Panchang
Today is Ashtami of Shukla Paksha in Margashirsha month, with the Moon in Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra. It is observed as Masik Durgashtami. Rahu Kaal: 4:54 pm–6:15 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 12:30 pm to 1:13 pm. The answers below are calculated for Dwarka, Gujarat and refresh every day.
On Sunday, 21 December 2031, the tithi in Dwarka is Ashtami, from 06:13 pm (prev day) to 04:58 pm, followed by Navami, from 04:58 pm to 04:21 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Margashirsha (Amanta) / Margashirsha (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Uttara Bhadrapada, from 03:18 am to 02:56 am (next day), then Revati, from 02:56 am (next day) to 03:11 am (next day) on Sunday, 21 December 2031 in Dwarka. The Moon is in Pisces and the Sun in Sagittarius.
Rahu Kaal in Dwarka today (Sunday) runs from 04:54 pm to 06:15 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 Sunday, 21 December 2031, sunrise is at 07:28 am and sunset at 06:15 pm; moonrise is at 12:53 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Dwarka today is from 12:30 pm to 01:13 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Labh 10:10 am–11:31 am; Amrit 11:31 am–12:51 pm; Shubh 02:12 pm–03:33 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.
