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 Details

To find out what is the tithi today, we look at the lunar day. The primary tithi for the day is Tritiya, which lasts until 01:07 AM, 29 Oct. This tithi is associated with the deity Gauri (Parvati) and belongs to the Jaya group. It is traditionally described as a Jaya (victory) tithi — traditionally good for contests, tasks needing success, learning and arts. The second tithi of the day is Chaturthi, starting at 01:07 AM, 29 Oct and ending at 10:11 PM, 29 Oct. This tithi is linked to Ganesha and is a Rikta (empty) tithi — traditionally avoided for new auspicious beginnings. Understanding today hindu calendar tithi helps in planning spiritual activities.

Nakshatra Analysis

When checking tithi nakshatra today, the primary lunar mansion is Krittika, which remains active until 01:26 PM. This nakshatra is governed by the deity Agni and is categorized as Mishra (mixed). According to tradition, it is traditionally of mixed results; suited to ritual fire and routine work. Following this, the Rohini nakshatra begins at 01:26 PM and lasts until 11:12 AM, 29 Oct. This second nakshatra is associated with Brahma (Prajapati), is of the Dhruva (fixed) type, and is traditionally favoured for lasting work — foundations, planting, taking up positions. Knowing the today nakshatra start and end time is essential for selecting auspicious moments.

Yoga and Karana

The yoga for the day is Vyatipata, which ends at 07:19 AM and is traditionally considered inauspicious. This is followed by Variyan yoga starting at 07:19 AM, which is traditionally considered mixed. Regarding the karana, the first is Vanija, ending at 02:37 PM. It is a movable (Chara) karana and is good for trade and business. The second karana is Vishti, from 02:37 PM to 01:07 AM, 29 Oct, which is a movable (Chara) karana — Bhadra and is inauspicious: traditionally avoided for auspicious beginnings. The third karana is Bava, starting at 01:07 AM, 29 Oct. These elements provide a deeper layer to the daily panchang today.

Weekday Significance

Today is Wednesday, which is ruled by the planet Mercury. In Vedic tradition, this day is dedicated to the deity Ganesha and Vishnu. Each weekday carries a specific energy that influences the general mood and suitability of various activities. The day Wednesday is traditionally associated with certain colors and rituals to honor Ganesha and Vishnu. By observing the daily panchang today, one can align their actions with the planetary energy of Mercury to maintain harmony and balance throughout the day.

Paksha and Month

To determine which paksha is today, we observe the lunar fortnight, which is currently the Krishna paksha. The current lunar month is Ashwina. In the Purnimanta system, the month is Kartika. We are currently in the Sharad season and the Dakshinayana period. For those wondering which masa is going on now, it is the month of Ashwina. This period falls under the Vikram Samvat 2083 and Shaka Samvat 1948, with the respective samvatsaras being Siddharthi and Parabhava.

Moon Sign and Rashi

For today nakshatra and rashi, the Moon is positioned in Taurus until 10:07 PM, 29 Oct. This placement provides Chandrabalam for those with signs Taurus, Cancer, Leo, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Pisces until 06:04 AM, 29 Oct. The Moon's movement through the zodiac is a key component of an online panchang, as it influences the emotional and mental state of individuals based on their birth rashi.

Festivals and Vrats

Observing the today hindu calendar tithi allows us to identify important spiritual observances. There are no major festivals listed for today. These days are traditionally used for fasting, prayer, and community gatherings. Whether it is a monthly vrat or a yearly festival, these dates are calculated based on the precise alignment of the tithi and nakshatra to ensure the spiritual efficacy of the rituals performed.

Auspicious Timings

Selecting a shubh muhurat is a traditional way to ensure success in new ventures. Based on today's panchang, the following auspicious windows are available:

Brahma Muhurta: 04:22 AM, 29 Oct to 05:13 AM, 29 Oct
Vijaya Muhurat: 01:35 PM to 02:20 PM
Godhuli Muhurat: 05:19 PM to 05:39 PM
Amrit Kalam 1: 11:16 AM to 12:43 PM

These timings are traditionally considered favorable for starting important work or performing sacred ceremonies.

Inauspicious Timings

In Vedic tradition, certain periods are considered less favorable for starting new tasks. The following ashubh samay should be noted for the day:

Rahu Kaal: 11:42 AM to 01:06 PM
Yamaganda: 07:28 AM to 08:52 AM
Gulika Kaal: 10:17 AM to 11:42 AM
Dur Muhurtam 1: 11:19 AM to 12:04 PM
Varjyam 1: 03:57 AM, 29 Oct to 05:24 AM, 29 Oct

These intervals are traditionally avoided for signing contracts, traveling, or initiating auspicious events.

Day and Night Duration

The length of the day and night varies based on the position of the Sun. Today, the Dinamana is 11 hours and 17 minutes. The Ratrimana, or the duration of the night, is 12 hours and 43 minutes. The Sun is currently in the sign of Libra. These calculations are vital for determining the precise timing of sandhyas and other time-bound rituals. The balance between day and night influences the overall energy of the environment and the timing of daily prayers.

Directional and Elemental Vasa

Vedic astrology provides guidance on directions and elemental placements. Today, the Disha Shool is North, meaning travel in this direction is traditionally avoided. The Agnivasa is Patala, and the Shivavasa is in Kridha. Additionally, the Chandra Vasa is in the West and Rahu Vasa is in the South-West. The Homahuti is associated with Shukra, and the Anandadi Yoga is Siddhi. These factors are traditionally used to determine the best placement for altars or the direction of travel.

Practical Application

You can use the information from the daily panchang today in several practical ways. First, use the shubh muhurat timings to schedule important meetings or start a new project. Second, check the tithi and nakshatra to align your spiritual practices or fasting with the lunar cycle. Third, avoid the Rahu Kaal and Disha Shool when planning travel or critical conversations. Finally, use the Moon sign and Chandrabalam to understand your emotional tendencies and plan your day's activities accordingly for better mental peace.
