Aaj Ka Panchang

Today's Hindu Panchang for your city: the five limbs with their end times, sunrise and sunset, good and bad times of the day, and the festivals coming up.

The five limbs of the Panchang

Tithi is the lunar day: each time the Moon gains 12 degrees on the Sun a new tithi begins, 30 in a lunar month. Nakshatra is the Moon's lunar mansion, one of 27. Yoga is formed by the combined longitude of the Sun and Moon, one of 27. Karana is half a tithi. Vaara is the weekday.

A printed Panchang names each day by the tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana running at sunrise, with the time each one ends. This Panchang follows that convention and is calculated with the Swiss Ephemeris (Lahiri ayanamsa) for the city you choose.

Today's Panchang is for everyone. Your year is yours.

The 12 Months Forecast follows Saturn, Jupiter and Rahu-Ketu through your own birth chart, month by month, with the auspicious windows and caution periods for you.

Good and bad times

Brahma Muhurta (the 96 to 48 minutes before sunrise) and Abhijit Muhurta (around midday) are traditionally auspicious, along with the Amrit, Shubh and Labh Choghadiya. Rahu Kaal, Yamagandam and Gulika Kaal are traditionally avoided for new beginnings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Aaj ki tithi kya hai?

Today's tithi, with its end time, is shown at the top of this page for the city you choose.

Why does the Panchang change by city?

Sunrise and sunset differ between cities, so the tithi at sunrise, Rahu Kaal and the Choghadiya differ too.
