How can I find today's Rahu Kaal timing?

What is Choghadiya and how is it calculated?

Choghadiya divides the day and night into 8 muhurats each, providing quick reference for auspicious and inauspicious times. Each Choghadiya lasts approximately 1.5 hours and is ruled by different planetary influences.

How do I find my birth nakshatra?

Panchang is a Hindu calendar system that provides daily astronomical and astrological information including tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (star), yoga, karana, and sunrise/sunset times. It's used to determine auspicious timings for various activities.

What is Abhijit Muhurat?

Abhijit Muhurat is considered the most auspicious time of the day, lasting for about 48 minutes around noon. It's believed to be ruled by Lord Vishnu and is considered ideal for starting new ventures, important meetings, and religious ceremonies.

What is Rahu Kaal and why should I avoid it?

Rahu Kaal is an inauspicious period of about 1.5 hours each day when Rahu (a shadow planet) is dominant. It's considered unfavorable for starting new activities, making important decisions, or beginning new ventures. The timing varies daily based on sunrise and sunset.

Choghadiya divides the day and night into 8 periods of 1.5 hours each, with each period having specific qualities (Shubh - auspicious, Labh - profitable, Amrit - nectar-like, Char - good, Rog - disease, Kaal - time, Udveg - anxiety). It helps choose the right time for different activities.

How accurate are the timings provided?

Our panchang calculations are based on precise astronomical algorithms and consider your specific location's coordinates, timezone, and local sunrise/sunset times. The calculations are updated regularly to ensure accuracy.

Can I use this for different cities?

Yes, you can select from 12 major Indian cities or use the location picker to get accurate panchang data for your specific location. The calculations automatically adjust for your city's coordinates and timezone.

What is the difference between Tithi and Nakshatra?

Tithi is a lunar day (about 24 hours) based on the Moon's position relative to the Sun, while Nakshatra is one of 27 star constellations that the Moon passes through during its monthly cycle. Both are important for determining auspicious timings.

How often should I check the panchang?

It's recommended to check the daily panchang each morning to plan your day according to auspicious timings. For important events like marriages, business launches, or house warming, check the specific muhurat timings well in advance.

When should I consult an astrologer?

Panchang provides traditional timing guidance based on celestial positions. For major life decisions—marriage dates, business launches, property purchases, naming ceremonies—consulting a Jyotishi (Vedic astrologer) is recommended. They analyze your birth chart (kundali) alongside the Panchang to provide personalized timing suited to your unique circumstances. This site gives you accurate astronomical data and traditional associations as a helpful starting point.
