Panchang
Today is Chaturthi of Shukla Paksha in Ashwin month, with the Moon in Anuradha Nakshatra. It is observed as Vinayaka Chaturthi. Rahu Kaal: 11:44 am–1:11 pm. The answers below are calculated for Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh and refresh every day.
On Wednesday, 14 October 2026, the tithi in Varanasi is Chaturthi, from 11:28 pm (prev day) to 01:14 am (next day), followed by Panchami, from 01:14 am (next day) to 03:26 am (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Ashwin (Amanta) / Ashwin (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Anuradha, from 01:43 am to 04:03 am (next day), then Jyeshtha, from 04:03 am (next day) to 06:47 am (next day) on Wednesday, 14 October 2026 in Varanasi. The Moon is in Scorpio and the Sun in Virgo.
Rahu Kaal in Varanasi today (Wednesday) runs from 11:44 am to 01:11 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, 14 October 2026, sunrise is at 05:55 am and sunset at 05:32 pm; moonrise is at 09:11 am. 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 05:55 am–07:22 am; Amrit 07:22 am–08:49 am; Shubh 10:16 am–11:44 am; Labh 04:05 pm–05:32 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.
