Panchang
Today is Ashtami of Krishna Paksha in Pausha month, with the Moon in Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 12:50 pm–2:11 pm. The answers below are calculated for Dwarka, Gujarat and refresh every day.
On Wednesday, 18 December 2030, the tithi in Dwarka is Ashtami, from 05:31 pm (prev day) to 05:21 pm, followed by Navami, from 05:21 pm to 04:27 pm (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Margashirsha (Amanta) / Pausha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Uttara Phalguni, from 08:04 pm (prev day) to 08:25 pm, then Hasta, from 08:25 pm to 08:02 pm (next day) on Wednesday, 18 December 2030 in Dwarka. The Moon is in Virgo and the Sun in Sagittarius.
Rahu Kaal in Dwarka today (Wednesday) runs from 12:50 pm to 02:11 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, 18 December 2030, sunrise is at 07:27 am and sunset at 06:14 pm; moonrise is at 12:39 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 07:27 am–08:47 am; Amrit 08:47 am–10:08 am; Shubh 11:29 am–12:50 pm; Labh 04:53 pm–06:14 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.
