What is today's tithi?

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.

Is the daily Panchang the same all over India?

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.

When does the Panchang change over to the next day?

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

Which ayanamsha is used?

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

Can I see the Panchang for a past or future date?

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

Why does today's Panchang show two nakshatras?

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.

What is Rahu Kaal and should I avoid it?

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.

What is Abhijit Muhurat, and why does it sometimes say None?

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.

What are Varjyam and Amrit Kalam?

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.

What do Dinamana and Ratrimana mean?

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.

Tithi Analysis

The primary tithi for this day is Trayodashi, which concludes at 10:16 PM. In Vedic tradition, the tithi is governed by the deity Kamadeva and belongs to the Jaya group. This is a Jaya (victory) tithi — traditionally good for contests, tasks needing success, learning and arts. Following this, the Chaturdashi tithi begins, which is associated with the deity Shiva and the Rikta group. This is a Rikta (empty) tithi — traditionally avoided for new auspicious beginnings. Understanding the tithi is a core part of using an online panchang to align activities with lunar energy.

Nakshatra Influence

The day begins under the influence of the Purva Phalguni nakshatra, which lasts until 09:20 PM. This stellar mansion is ruled by the deity Bhaga and is categorized as Ugra (fierce). According to tradition, this nakshatra is traditionally not preferred for auspicious beginnings; suited to firm, forceful tasks. After the transition, the Uttara Phalguni nakshatra takes over, governed by Aryaman. It is of the Dhruva (fixed) type and is traditionally favoured for lasting work — foundations, planting, taking up positions. The nakshatra provides a deeper layer of timing for those seeking a panchang for the day to plan specific rituals.

Yoga and Karana

The prevailing yoga at the start of this day is Shukla, which ends at 12:58 AM, 9 Oct. This yoga is traditionally considered auspicious. Subsequently, the Brahma yoga begins, which is traditionally considered auspicious. Regarding the karana, the day starts with Gara, which is a movable (Chara) karana and is good for agriculture and sustained effort. This is followed by Vanija, a movable (Chara) karana that is good for trade and business. These elements help in refining the auspiciousness of the day's activities.

Weekday Significance

This day is Thursday, which is ruled by the planet Jupiter. In the Vedic tradition, the deities associated with this weekday are Vishnu and Brihaspati. Each weekday carries a specific vibration that influences the general mood and success of certain tasks. Traditionally, the energy of Jupiter makes this day suitable for activities that align with the qualities of the ruling planet and the blessings of Vishnu and Brihaspati.

Lunar Month and Paksha

The current lunar fortnight is the Krishna paksha. When considering which masa is going on now, the month is Bhadrapada (Ashwina according to the Purnimanta calendar). This period falls within the Sharad season and the Dakshinayana ayana. The current era is marked by the Vikram Samvat 2083 and Shaka Samvat 1948, with the respective samvatsaras being Siddharthi and Parabhava.

Moon Sign and Chandrabalam

The Moon is positioned in the Leo sign until 03:18 AM, 9 Oct. During this time, Chandrabalam is traditionally strong for those with Moon signs in Gemini, Leo, Libra, Scorpio, Aquarius, Pisces. Later, the Moon moves into the Virgo sign, and Chandrabalam is then considered favorable for Aries, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Pisces until 05:53 AM, 9 Oct. The lunar position is essential for determining the emotional and mental tone of the day.

Festivals and Vrats

This day is marked by the celebration of Guru Pradosh (Krishna), Ashwina Masik Shivratri, Trayodashi Shraddha. Such festivals are traditionally observed with specific prayers, fasting, and rituals to honor the divine. Observing the traditional vrat or tyohar associated with the lunar calendar is believed to bring spiritual growth and harmony into the practitioner's life.
