Panchang
Today is Dashami of Shukla Paksha in Bhadrapada month, with the Moon in Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 7:17 am–8:48 am. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:26 am to 12:15 pm. The answers below are calculated for Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh and refresh every day.
On Monday, 21 September 2026, the tithi in Varanasi is Dashami, from 05:52 pm (prev day) to 08:02 pm, followed by Ekadashi, from 08:02 pm to 09:44 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada (Amanta) / Bhadrapada (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Uttara Ashadha, from 04:34 am to 07:07 am (next day), then Shravana, from 07:07 am (next day) to 09:08 am (next day) on Monday, 21 September 2026 in Varanasi. The Moon is in Sagittarius and the Sun in Virgo.
Rahu Kaal in Varanasi today (Monday) runs from 07:17 am to 08:48 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 Monday, 21 September 2026, sunrise is at 05:46 am and sunset at 05:56 pm; moonrise is at 02:39 pm. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Varanasi today is from 11:26 am to 12:15 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Amrit 05:46 am–07:17 am; Shubh 08:48 am–10:19 am; Labh 02:53 pm–04:24 pm; Amrit 04:24 pm–05:56 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.
