Tithi Details

To find out what is the tithi today, we look at the lunar day. The primary tithi for the day is Purnima, which is traditionally associated with the deity Chandra. This tithi belongs to the Purna group and is described as a Purna (full) tithi — traditionally good for completing and finalising work.. As the day progresses, the tithi changes to Pratipada at 09:42 AM. This second tithi is associated with Agni and is a Nanda (joy) tithi — traditionally good for festivities, celebrations and starting happy undertakings. Understanding today tithi helps in aligning daily activities with lunar energies.

Nakshatra Analysis

When checking tithi nakshatra today, the primary lunar mansion is Ashwini. The today nakshatra start and end time for this period is from 07:22 PM, 25 Oct until 05:41 PM. This nakshatra is governed by the deity Ashwini Kumaras and is categorized as Kshipra (swift). According to tradition, it is traditionally favoured for trade, learning, medicine and quick beginnings. Following this, Bharani begins at 05:41 PM. This subsequent nakshatra is associated with Yama, is of the Ugra (fierce) type, and is traditionally favoured for traditionally not preferred for auspicious beginnings; suited to firm, forceful tasks.

Yoga and Karana

The daily panchang today highlights the yoga as Vajra, which lasts until 02:17 PM and is traditionally considered mixed. This is followed by Siddhi yoga, which is traditionally considered auspicious. Regarding the karana, the first is Bava, which is a movable (Chara) karana and is auspicious, good for most work. The second karana is Balava, a movable (Chara) karana, which is auspicious, good for rituals and learning. The third karana is Kaulava. These elements provide a deeper look into the energetic quality of the day for those using an online panchang.

Weekday Significance

Today is Monday, which is ruled by the planet Moon. In Vedic tradition, this day is dedicated to the deity Shiva. Each weekday carries a specific vibration that influences the general mood and suitability of various tasks. The influence of Moon is traditionally considered to impact the day's energy, making it a point of interest for those seeking a comprehensive panchang for the day to plan their spiritual or material pursuits.

Paksha and Month

To determine which paksha is today, we observe that the moon is in the Shukla paksha. The current lunar month is Ashwina. For those wondering which masa is going on now, the month of Ashwina falls within the Sharad season and the Dakshinayana ayana. The current year is 2083 in Vikram Samvat and 1948 in Shaka Samvat, under the Siddharthi and Parabhava samvatsaras respectively.

Moon Sign and Rashi

Looking at today nakshatra and rashi, the Moon is initially placed in Aries until 09:07 PM, 27 Oct. During this time, Chandrabalam is traditionally strong for those with rashi in Aries, Gemini, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio, Aquarius.. The position of the moon is a key factor in calculating the emotional and mental tone of the day.

Festivals and Vrats

The today hindu calendar tithi may coincide with special observances. Today is marked by the celebration of Ashwina Purnima, which is a time for traditional rituals and devotion.. Additionally, the presence of Panchak is noted, and Panchak is not active today.

Auspicious Timings

Selecting the right time for new beginnings is a core part of using today's panchang. The following windows are traditionally considered auspicious for various activities:

Brahma Muhurta: 04:21 AM, 27 Oct to 05:12 AM, 27 Oct
Abhijit Muhurat: 11:19 AM to 12:05 PM
Vijaya Muhurat: 01:35 PM to 02:21 PM
Godhuli Muhurat: 05:21 PM to 05:41 PM

These timings are traditionally used to maximize the positive energy of an undertaking.

Inauspicious Timings

Traditional Vedic wisdom suggests avoiding certain periods for important work. The following timings are traditionally considered less favorable:

Rahu Kaal: 07:27 AM to 08:52 AM
Yamaganda: 10:17 AM to 11:42 AM
Gulika Kaal: 01:07 PM to 02:32 PM
Dur Muhurtam 1: 12:05 PM to 12:50 PM
Dur Muhurtam 2: 02:21 PM to 03:06 PM

These intervals are traditionally avoided for signing contracts or starting new journeys.

Day and Night Duration

The length of the day and night varies by location and season. For today, the Dinamana (day duration) is 11 hours and 19 minutes. The Ratrimana (night duration) is 12 hours and 40 minutes. The sun is currently in the sign of Libra. These measurements are used in traditional calculations to determine the strength of various planetary influences and the overall balance of the day.

Directional and Planetary Vasas

Vedic tradition identifies specific directions and placements that influence the day. The Disha Shool (directional obstacle) today is East. Other traditional placements include Agnivasa in Patala, Shivavasa in Shamshan, and Chandra Vasa in the West. Additionally, Rahu Vasa is in the North-West. These placements are traditionally used to determine the most favorable direction for travel or the placement of sacred fires during rituals.

Practical Application

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.
