Panchang Today is your daily compass for planning with precision, rooted in the steady wisdom of the Hindu calendar. It tells you how the Moon is moving, which tithi is in force, and which time windows support fresh starts or quiet restraint.
On a busy Monday, this small awareness can change the tone of your meetings, your travel, even your food choices. It also keeps you connected to cultural roots, so decisions feel mindful, not hurried. A good Panchang doesn’t push fear, it offers timing. And timing, like the monsoon, decides what will sprout well. Below are the important Panchang details for April 27, 2026 for India:
Date & Day Details
Date & Day DetailsMonday carries a work-first rhythm, and today the Moon’s story adds devotion and discipline to it.
The tithi is Shukla Paksh 11 (Ekadasi), continuing up to 18:16:05, after which Shukla Paksh 12 (Dvadasi) begins. Ekadasi is not just a fasting day, it’s a day of restraint that clears mental noise. In the waxing fortnight, the Moon is building strength, and Ekadasi asks you to use that strength for self-control rather than indulgence.
So the day favours commitments that need steadiness, finishing pending tasks, and cleaning up habits.
It’s also a good day to reduce harsh speech and keep your promises, even small ones.The Nakshatra is P.Phalguni, lasting up to 21:18:39, then moving into U.Phalguni. P.Phalguni is traditionally linked with Bhaga, the deity connected with prosperity, enjoyment, and fair sharing of resources. That’s why this star supports agreements where both sides benefit, family responsibilities handled with grace, and creative work that needs charm.
Yet on Ekadasi, that P.Phalguni comfort should be kept clean and simple, like a well-swept courtyard.
Use the star’s warmth for kindness, not for excess. As the day moves towards U.Phalguni later at night, the tone becomes more about service, duty, and doing what’s right even when no one is watching.The Moon sign is Leo 18.10, and it stays there through most of the day, transitioning at 28/04/2026 03:35:43 to Virgo. Leo Moon makes people more proud, more expressive, and a bit more sensitive to respect.
You may see it in offices and homes, everyone wants to be heard. Choose praise over criticism today, it will land better. Don’t take feedback personally either. Once the Moon shifts to Virgo in the early hours, the emotional climate becomes more practical, more detail-minded.
If you can, keep tomorrow’s to-do list ready tonight.Yoga is Dhruva, ending at 21:35:41, followed by Vyaghata. Dhruva is a steadying influence, good for work that must last, like planning, long-term study schedules, or repairing something that needs reliability.
Vyaghata can bring sharpness and obstacles, so it’s better to wrap important matters before Dhruva ends.Karan begins with Vanij up to 06:08:02, then Visti up to 18:16:05, then Bava. Vanij supports trade and practical transactions, while Visti is traditionally treated as tougher for fresh beginnings. Don’t panic, it simply means you should avoid forcing outcomes. Work with the day, not against it.
Auspicious Timings (Shubh Muhurat)
Auspicious Timings (Shubh Muhurat)If you like to start the day with a clean inner slate, Brahma Muhurta is your first gentle window, from 2026-04-27 03:56:52 to 2026-04-27 04:40:40. This time is like the cool pre-dawn breeze, the mind absorbs mantra, prayer, and study without resistance. On Ekadasi, even a short Vishnu stotra, a few rounds of japa, or quiet reading can set a strong tone for the full day.Pratah Sandhya runs from 2026-04-27 04:18:46 to 2026-04-27 05:24:28. This is suited for your morning rituals, bath, Surya arghya, and a simple sankalp for discipline. If you’re fasting, use this slot to decide your food rules clearly, so you don’t keep negotiating with yourself later.Abhijit Muhurta is from 2026-04-27 11:29:24 to 2026-04-27 12:21:32. This midday bright patch is traditionally helpful for important submissions, confident conversations, or starting something that needs protection from delays.
If you must send an application, present a proposal, or speak to a senior, this window supports clarity.Vijay Muhurta appears from 2026-04-27 14:05:48 to 2026-04-27 14:57:56. Use it for tasks that require courage, follow-ups, and decisions you’ve been postponing. One phone call, one meeting confirmation, one firm yes or no. Simple wins.Amrit Kalam is from 2026-04-27 14:40:45 to 2026-04-27 16:20:05. This is a sweet, nourishing period for reconciliation, creative work, and any activity where you want goodwill.
On Ekadasi, it’s also a beautiful time for charity or feeding someone, even if it’s small.As evening arrives, Godhuli Muhurta is from 2026-04-27 18:26:23 to 2026-04-27 18:48:17, and Sayahana Sandhya continues from 2026-04-27 18:26:23 to 2026-04-27 19:32:05. This twilight is ideal for lamp lighting, aarti, and calming the home atmosphere after work. Nishita Muhurta falls at 2026-04-27 23:32:59 to 2026-04-28 00:16:47, traditionally suited for deeper spiritual practice.Choghadiya also gives quick guidance. Day auspicious periods include Amrit @ 05:25, Shubh @ 08:40, Laabh @ 15:10, and Amrit @ 16:48. Night auspicious periods include Laabh @ 22:33, Shubh @ 25:17, and Amrit @ 26:39. Choose these for smoother outcomes, especially if you’re coordinating family plans or travel.
Inauspicious Timings
Inauspicious TimingsRahu Kaal today is from 07:02 to 08:40, and the detailed listing shows Rahu Kaal from 2026-04-27 07:02:12 to 2026-04-27 08:39:56.
Rahu Kaal is a daily period linked with Rahu’s shadowy influence, known for confusion, impulsive choices, and poor judgement. It doesn’t mean disaster will strike, it simply means your margin for error becomes thinner. Avoid launching new ventures, signing contracts, making big payments, or locking in prices during this time.
Keep your wallet closed today, at least in this window.What should you do instead? Choose steady actions. Meditation helps, and so does quiet work that needs no risky decisions.
If you feel anxious or scattered, chant the Rahu mantra “Om Raam Rahave Namaha” a few times, or listen to it while commuting. Ekadasi discipline pairs well with this, because restraint is the best antidote to Rahu’s temptations.Yamaganda is from 2026-04-27 10:17:41 to 2026-04-27 11:55:25. This period is better kept for routine tasks, not for initiating important discussions or purchases. Gulkai Kaal is from 2026-04-27 13:33:09 to 2026-04-27 15:10:54, another slot where you should avoid starting anything you want to run smoothly.Dur Muhurtam appears twice, from 2026-04-27 12:21:32 to 2026-04-27 13:13:32, and again from 2026-04-27 14:57:56 to 2026-04-27 15:49:56. Treat these like pothole patches on a road. You can still travel, but don’t speed. Postpone confrontational talks, avoid sending angry messages, and don’t corner anyone at home or at work.Varjyam is from 2026-04-28 04:54:05 to 2026-04-28 06:32:28. Since this is early next morning, keep it in mind if you wake up early for worship or exercise.
Baana (Nripa) runs from 2026-04-27 17:04:28 to 2026-04-28 05:23:41, and Mrityu Yoga is from 2026-04-27 18:16:28 to 2026-04-28 05:23:28. These combinations suggest you should keep evening plans simple, avoid taking unnecessary risks, and stay alert while travelling at night.The Panchang also notes Vidaal Yoga from 2026-04-28 01:18:05 to 2026-04-27 21:18:05, and Vidaal Yoga (Detailed) for the same times. Take this as a caution to avoid ego clashes and rushed decisions.
Choghadiya inauspicious periods are Kaal @ 07:02, Rog @ 10:18, Udveg @ 11:55 in the day, and Rog @ 19:48, Kaal @ 21:10, Udveg @ 23:55 at night. Use these periods for quiet, maintenance tasks, not for bold beginnings.
Rahu Kaal Timings Across India
Rahu Kaal Timings Across IndiaRahu Kaal changes with location across India because it is calculated from local sunrise, and sunrise shifts from place to place due to longitude differences. That’s why two towns can have the same day, but slightly different Rahu Kaal.

Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise & Moonset
Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise & MoonsetSunrise is at 05:25:08, and it’s more than a time on the clock. In Panchang tradition, sunrise is the day’s spiritual reset, when light returns and intention becomes easier to hold. If you’ve been meaning to restart a habit, even ten minutes of prayer or stretching after 05:25:08 can bring steadiness, especially under Dhruva Yoga.Sunset is at 18:26:15. As the Sun dips, the mind also turns inward, whether we notice it or not. This is a good day to wrap up work a little before sunset, then step into evening sandhya with a calmer head. Even one lamp, one moment of gratitude, and one phone kept aside can change the home’s mood.Moonrise is at 02:37:58 PM. With the Moon in Leo 18.10, the afternoon Moon can stir pride and strong feelings, so don’t let small slights grow into big stories.
If a conversation feels heated, pause, drink water, and return when your tone is softer. Moonset is at 03:14:44 AM, Apr 28. The late-night hours are better kept for rest and quiet spiritual practice, not for scrolling, snacking, or emotional texting. Let the Moon’s arc remind you, moods rise and fall, but your discipline can stay steady.
Vrat/Festival Information & Recommendations
Vrat/Festival Information & RecommendationsMohini Ekadashi is observed today, and it holds special weight in the Vaishakha month.
This Ekadashi is associated with Lord Vishnu’s Mohini avatar, the divine enchantress form taken to protect dharma and restore balance. The story reminds us that illusion is not only outside us, it also lives in our cravings, our ego, and our excuses. Mohini Ekadashi therefore isn’t just about skipping certain foods. It is about seeing through what tempts you away from your values.
Many devotees keep a fast, offer tulsi and water to Vishnu, and spend time with Vishnu Sahasranama or simple Vishnu naam japa.
Charity done today, even quietly, is believed to carry a cleaner merit because Ekadashi encourages self-restraint first.Along with the annual observance, the regular Ekadashi Vrat is also followed, a fortnightly fast dedicated to Lord Vishnu. People observe it as per their strength, some do a nirjala fast, others take fruits, milk, or a single simple meal. The heart of the vrat is sincerity. Keep the mind light, keep speech kind, and keep the day free of gossip.
If you can’t fast, you can still keep Ekadashi by avoiding overeating, avoiding anger, and choosing a short prayer at dawn and dusk.
That counts too.Now, practical recommendations for the day. Relationships may feel slightly touchy under a Leo Moon. Choose warmth over winning. If you must correct someone at home, do it privately, and with fewer words. At work, Dhruva Yoga supports steady progress, so pick two priority tasks and finish them properly.
Your boss will notice the consistency. Avoid last-minute financial commitments during Rahu Kaal from 07:02 to 08:40, and keep important conversations away from Dur Muhurtam.Spiritually, today is made for discipline that feels gentle, not forced. Light a lamp around evening sandhya, offer a simple prayer to Vishnu, and keep your phone aside for a fixed hour. One hour of quiet can do what ten hours of noise cannot.Actionable advice: Keep your meals simple or fast if you can, choose one important task to complete before 18:16:05, and end the day with a short Vishnu prayer and a promise to yourself you’ll keep tomorrow as clean as today.
