Frequently asked questions
What is today's tithi in Chennai?
On 14 December 2022 the tithi in Chennai is Shashthi, running till 11:42 pm. The tithi prevailing at sunrise is the one that names the day in most traditions.
What is the nakshatra today?
The Moon is in Magha nakshatra on 14 December 2022 in Chennai, until 5:16 am.
What time is Rahu Kaal today in Chennai?
Rahu Kaal on 14 December 2022 in Chennai is 12:03 pm – 1:28 pm. It is one-eighth of the interval between sunrise and sunset, and the eighth it falls in depends on the weekday — which is why it moves through the day across the week.
When is Abhijit Muhurat today?
Abhijit Muhurat is 11:40 am – 12:26 pm in Chennai on 14 December 2022. It is the roughly 48-minute window centred on local solar noon and is considered auspicious for beginning work on almost any day, except Wednesdays in some traditions.
What time is Brahma Muhurat?
Brahma Muhurat falls 4:41 am – 5:32 am, ending shortly before sunrise at 6:22 am. It spans the fourth-last and third-last muhurta of the night and is the traditional time for study, meditation and puja.
Is today auspicious?
14 December 2022 has no major festival in Chennai. Auspiciousness in practice is judged hour by hour, not day by day — check the Choghadiya table and avoid the Rahu Kaal window at 12:03 pm – 1:28 pm.
Why does sunrise here differ from other panchang websites?
Sunrise on this page is 6:22 am and sunset 5:44 pm, computed for Chennai's exact coordinates using the standard refraction convention. Sites that publish a single national sunrise, or that round to the nearest five minutes, will differ by several minutes — and every muhurat derived from sunrise inherits that difference.
Which calendar system does this panchang follow?
Both reckonings are shown. The Amanta month (ending at Amavasya) is followed in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu; the Purnimanta month (ending at Purnima) is followed across most of North India. The tithi and festival dates are identical — only the month name differs.
