Tithi Details

To find out what is the tithi today, we look at the lunar day. The primary tithi is Pratipada, which concludes at 07:02 AM. This tithi is associated with the deity Agni and belongs to the Nanda group. It is traditionally described as a Nanda (joy) tithi — traditionally good for festivities, celebrations and starting happy undertakings.

Following this, the Dwitiya tithi begins at 07:02 AM and lasts until 04:07 AM, 28 Oct. This period is linked to the deity Brahma and the Bhadra group. It is traditionally seen as a Bhadra (auspicious) tithi — traditionally good for health matters, yagna, gaining things.

Understanding today hindu calendar tithi helps in aligning daily activities with lunar energies.

Nakshatra Analysis

When checking tithi nakshatra today, the primary lunar mansion is Bharani, which remains active until 03:39 PM. This nakshatra is governed by the deity Yama and is of the Ugra (fierce) type. It is traditionally not preferred for auspicious beginnings; suited to firm, forceful tasks.

The subsequent nakshatra is Krittika, starting at 03:39 PM and ending at 01:26 PM, 28 Oct. Governed by Agni, it is of the Mishra (mixed) type and is traditionally of mixed results; suited to ritual fire and routine work.

Knowing the today nakshatra start and end time is essential for those planning specific rituals or new ventures.

Yoga and Karana

The yoga for the day is Siddhi, which lasts until 10:53 AM. This yoga is traditionally considered auspicious.

Later, the Vyatipata yoga begins at 10:53 AM and continues until 07:19 AM, 28 Oct, which is traditionally considered inauspicious.

Regarding the karana, the first is Kaulava, ending at 07:02 AM. It is a movable (Chara) karana and is auspicious, good for friendship and harmony.

The second karana is Taitila, from 07:02 AM to 05:36 PM, described as a movable (Chara) karana and is auspicious, good for gentle and household work.

These elements provide a deeper layer to the daily panchang today.

Weekday Significance

Today is Tuesday, which is ruled by the planet Mars and the deity Hanuman and Kartikeya. In Vedic tradition, each weekday carries a specific vibration that influences the general mood of the day. The day of Tuesday is traditionally associated with the qualities of Mars. By observing the daily panchang today, one can understand how the planetary ruler of the day interacts with the lunar positions to shape the overall energy of the environment.

Paksha and Month

To determine which paksha is today, we observe that the Krishna paksha is currently prevailing. Regarding which masa is going on now, the month is Ashwina.

According to the Purnimanta system, the month is Kartika.

The current era is marked by Vikram Samvat 2083 and Shaka Samvat 1948. The current season is Sharad, falling under the Dakshinayana. The Samvatsara names are Siddharthi for Vikram and Parabhava for Shaka.

Moon Sign and Rashi

For those seeking today nakshatra and rashi, the Moon is currently in the Aries sign until 09:07 PM. During this time, Chandrabalam is traditionally strong for those with signs Aries, Gemini, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio, Aquarius.

The Moon then transitions into the Taurus sign at 09:07 PM, remaining there until 10:07 PM, 29 Oct. In this phase, Chandrabalam is traditionally favorable for Taurus, Cancer, Leo, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Pisces until 06:03 AM, 28 Oct.

The movement of the Moon through the zodiac signs is a key component of any online panchang.

Festivals and Vrats

The Hindu calendar is rich with observances. Such days are traditionally used for spiritual purification and reflecting on the teachings of the Vedic scriptures to bring harmony into one's life.

Auspicious Timings

Selecting a shubh muhurat is traditionally believed to increase the likelihood of success. Based on today's panchang, the following auspicious windows are available:

Brahma Muhurta: 04:22 AM, 28 Oct to 05:12 AM, 28 Oct
Pratah Sandhya: 04:47 AM, 28 Oct to 06:03 AM, 28 Oct
Vijaya Muhurat: 01:35 PM to 02:20 PM
Godhuli Muhurat: 05:20 PM to 05:40 PM
Sayahna Sandhya: 05:21 PM to 06:37 PM

These timings are traditionally considered favorable for starting new tasks, meditation, or performing sacred rituals.

Inauspicious Timings

Certain periods of the day are traditionally avoided for beginning important work to minimize obstacles. The following timings are noted as ashubh:

Rahu Kaal: 02:32 PM to 03:56 PM
Yamaganda: 08:52 AM to 10:17 AM
Gulika Kaal: 11:42 AM to 01:07 PM
Dur Muhurtam 1: 08:18 AM to 09:04 AM
Dur Muhurtam 2: 11:19 AM to 12:04 PM
Varjyam 1: 02:33 AM, 28 Oct to 04:00 AM, 28 Oct

Tradition suggests avoiding critical signatures or new investments during these specific intervals.

Day and Night Duration

The length of the day and night varies according to the season and location. Today, the Dinamana (day duration) is 11 hours and 18 minutes. The Ratrimana (night duration) is 12 hours and 41 minutes. The sun is currently in the sign of Libra. These calculations are vital for determining the precise timing of various Vedic rituals and understanding the balance of solar and lunar energies for the day.

Directional and Elemental Influence

Vedic astrology considers the influence of directions and elements on daily activities. Today, the Disha Shool (forbidden direction) is North, meaning travel in this direction is traditionally avoided. The Agnivasa is in Prithvi, and the Shivavasa is with Gowri. Additionally, the Chandra Vasa is in the North and the Rahu Vasa is in the South. The Homahuti is associated with Mangal and the Anandadi Yoga is Musala.

Practical Application

To make the most of today's panchang, consider these traditional applications: First, use the Abhijit Muhurat or Vijaya Muhurat for important meetings or starting a new project to invite positive energy. Second, avoid scheduling critical appointments or travel toward the North direction during Rahu Kaal. Third, align your spiritual practices or meditation during the Brahma Muhurta for maximum mental clarity. Finally, refer to the Ugra (fierce) nature of the current nakshatra to decide if today is better suited for gentle undertakings or swift actions.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is shown in the Panchang table above, calculated at sunrise for the city you select. Pick your city from the dropdown to get the tithi that applies to you.

No. The five limbs are read at local sunrise, so cities far apart in longitude can show a different tithi or nakshatra on the same date.

At sunrise, not at midnight. A reading dated today stays in force until tomorrow's sunrise at your place.

Lahiri (Chitrapaksha), the standard used by the Indian national calendar and by most published panchangs.

Yes — use the date picker above. You can move day by day with the arrows or jump to any date to plan ahead.

Because a nakshatra rarely lasts exactly one day. The table lists the one running at sunrise and the one that follows it, each with its own start and end time, so you can see precisely when the change-over happens.

Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the daylight, its position set by the weekday. New undertakings, journeys and major purchases are traditionally avoided during it — work already in progress is not stopped. Yamaganda and Gulika Kaal are read the same way.

Abhijit is the eighth of the day's fifteen muhurtas, straddling midday, and is used when no other auspicious window is available. On Wednesday that slot is counted as Dur Muhurtam instead, so the Panchang shows no Abhijit for that day.

Both are computed from the running nakshatra. Varjyam is a window to be rejected for new work; Amrit Kalam is the same window twenty ghatis (about eight hours) later and is considered especially favourable for beginnings.

Dinamana is the length of the day from sunrise to sunset and Ratrimana the length of the night that follows. Every muhurat on this page is a fraction of one of them, which is why all the timings shift through the year and between cities.
