Today's Panchang

The Panchang is the Vedic almanac of the day — read from the Moon and Sun, it tells you the texture of the hours: the five limbs, the auspicious and inauspicious windows, and the Choghadiya for timing what matters.

How to read your Panchang

The Hindu day runs sunrise to sunrise, so today's limbs are computed from this morning's sky. Use the Choghadiya and Abhijit Muhurat for the best windows to begin something, and steer clear of Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda and Gulika for new ventures, signings or journeys. The tithi and nakshatra set the day's mood; their end-times tell you when the energy turns.

Computed for a North-India reference (New Delhi, India). Times shift with your own location — a location picker is on the way.
