:27 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.
