24 Mar 2026: questions
Which tithi is it on 24 Mar 2026?
On 24 Mar 2026 in New Delhi, the tithi at sunrise is Shukla Shashthi (Shukla paksha), until 4:08 PM; then Shukla Saptami. The month is Chaitra (amanta) / Chaitra (purnimanta).
Which nakshatra is it on 24 Mar 2026?

When is rahu kaal in New Delhi on 24 Mar 2026?
From 3:31 PM to 5:02 PM. Yamaganda is 9:24 AM–10:55 AM and gulika 12:27 PM–1:59 PM.
What time is sunrise in New Delhi on 24 Mar 2026?
Sunrise is at 6:20 AM and sunset at 6:34 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 24 Mar 2026?
Chaitra Navratri: Begins on the Shukla Pratipada that touches the first third of the day (the ghatasthapana window); ends with Ram Navami. Chaiti Chhath: Chaitra Shukla Shashthi prevailing at sunset, when the evening arghya is offered; the morning arghya is at the next sunrise.
These times are for New Delhi. The same date for another city: panchang finder. Need a time for an auspicious start? Find a muhurat.
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.
