Panchang Today Calculator

Panchang (Panchangam) is the Hindu almanac that tracks five elements (pancha anga) of time: Tithi (lunar day), Nakshatra (lunar mansion), Yoga (Sun-Moon combination), Karana (half-tithi), and Vara (weekday from sunrise). Today panchang shows the current values of these five elements plus Rahu Kaal, shubh muhurat, and sunrise sunset timings for your city.

Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is an inauspicious period ruled by the shadow planet Rahu, lasting approximately 1.5 hours daily. It is considered unfavorable for starting new ventures, signing contracts, or beginning journeys. Rahu Kaal today timing varies by weekday and your city location. Enter your date and city above to see the exact Rahu Kaal time today.

Shubh muhurat (auspicious time) includes several favorable windows each day. Abhijit Muhurta around midday is universally favorable. Brahma Muhurta before sunrise is ideal for spiritual practices. Vijaya Muhurta is favorable for victory in endeavors. Use this panchang calculator to find all shubh muhurat timings for your city today.

Tithi is a lunar day based on the angular separation between the Sun and Moon (each tithi spans 12 degrees). Unlike solar calendar days which are fixed at 24 hours, a tithi can range from 19 to 26 hours. There are 30 tithis in a lunar month, divided into Shukla Paksha (waxing) and Krishna Paksha (waning).

This panchang calculator uses precise astronomical calculations with the Lahiri ayanamsha, the official standard adopted by the Indian government. All planetary positions use high-precision ephemeris data. Results match authoritative panchangam sources like Drik Panchang for any date and city.
