Panchang
Today is Ashtami of Shukla Paksha in Bhadrapada month, with the Moon in Mula Nakshatra. It is observed as Radha Ashtami, Mahalakshmi Vrat Begins and Masik Durgashtami. Rahu Kaal: 8:48 am–10:20 am. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:27 am to 12:16 pm. The answers below are calculated for Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh and refresh every day.
On Saturday, 19 September 2026, the tithi in Varanasi is Ashtami, from 01:02 pm (prev day) to 03:28 pm, followed by Navami, from 03:28 pm to 05:52 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada (Amanta) / Bhadrapada (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Mula, from 10:44 pm (prev day) to 01:43 am (next day), then Purva Ashadha, from 01:43 am (next day) to 04:34 am (next day) on Saturday, 19 September 2026 in Varanasi. The Moon is in Sagittarius and the Sun in Virgo.
Rahu Kaal in Varanasi today (Saturday) runs from 08:48 am to 10:20 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, 19 September 2026, sunrise is at 05:45 am and sunset at 05:58 pm; moonrise is at 01:09 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Varanasi today is from 11:27 am to 12:16 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 07:16 am–08:48 am; Labh 01:23 pm–02:55 pm; Amrit 02:55 pm–04:26 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.
