Panchang
Today is Pratipada of Shukla Paksha in Bhadrapada month, with the Moon in Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 8:48 am–10:21 am. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:29 am to 12:19 pm. The answers below are calculated for Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh and refresh every day.
On Saturday, 12 September 2026, the tithi in Varanasi is Pratipada, from 08:57 am (prev day) to 07:47 am, followed by Dwitiya, from 07:47 am to 07:09 am (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada (Amanta) / Bhadrapada (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Uttara Phalguni, from 01:16 pm (prev day) to 12:55 pm, then Hasta, from 12:55 pm to 01:07 pm (next day) on Saturday, 12 September 2026 in Varanasi. The Moon is in Virgo and the Sun in Leo.
Rahu Kaal in Varanasi today (Saturday) runs from 08:48 am to 10:21 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 Varanasi on Saturday, 12 September 2026, sunrise is at 05:42 am and sunset at 06:05 pm; moonrise is at 06:37 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Varanasi today is from 11:29 am to 12:19 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 07:15 am–08:48 am; Labh 01:27 pm–03:00 pm; Amrit 03:00 pm–04:33 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 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.
