Panchang
Today is Dwadashi of Shukla Paksha in Bhadrapada month, with the Moon in Shravana Nakshatra. It is observed as Vamana Jayanti. Rahu Kaal: 11:50 am–1:21 pm. The answers below are calculated for Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh and refresh every day.
On Wednesday, 23 September 2026, the tithi in Varanasi is Dwadashi, from 09:44 pm (prev day) to 10:51 pm, followed by Trayodashi, from 10:51 pm to 11:19 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada (Amanta) / Bhadrapada (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Shravana, from 07:07 am (prev day) to 09:09 am, then Dhanishta, from 09:09 am to 10:35 am (next day) on Wednesday, 23 September 2026 in Varanasi. The Moon is in Capricorn and the Sun in Virgo.
Rahu Kaal in Varanasi today (Wednesday) runs from 11:50 am to 01:21 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, 23 September 2026, sunrise is at 05:46 am and sunset at 05:53 pm; moonrise is at 03:53 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 05:46 am–07:17 am; Amrit 07:17 am–08:48 am; Shubh 10:19 am–11:50 am; Labh 04:23 pm–05:53 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.
