How this is calculated
Timings are computed with the Drik (observational) method using the Lahiri (Chitra-paksha) ayanamsha, for India (IST) with Hyderabad as the reference location. Sunrise- and sunset-based windows — Rahu Kalam, Choghadiya and the muhurtas — are derived from the day's actual sunrise and sunset, so they shift a few minutes by city.

How to read Panchangam
Panchangam is the Vedic clock for a given place and date. The five limbs — Tithi, Vara, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana — are computed from the positions of the Sun and Moon (Lahiri ayanamsha). Festival dates follow tithi; naming and many sankalpas recite all five limbs.
Muhurta windows such as Rahu Kalam and Abhijit are sliced from local sunrise to sunset, so they move by a few minutes from city to city. This page uses Hyderabad, India (IST) as the reference. Tithi and Nakshatra end times are astronomical and stay close across the country.
Frequently asked questions
Is April 24, 2027 (April 24, 2027) a good day?
On April 24, 2027, the tithi is Krishna Paksha Chaturthi; the nakshatra is Anuradha; Rahu Kalam (inauspicious) is 9:06 AM – 10:40 AM; the favourable Abhijit Muhurta is around 11:49 AM – 12:39 PM. Prefer auspicious windows (Abhijit, Amrit Kaal, Brahma Muhurta) and avoid Rahu Kalam, Yamagandam and Gulika Kalam for new beginnings.
What is the tithi April 24, 2027?
The tithi on April 24, 2027 is Krishna Paksha Chaturthi (Hindu lunar day, Hyderabad/IST reference).
Which nakshatra is April 24, 2027?
The nakshatra (star) on April 24, 2027 is Anuradha.
What is the Rahu Kalam April 24, 2027?
Rahu Kalam on April 24, 2027 is 9:06 AM – 10:40 AM (IST, Hyderabad reference). Avoid starting journeys, contracts or auspicious rites in this window.
What is Panchangam?
Panchangam (Panchang) is the Vedic almanac. The name means “five limbs”: Tithi (lunar day), Vara (weekday), Nakshatra (lunar mansion), Yoga, and Karana. Together they describe the quality of a civil day for ritual, fasting, and choosing muhurta.
How do I read today’s five limbs?
Start with Tithi and Nakshatra — most vratas and festivals follow the lunar day, and many naming or travel customs follow the star. Then check Yoga and Karana (half-tithi). Vishti Karana, also called Bhadra, is traditionally avoided for new beginnings. Vara is the weekday from one sunrise to the next.
Why do sunrise and Rahu Kalam differ by city?
Panchang timings are computed for a geographic location. This page uses Hyderabad (India, IST) as the reference. Sunrise, sunset, and the eightfold day-division (Rahu Kalam, Yamagandam, Gulika, Abhijit) shift by a few minutes across India. Tithi and Nakshatra end times are astronomical and stay close nationwide.
What is Rahu Kalam?
Rahu Kalam is an inauspicious 90-minute window each day, placed in a different eighth of daylight by weekday. It is customarily avoided for starting journeys, contracts, or auspicious rites. Daily puja already underway need not be stopped.
What is Abhijit Muhurta?
Abhijit is the eighth muhurta of the daylight period, around local noon. It is considered inherently favourable and is the usual fallback when no other shubh muhurta is available for beginning important work.
