नई दिल्ली पंचांग · New Delhi Panchang Friday, 31 July 2026 · Shravana Krishna Dvitiya · Dilli
Sunrise in New Delhi, NCT is 05:42 IST today — at the same minute than New Delhi, because the city sits at 77.21°E on a clock set for 82.5°E. Every reading below is taken at that sunrise, which is the traditional anchor, so the boundary times here can differ by minutes from an almanac typeset for another meridian.

Today in New Delhi
Delhi keeps two very visible panchang anchors. Chhath, on Kartik Shukla Shashthi, empties the city onto the Yamuna ghats at Nigambodh and Kalindi Kunj for an arghya offered at sunset and repeated at the next sunrise — which is why the sunrise and sunset on this page, not a rounded 6 a.m., are the times that actually matter that week. Through Ashwin's Shukla paksha the Ram Lila grounds run nightly to Vijayadashami on the tenth.
New Delhi is running Shravana Krishna Dvitiya today, which holds until 22:20. Keep anything you are starting fresh outside Rahu Kaal 10:46–12:28; the cleanest window of the day is Abhijit at 12:01–12:55.

Frequently asked questions
What time is sunrise in New Delhi today, and why does it differ from New Delhi?
Sunrise in New Delhi today is 05:42 IST and sunset is 19:13 IST — at the same minute than New Delhi. The cause is longitude, not the calendar: the whole country keeps one clock set to 82.5°E while New Delhi sits at 77.21°E, and every degree is worth about four minutes of sky. Everything on this page — the tithi and nakshatra readings, Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika and the Choghadiya split — is anchored to that local sunrise rather than to a Delhi almanac's.
Which lunar-month system does this page use for New Delhi, and does it change the tithi?
This page labels the lunar month for Delhi by the purnimanta convention — the month turns over at the full moon, so the fortnight after Purnima already carries the next month's name. That is the convention almost every printed North Indian almanac uses, and because Delhi's meridian is the one most of those almanacs are typeset for, the month name here will match the pothi on a Delhi puja room shelf. A Pune or Bengaluru panchang, working amanta, will print a different month name for the same krishna-paksha night while agreeing with this page to the minute on the tithi. Today the amanta reckoning calls this month Ashadha and the purnimanta reckoning calls it Shravana; the tithi is the same number in both. If you were quoted a date in the amanta system, the day is still the same day.
What this page cannot tell you
This is a panchang, not a birth chart. The tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and kaal windows above are the same for everyone standing in this city today; none of them knows your Moon sign, your running dasha, or the lagna that would rise at the hour you pick. Several observances also follow a rule this page does not apply — Janmashtami is settled at midnight, Diwali at pradosh, some ekadashi vratas by their parana window — so a temple's announced date can sit a day either side of the tithi marked here. Where that matters, check against your own family almanac; a disagreement between two panchangs is usually a difference of convention, not of fact.
How these timings were computed
Sunrise and sunset come from a NOAA solar-position model applied to New Delhi's actual coordinates (28.6139°N, 77.2090°E), not to a district centroid or a state capital. Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana are read at that same local sunrise from a sidereal ephemeris using the Lahiri ayanamsa, and their end times are found by bisection to about a minute. Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda and Gulika are the weekday-selected eighths of the real daylight span, which is why they move through the year instead of sitting at a fixed clock hour. Nothing on this page is copied from a printed almanac.
