Aaj Ka Panchang — Today's Tithi, Nakshatra & Shubh Muhurat

The tithi running right now is shown at the top of this page, along with the time it ends. A tithi is one lunar day — the time the moon takes to gain 12 degrees on the sun — so it does not start at midnight and rarely lasts exactly 24 hours. Because it depends on your sunrise, the tithi in force at 6am can differ between two cities on the same date.

Today's Rahu Kaal for your location is shown in the Panchang card above, and the full breakdown with Yamaganda and Gulika is on the Rahu Kaal page. Rahu Kaal is the eighth part of the daytime, and which part it falls on depends on the weekday — so it has no fixed clock time and shifts with your local sunrise and sunset.

Yes. Daily Panchang, Choghadiya, Rahu Kaal, the festival and vrat calendar, the Vedic moon calendar and the Bhagavad Gita reader are all free and need no account. Signing in only saves your Kundli and your locations.

Drik Ganita. Every value is computed from the real astronomical positions of the sun and moon for your coordinates, not read off a pre-computed almanac table. This is the method most modern panchangs and Indian temples follow, and it is why Kaala's timings can differ by a few minutes from a printed regional panchang.

Tithi, nakshatra, sunrise, sunset and every muhurta window are derived from your exact latitude, longitude and timezone. Two cities in the same state can differ by several minutes, which is enough to move a muhurta boundary. Pick your city from the list on this page to get timings computed from its own coordinates.

Choghadiya divides the day and night into eight parts each, labelled Amrit, Shubh, Labh, Char, Rog, Kaal and Udveg, and is used for quick everyday decisions like when to leave on a journey. A muhurta such as Abhijit is a specific short window judged auspicious for beginning important work. Kaala shows both, calculated from the same local sunrise.

Open the Kundli page and enter your birth date, exact birth time and birth place. Kaala generates your Lagna and planetary positions, the D1 and D9 charts, your running Vimshottari Dasha, Ashtakavarga and the yogas in your chart. An account is needed so the chart is saved and your dasha stays current.
