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 Dashami (Krishna Paksha, day 10).

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 14:59 to 16:16 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 12:00 and 12:48 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 Vishakha. The Nakshatra influences auspiciousness for travel, ceremonies, and starting new activities.

Calculated using astronomical algorithms (VSOP87 simplified, Brown's lunar theory) and SunCalc for rise/set times. All times are in IST (UTC+5:30). Consult a qualified jyotishi for personal muhurta guidance.
