There are 30 in a lunar month, split into the waxing Shukla and waning Krishna pakshas. Today in Port Blair it is Chaturdashi (Shukla Paksha). Nakshatra -- the lunar mansion The nakshatra is the constellation the Moon occupies -- 27 in all, each 13°20′ wide. Today the Moon is in dhanishta, pada 1\. It sets the emotional and muhurta texture of the day. Yoga & Karana Yoga (Shobhana today) is a Sun-Moon angular combination; Karana (Vanija today) is half a tithi. Both are used to judge the quality of a moment for specific activities. Vara -- the weekday Vara is the weekday (Guruvara today), ruled by its lord graha. The weekday fixes which parts of the day fall under Rahu Kaal, Gulika, and each Choghadiya. ## Frequently asked questions What is the Rahu Kaal in Port Blair today? Today (Thursday, 27 August 2026), Rahu Kaal in Port Blair runs from 12:53 PM - 02:26 PM. Rahu Kaal is one of eight equal parts of the daytime (sunrise to sunset) and is traditionally avoided for starting new or auspicious activities. It shifts every day because sunrise and sunset change, and its part-of-day is fixed by the weekday. What is today's tithi and nakshatra in Port Blair?

These are computed for the city's coordinates using the standard sunrise equation, and they set the boundaries for Rahu Kaal, Choghadiya, and the Vedic day. What is Choghadiya and how do I read it?
