Panchang
Today is Saptami of Krishna Paksha in Ashwin month, with the Moon in Ardra Nakshatra. It is observed as Jivitputrika Vrat, Mahalakshmi Vrat Ends, Kalashtami and Ashtami Shraddha. Rahu Kaal: 9:10 am–10:39 am. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:44 am to 12:31 pm. The answers below are calculated for Mathura, Uttar Pradesh and refresh every day.
On Saturday, 3 October 2026, the tithi in Mathura is Saptami, from 10:16 am (prev day) to 08:00 am, followed by Ashtami, from 08:00 am to 05:52 am (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Bhadrapada (Amanta) / Ashwin (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Ardra, from 02:55 am to 01:29 am (next day), then Punarvasu, from 01:29 am (next day) to 12:13 am (next day) on Saturday, 3 October 2026 in Mathura. The Moon is in Gemini and the Sun in Virgo.
Rahu Kaal in Mathura today (Saturday) runs from 09:10 am to 10:39 am. 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 Mathura on Saturday, 3 October 2026, sunrise is at 06:12 am and sunset at 06:03 pm; moonrise is at 11:28 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Mathura today is from 11:44 am to 12:31 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 07:41 am–09:10 am; Labh 01:37 pm–03:05 pm; Amrit 03:05 pm–04:34 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 Mathura (27.49°N, 77.67°E) from the real positions of the Sun and Moon. Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana are shown with their start and end times, in Mathura'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.
