Frequently asked questions
What is today's tithi in Ranchi?
On 16 December 2023 the tithi in Ranchi is Chaturthi, running till 8:00 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 Uttara Ashadha nakshatra on 16 December 2023 in Ranchi, until 6:24 am.
What time is Rahu Kaal today in Ranchi?
Rahu Kaal on 16 December 2023 in Ranchi is 9:03 am – 10:23 am. 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 11:22 am – 12:05 pm in Ranchi on 16 December 2023. 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 4:36 am – 5:30 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?
16 December 2023 carries Vinayaka Chaturthi in Ranchi, so it is an observance day. Beyond festivals, use the Choghadiya and Shubh Muhurat tables on this page to pick the specific hour — very few days are wholly auspicious or wholly inauspicious.
Why does sunrise here differ from other panchang websites?
Sunrise on this page is 6:22 am and sunset 5:05 pm, computed for Ranchi'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.
