The five limbs of the day
A panchang ("five limbs") describes a day by tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and weekday. Each is read at Kathmandu's sunrise, with the time it ends.
Tithi (lunar day)
Chaturdashi · Shukla
until 12:11 PM · then Purnima
Chaturdashi is a Rikta (empty) tithi — classically avoided for auspicious starts. Better for clearing, cleaning, endings and removing obstacles.
Nakshatra (Moon's star)
Revati
until 7:37 PM · then Ashwini
The Moon rides Revati today: gentle guide — you get everyone safely to the finish.
Yoga (Sun + Moon)
Harshana
until 5:37 PM · then Vajra
Harshana is a genuinely auspicious yoga — the day's undercurrent actively supports good outcomes.
Karana (half a tithi)
Vanija
until 12:11 PM · then Vishti until 11:07 PM, Bava
Vanija is a favourable working karana — good for steady, productive activity.
Vara (weekday)
Sunday
Sun's day
Sunday. Ruled by the Sun — favours authority, health, government dealings and standing your ground. Go bold; avoid playing small.

How these times are worked out
Sunrise and sunset are computed for Kathmandu's coordinates (27.72°N, 85.32°E), with the Sun's upper edge on the horizon. Every window on this page is counted from them, which is why Kathmandu's times differ from any other city's.
The tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana come from the sidereal (Lahiri) positions of the Sun and Moon, the system Indian almanacs use. End times are cut to the minute, the way printed panchangs show them.
The page refreshes every few minutes, and the day turns over at midnight Kathmandu time. For another date or a place not listed, use the Panchang tool.
Questions people ask
What is today's tithi in Kathmandu?
At sunrise in Kathmandu on Sunday, 25 October 2026 the tithi (lunar day) is Chaturdashi of Shukla Paksha, until 12:11 PM. The tithi is the Moon's distance from the Sun in steps of 12 degrees, so it can change at any hour of the day.
Which nakshatra is it today?
The Moon is in Revati nakshatra at sunrise, until 7:37 PM (Kathmandu time). A nakshatra is one of the 27 star segments the Moon passes through, about one a day.
What time is Rahu Kaal in Kathmandu today?
On Sunday, 25 October 2026, Rahu Kaal in Kathmandu runs from 4:01 PM to 5:26 PM (GMT+5:45). It is one of eight equal parts of the daytime, from sunrise (6:10 AM) to sunset (5:26 PM), and which part it takes depends on the weekday. Almanacs avoid starting anything new in it.
What are the good times today in Kathmandu?
Abhijit Muhurta 11:25 AM to 12:10 PM; Amrit Kaal 5:20 PM to 6:51 PM. For hour-by-hour timing, see the choghadiya for Kathmandu.
Why does Kathmandu need its own panchang?
Every window here is counted from Kathmandu's own sunrise and sunset, which move with latitude, longitude and season. A city a few hundred kilometres away can be several minutes apart, and the end times of the tithi and nakshatra are shown in Kathmandu's local time.
