What today's panchang tells you
A panchang has five limbs: tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and vaara. Today is Monday; Ashtami of Kartik Krishna Paksha lasts until 7:40 AM, and the Moon is in Ashlesha nakshatra. A Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise, so each limb is the one running at sunrise, shown with the time it ends. We compute the Sun and Moon positions ourselves and subtract the Lahiri ayanamsha to get Indian (sidereal) positions. Rahu kaal, yamaganda and choghadiya divide the length of the day into equal parts, so they shift a little from city to city. This page uses London time; pick your city from the list above. Read the full method in plain words on how our panchang is calculated.
What time is rahu kaal today?
Today, Monday 2 November 2026, rahu kaal in London runs from 8:08 AM to 9:20 AM. By tradition, people avoid starting new work, purchases or journeys in this window. Your city's time may differ by a few minutes.
Which tithi is it today?
Today is Ashtami of Kartik Krishna Paksha, lasting until 7:40 AM. After that, Navami begins. A tithi is set by the angle between the Sun and the Moon.
Frequently asked questions
Which nakshatra is it today?
Today the Moon is in Ashlesha nakshatra until 10:16 PM, after which Magha begins. The nakshatra comes from the Moon's sidereal (Indian) position; each of the 27 lasts about a day.
When is abhijit muhurat today?
Abhijit muhurat in London today is 11:25 AM – 12:03 PM, a window of about 48 minutes around local noon considered good for starting important work.
What time are sunrise and sunset today?
In London today, sunrise is at 6:56 AM and sunset at 4:32 PM. The panchang day runs from one sunrise to the next, so rahu kaal, choghadiya and the tithi are all counted from this sunrise.
When is the next ekadashi?
The next ekadashi is Rama Ekadashi on 4 November 2026, 2 days from today. Ekadashi is kept on the day the ekadashi tithi is present at sunrise. See the ekadashi page for the full year's list.
