Panchang
Today is Panchami of Krishna Paksha in Bhadrapada month, with the Moon in Bharani Nakshatra. It is observed as Hala Shashthi. Rahu Kaal: 11:57 am–1:32 pm. The answers below are calculated for Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh and refresh every day.
On Wednesday, 2 September 2026, the tithi in Varanasi is Panchami, from 07:43 am (prev day) to 06:13 am, followed by Shashthi, from 06:13 am to 04:27 am (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Shravana (Amanta) / Bhadrapada (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Bharani, from 02:42 am to 01:43 am (next day), then Krittika, from 01:43 am (next day) to 12:29 am (next day) on Wednesday, 2 September 2026 in Varanasi. The Moon is in Aries and the Sun in Leo.
Rahu Kaal in Varanasi today (Wednesday) runs from 11:57 am to 01:32 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 Varanasi on Wednesday, 2 September 2026, sunrise is at 05:38 am and sunset at 06:16 pm; moonrise is at 09:24 pm. 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 05:38 am–07:13 am; Amrit 07:13 am–08:48 am; Shubh 10:22 am–11:57 am; Labh 04:41 pm–06:16 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 Varanasi (25.32°N, 82.97°E) from the real positions of the Sun and Moon. Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana are shown with their start and end times, in Varanasi'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.
