Daily Panchang
Thursday, Shukla Paksha. The tithi is Chaturdashi till night, then Purnima begins. Chaturdashi is an intense day. Take big decisions with care. The Moon is in Chitra nakshatra till early morning the next day, then Swati. Abhijit Muhurta (11:52 – 12:45) is good for new work; avoid Rahu Kaal (13:57 – 15:37). The Moon is in Kanya rashi and the Sun in Mesha.

Day at a glance
Panchang windows not defined here today
Choghadiya, Gowri and Rahu Kaal each divide local daylight into eight parts. At very high latitudes (above ~66°) the sun can stay up — or stay down — for the whole day, so a local sunrise/sunset pair doesn't exist for this date. Tithi, nakshatra and yoga above are still valid.
A timing system used mainly in Gujarat, Rajasthan and North India: eight day windows and eight night windows, each rated good, neutral, or bad. A quick way to pick (or avoid) a slot for an everyday task.
A South Indian tradition that splits the day and night into eight Gowri windows each — used for picking auspicious slots for everyday work.
A short-list of the seven most important windows — three auspicious (Brahma, Abhijit, Amrit) and four to avoid (Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Varjyam). Some days may show fewer if a window isn't computed.
Each day and night splits into twelve planetary hours, each ruled by a planet. The ruling planet sets the hour's tone — pick an hour whose ruler suits the task.
