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: Tritiyaतृतीयाtill 15:02
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.
Muhurta Chintamani — Tithi-prakaranam (Nanda/Bhadra/Jaya/Rikta/Purna tithi-types)
Nakshatra: Bharaniभरणीtill 06:41
What this means
The Moon's star-mansion — the patch of sky it sits in today, one of 27. Each nakshatra has its own temperament that classical texts use to judge what the day is good for.
Brihat Samhita — Nakshatra chapters (nakshatra qualities)
Yoga: Pritiप्रीतिtill 14:29
What this means
A combined Sun-and-Moon measure (one of 27 nitya-yogas) — not the physical posture practice. A few yogas, such as Vyatipata and Vaidhriti, are best avoided; most are ordinary.
Muhurta Chintamani — Yoga enumeration (tyajya-yoga list, v. 33)
Karana: Garajaगरजtill 15:02
What this means
Half of a tithi — each lunar day holds two karanas. One of them, Vishti (also called Bhadra), is treated as inauspicious; the rest are workable.
BPHS — Karana-jnana-vidhi (11 karanas including Vishti)
Vara: Shukravaraशुक्रवार
What this means
The weekday and its ruling planet. Each day's planet colours which tasks the tradition recommends — e.g. Thursday (Jupiter) for auspicious beginnings.
Muhurta Chintamani — Vara-prakaranam (weekday lords)
Maasa: Chaitraचैत्र
What this means
The lunar month. India uses two reckonings — Amanta (new-moon to new-moon) and Purnimanta (full-moon to full-moon) — so the name can differ by region. An 'Adhika' (extra) month is inserted to keep the lunar and solar years aligned.
Nirnaya Sindhu — Adhikamasa-nirnaya (intercalary month)
Paksha: Shukla (waxing)शुक्ल पक्ष
What this means
The fortnight. Shukla is the waxing half (Moon growing toward full); Krishna is the waning half (toward the new moon).
Calendar definition
Chandra Rashi: Mesha
What this means
The zodiac sign the Moon occupies now. Together with your birth Moon-sign it drives Chandrabala — the Moon's day-to-day favourability for you.
Muhurta Chintamani — 2.4-2.5 (Chandrabala)
Surya Rashi: Meenaमीन

Sidereal (Lahiri) ephemeris; anga end-times computed to the city’s actual sunrise. “Adhika maas” marks an intercalary lunar month (no solar sankranti within it).

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. 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 Chicago'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.

Hora - Chicago, 9 April 2027

On Friday, the 9th of April 2027, the Vedic calendar in Chicago carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Sunrise arrives at 6:21 AM and dipping below the horizon at 7:23 PM, bringing 13 hours 2 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Tritiya of Shukla Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Bharani. The day carries the Priti yoga, completing the core panchang signature for 2027-04-09. Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn meditation window, runs from 4:45 AM to 5:33 AM.

In Chicago, Rahu Kala runs from 11:14 AM to 12:52 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. The inauspicious direction (Disha Shool) for Friday is West; new ventures toward the West are traditionally deferred. On the auspicious side, Labh choghadiya, running 7:59 AM to 9:36 AM, stands out as the best muhurta. Bharani nakshatra is under the lordship of Venus, bringing the ancient panchang frame into direct contact with Chicago's horizon.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rahu Kaal in Chicago on 9 April 2027?

In Chicago on 9 April 2027, Rahu Kaal runs from 11:14 AM to 12:52 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 Chicago on 9 April 2027 at 6:21 AM?

Sunrise at 6:21 AM in Chicago on 9 April 2027 is determined by the city's geographic latitude (41.88°N) and the Earth's axial tilt on this date. The exact sunrise and sunset (7:23 PM) define the length of the Vedic day and anchor all panchang calculations — from Rahu Kaal to the choghadiya slots — to Chicago's local horizon.

What yoga is operative in Chicago on 9 April 2027?

The yoga operative in Chicago on 9 April 2027 is Priti, active from 4:55 PM to 2:29 PM local time. In the Vedic panchang, yoga is calculated from the combined longitudes of the Sun and Moon and cycles through 27 named yogas. Priti yoga carries its own quality and influences the day's overall character — affecting the auspiciousness of activities begun during its span.
