A panchang is the Hindu almanac that describes each day through five limbs — tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (the Moon's constellation), yoga, karana and vara (weekday) — and derives from them the day's auspicious and inauspicious periods. This page computes all of them for Varanasi every day.
Today (14 June 2026) the tithi in Varanasi is Krishna Paksha Chaturdashi, until 12:20 PM IST.
Rahu Kaal in Varanasi today is 5:06 PM – 6:49 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Varanasi's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.
Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 11:30 AM – 12:25 PM IST in Varanasi today. For longer ceremonies, also check the auspicious choghadiya periods listed on this page.
Sunrise-based periods — Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, choghadiya, Abhijit Muhurat — are fractions of the local day length, and sunrise in Varanasi (25.32°N, 83.01°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Varanasi's own coordinates.
Varanasi is a city in the state of Uttar Pradesh. It lies at 25.32°N latitude and 83.01°E longitude. All panchang times (sunrise, sunset, Rahu Kaal, Abhijit Muhurat) are computed specifically for this location using the Swiss Ephemeris with Lahiri ayanamsa — the official Indian Rashtriya Panchang standard.
The Hindu day begins at local sunrise, and the day's protective windows — Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika and the eight choghadiya periods — are equal divisions of the daylight between Varanasi's sunrise and sunset. That day length shifts with the date and the season, which is why this page is recomputed every day. Tithi and nakshatra transition moments are universal, but they are shown here converted to Indian Standard Time, so what you read matches your clock in Varanasi.
