20 Oct 2025: questions

On 20 Oct 2025 in New Delhi, the tithi at sunrise is Krishna Chaturdashi (Krishna paksha), until 3:45 PM; then Amavasya. The month is Ashvin (amanta) / Kartika (purnimanta).
Which nakshatra is it on 20 Oct 2025?

What time is sunrise in New Delhi on 20 Oct 2025?
Sunrise is at 6:25 AM and sunset at 5:46 PM — the Sun's upper limb with standard refraction, the convention of the Indian Astronomical Ephemeris and of Drik Panchang (our times agree with the official ephemeris within a quarter of a minute). Almanacs that print the Sun's centre without refraction give sunrise about 3–4 minutes later and sunset as much earlier.
Is there a vrat or festival on 20 Oct 2025?
Diwali (Lakshmi Puja): Kartika Amavasya (Ashvin in the amanta reckoning) prevailing at pradosh; if it covers pradosh on both days for at least one ghati (24 min), the second day. Lakshmi Puja is in pradosh during the fixed Vrishabha lagna. Kali Puja: Kartika Amavasya (Ashvin in the amanta reckoning) prevailing at nishita, the midnight muhurta of the worship; if on both days, the first. Narak Chaturdashi (Abhyanga Snan): Ashvin Krishna Chaturdashi (amanta) current at arunodaya, 4 ghatis (96 minutes) before sunrise, when the abhyanga snan is taken; if on both mornings, the first.

Reading a panchang
- Tithi
- Each 12° of separation between the Moon and the Sun is one tithi — 30 in a lunar month, 15 in each of the bright (Shukla) and dark (Krishna) halves. A day takes the tithi running at sunrise; sometimes a tithi never touches a sunrise (kshaya) and sometimes one spans two (vriddhi).
- Nakshatra
- The 27 equal lunar mansions of the zodiac, each 13°20′. The Moon crosses about one a day. Muhurat and naming lean on the nakshatra more than anything else.
- Yoga
- The sum of the Sun’s and Moon’s sidereal longitudes, in 27 parts of 13°20′, from Vishkumbha to Vaidhriti; Vyatipata and Vaidhriti are avoided for auspicious work.
- Karana
- Half a tithi — usually two in a day. Nothing auspicious is begun in Vishti (Bhadra) karana.
- Vara
- The Hindu weekday runs from sunrise to the next sunrise, not from midnight.
- Rahu kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika
- Daylight split into eight parts, one part each by weekday. Tradition avoids them for beginning something new; ordinary work goes on.
- Choghadiya and hora
- Choghadiya divides day and night into eight parts each; a hora gives the ruling planet of each twelfth of the day. Both are widely used for business and travel.
Every figure comes from our own engine (VSOP87 / ELP, Lahiri ayanamsa), tested against the Swiss Ephemeris; tithi and nakshatra end times are accurate to about 2 minutes.
