Panchang FAQ

What is a Tithi?▾

A Tithi is a lunar day in the Hindu calendar. There are 30 tithis in a lunar month — 15 in the bright fortnight (Shukla Paksha) and 15 in the dark fortnight (Krishna Paksha). Today's Tithi is Chaturthi (Shukla Paksha, day 4).

What is Rahu Kaal and should I avoid it?▾

Rahu Kaal is an approximately 90-minute inauspicious period each day governed by Rahu. Today it runs from 14:11 to 15:53 IST. Starting new ventures, making important decisions, or travelling during this window is traditionally avoided.

What is Abhijit Muhurta?▾

Abhijit Muhurta is the most auspicious time window of the day — roughly 24 minutes centred around solar noon. Today it falls between 12:04 and 12:52 IST. It overrides most inauspicious yogas and is ideal when no other favourable muhurta is available.

What is a Nakshatra?▾

A Nakshatra is one of 27 lunar mansions — star clusters the Moon transits through. Each spans 13°20′ of the zodiac. Today's Nakshatra is Hasta. The Nakshatra influences auspiciousness for travel, ceremonies, and starting new activities.
