Panchang — the five angas पञ्चाङ्ग

Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana and Vara with their end-times, plus the month and the Moon’s and Sun’s signs — computed for this city’s sunrise. Times after midnight use the traditional extended clock (e.g. 27:23 = 03:23 next morning).

Tithi: Saptamiसप्तमीtill 19:20then Ashtamiअष्टमीtill 45:18
What this means
The lunar day. It is set by how far the Moon has pulled ahead of the Sun — each 12 degrees of separation is one tithi. The tithi shapes which activities the tradition favours, and it ends at the time shown, when the next one begins.

How we compute this panchang

Every time on this page is calculated from the actual positions of the Sun and Moon using the Swiss Ephemeris (the same high-precision astronomical engine used by professional astronomers), not from a printed almanac or a fixed table.

Sidereal zodiac, Lahiri ayanamsha — the standard used by the Indian government calendar (ayanamsha for this date: 24.2291°). All nakshatra, rashi, tithi and yoga boundaries follow from it.
Local true sunrise — muhurta windows (Rahu Kaal, Choghadiya, Hora, Abhijit and the rest) are measured from the true sunrise computed for Raipur's exact coordinates, so they are correct for your location, not a regional approximation.
Two month conventions — we show both the Amanta (new-moon-to-new-moon) and Purnimanta (full-moon-to-full-moon) lunar month, because different regions of India follow different ones; an Adhika (intercalary) month is marked when it occurs.

Significance and auspicious/inauspicious flags are drawn from classical texts (Muhurta Chintamani, Brihat Samhita, the Puranas and others) and cited inline — we never assert an effect a text does not state.

Choghadiya - Raipur, 19 August 2026

On Wednesday, 19 August 2026, the Vedic calendar across Raipur carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 5:44 AM in Raipur and dipping below the horizon at 6:29 PM, bringing 12 hours 46 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Saptami of the Shukla fortnight, and the nakshatra of the day is Swati. The reigning yoga is Brahma, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-08-19. The Brahma Muhurta window for Raipur spans 4:08 AM to 4:56 AM — the hour the classics name as most favourable for study and sadhana.

Across Raipur, The Rahu Kala window falls between 12:07 PM and 1:42 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. Disha Shool today points North — the direction to avoid for new travel on Wednesday per classical muhurta convention. On the auspicious side, the first favourable choghadiya is Labh (5:44 AM–7:19 AM). Swati nakshatra is with Rahu as its ruling planet, making this a day shaped by both celestial timing and local geography.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rahu Kaal in Raipur on 19 August 2026?

In Raipur on 19 August 2026, Rahu Kaal runs from 12:07 PM to 1:42 PM. This 90-minute window is governed by Rahu and is traditionally avoided for starting new work, travel, or auspicious ceremonies. The timing shifts daily based on local sunrise, so it differs from city to city.

Why is sunrise in Raipur on 19 August 2026 at 5:44 AM?

Sunrise at 5:44 AM in Raipur on 19 August 2026 is determined by the city's geographic latitude (21.25°N) and the Earth's axial tilt on this date. The exact sunrise and sunset (6:29 PM) define the length of the Vedic day and anchor all panchang calculations — from Rahu Kaal to the choghadiya slots — to Raipur's local horizon.
