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: Pratipadaप्रतिपदाtill 19:13then Dwitiyaद्वितीयाtill 42:43
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: 24.2453°). 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 Dhanbad'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 - Dhanbad, 16 October 2027

On Saturday, 16 October 2027, the Vedic calendar throughout Dhanbad carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. The sun rises at 5:42 AM and dipping below the horizon at 5:16 PM, bringing 11 hours 34 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Pratipada of Krishna Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Ashwini. Harshana yoga presides over the day, completing the core panchang signature for 2027-10-16. Brahma Muhurta opens at 4:06 AM and closes at 4:54 AM, anchored to today's local sunrise.

Throughout Dhanbad, Rahu Kala occupies the stretch from 8:36 AM through 10:03 AM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. Today's Disha Shool falls in the East direction — classical guidance advises against new Saturday journeys toward the East. On the auspicious side, the Shubh choghadiya (7:09 AM–8:36 AM) is the day's prime auspicious window. Ashwini nakshatra is ruled by Ketu, anchoring the vedic day in the particulars of Dhanbad.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rahu Kaal in Dhanbad on 16 October 2027?

In Dhanbad on 16 October 2027, Rahu Kaal runs from 8:36 AM to 10:03 AM. 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 Dhanbad on 16 October 2027 at 5:42 AM?

Sunrise at 5:42 AM in Dhanbad on 16 October 2027 is determined by the city's geographic latitude (23.80°N) and the Earth's axial tilt on this date. The exact sunrise and sunset (5:16 PM) define the length of the Vedic day and anchor all panchang calculations — from Rahu Kaal to the choghadiya slots — to Dhanbad's local horizon.
