Panchang Today is your daily compass, drawn from the Hindu calendar’s quiet precision. It helps you plan work, travel, prayers, and family commitments with better timing, not just better intent.
A tithi shows the Moon’s mood, a nakshatra tells you what kind of results your effort can bring, and the day’s yog and karan explain the unseen texture of the hours. In a busy India, this is how you stay connected to cultural roots while making mindful decisions, one small choice at a time. Below are the important Panchang details for April 28, 2026 for India:
Date & Day Details
Date & Day DetailsTuesday carries a brisk, get-it-done tone, and today the Moon supports that with Shukla Paksh 12 (Dvadasi).
Dvadasi is a bright, rising phase of the Moon, a time that favours purification, completion, and steady progress. Think of it like a river that has gained flow after good rains, you can move forward without pushing too hard. Shukla Paksh 12 (Dvadasi) stays with us until 18:52:01, after which Shukla Paksh 13 (Trayodasi) begins.
So the first part of the day is excellent for wrapping up pending tasks, paying dues, organising paperwork, and keeping promises.
The evening shift after 18:52:01 feels a little more intense and action-ready, so save your heavier conversations or tougher decision-making for after you’ve checked the facts.The nakshatra is U.Phalguni until 22:36:07, then Hasta takes over. U.Phalguni is linked with Aryaman, the deity of honour, friendships, and right conduct. It encourages agreements made with dignity, hospitality offered from the heart, and work that improves your reputation.
It’s a good day to reach out to an old contact, mentor a junior, or do a family duty you’ve been postponing. As the night approaches and Hasta comes in after 22:36:07, the energy becomes more skill-based and hands-on, better for fine adjustments, careful planning, and practical preparation for the next day.The Moon sign is Virgo 0.57, and it stays in Virgo through today, with the next sign change only at 30/04/2026 13:14:10 into Libra.
Virgo Moon days make people notice details. Your mind may keep scanning for what’s missing, what needs correction, what can be improved. Use that gift well. Clean up your desk, revisit your schedule, tighten your study plan, and watch your diet and digestion.The yoga is Vyaghata until 21:04:24, followed by Harsana. Vyaghata can bring small obstacles or delays, like a sudden change in traffic or a meeting that runs longer than planned.
Don’t get irritated. Build buffer time. The karan begins with Bava until 06:30:53, then Balava until 18:52:01, both supportive for steady, grounded actions. Do your work with patience, keep your words clean, and you’ll end the day feeling lighter.
Actionable advice: prioritise two pending tasks before noon, and keep one extra hour free to handle delays without stress.
Auspicious Timings (Shubh Muhurat)
Auspicious Timings (Shubh Muhurat)The day begins with a precious stillness in brahma_muhurta from 2026-04-28 03:56:13 to 2026-04-28 04:39:57.
This is the time for japa, quiet reading, and setting intentions. The mind is less noisy then, and the Virgo Moon absorbs good habits quickly. If you’ve been trying to restart a discipline, wake up and begin here. Even 15 minutes counts.pratah_sandhya runs from 2026-04-28 04:18:05 to 2026-04-28 05:23:41, ideal for Surya arghya, breathing practice, and a clean start to the day. It’s also a good window to plan your day on paper.
Write down appointments, travel time, and meals. Small planning, big relief.abhijit_muhurta is from 2026-04-28 11:29:05 to 2026-04-28 12:21:17. This is a classic window for important phone calls, signing routine approvals, interviews, and starting a task that needs a clean, conflict-free push. It’s like the Sun stands straight for a while, and your efforts get a clearer response.vijay_muhurta comes from 2026-04-28 14:05:41 to 2026-04-28 14:57:53.
Use it for competitive work, presentations, or to ask for support from seniors. You want a win? Put your best foot forward here.amrit_kalam from 2026-04-28 15:01:10 to 2026-04-28 16:42:18 is a sweet stretch for healing actions and sincere prayers. Still, notice that it overlaps closely with the day’s Rahu period, so keep your actions simple and devotional, not risky.godhuli_muhurta is from 2026-04-28 18:26:53 to 2026-04-28 18:48:45, followed by sayahana_sandhya from 2026-04-28 18:26:53 to 2026-04-28 19:32:29.
This dusk time is excellent for lighting a lamp, gratitude, and calming family energy after work. The day’s restlessness settles like dust after a short rain.nishita_muhurta is from 2026-04-28 23:33:01 to 2026-04-29 00:16:45, suited for deep prayer, mantra, and inner cleaning.Two special supports also stand out. tri_pushkara_yoga runs from 2026-04-28 05:23:41 to 2026-04-28 18:52:16, encouraging efforts that you want to repeat or strengthen over time, like consistent savings, learning, or fitness.

In the day, Laabh @ 10:17 and Amrit @ 11:55 support productive work and smooth coordination, while Shubh @ 15:11 suits prayerful beginnings. At night, Laabh @ 19:48, Shubh @ 22:32, and Amrit @ 23:55 are good for study, family discussions, and calm creative work. Actionable advice: schedule your most important call in 2026-04-28 11:29:05 to 2026-04-28 12:21:17, and keep dusk for a short lamp and a quiet reset.
Inauspicious Timings
Inauspicious TimingsRahu Kaal today is from 15:11 to 16:48. This is the classic period to avoid starting brand-new ventures, making big purchases, or signing contracts. Rahu’s energy is smoky and confusing. It doesn’t always deny success, but it can twist judgement, like a mirage on a hot road. If you must work during this time, stick to routine tasks, review existing work, and double-check figures.A simple remedy helps. Sit for a few minutes, slow your breath, and chant the Rahu mantra, “Om Raam Rahave Namaha”.
Keep your tone steady. This isn’t the hour to fight with colleagues or family, because misunderstandings can grow legs and run.The verified inauspicious window also lists rahu_kaal from 2026-04-28 15:11:05 to 2026-04-28 16:48:59. Treat it as the same caution zone, and keep your wallet closed today during this stretch.yamaganda runs from 2026-04-28 08:39:29 to 2026-04-28 10:17:23. Avoid launching anything new then, especially work requests that can’t be taken back.
If you’re commuting, leave early and keep patience with crowds. Small delays are part of the day’s Vyaghata yoga, remember.gulkai_kaal is from 2026-04-28 11:55:17 to 2026-04-28 13:33:11. This period is better for low-stakes work, filing, cleaning, or catching up on messages. Don’t corner someone for a big favour.Two dur_muhurtam periods appear, from 2026-04-28 08:00:17 to 2026-04-28 08:52:17, and again from 2026-04-28 22:49:17 to 2026-04-28 23:33:17.
Dur Muhurtam is known for fragile outcomes, so avoid confrontations, avoid harsh words, and don’t take emotional decisions. Let things cool.There is also baana (Nripa) from 2026-04-28 05:23:41 to 2026-04-28 17:45:41. Baana points to the flavour of the day, and Nripa suggests authority and ego themes can surface. People may act stubborn. Don’t make it a power struggle.Choghadiya warns you too. In the day, Rog @ 05:24, Udveg @ 07:02, Kaal @ 13:33, and Rog @ 16:48 are best kept for routine work only.
At night, Kaal @ 18:26 and Udveg @ 21:10 can bring restlessness, while Rog @ 26:39 and Kaal @ 28:01 suggest you should sleep on time instead of scrolling endlessly. Actionable advice: avoid all financial commitments from 15:11 to 16:48, and use that hour for mantra, review, and simple clean-up tasks.
Rahu Kaal Timings Across India
Rahu Kaal Timings Across IndiaRahu Kaal changes from place to place across India because it is calculated using local sunrise, and sunrise differs by longitude even within the same time zone.
So one fixed national time can’t represent everyone perfectly.

Actionable advice: check your local Rahu Kaal, then shift your key appointment by even 20 minutes to stay on the safer side.

Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise & Moonset
Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise & MoonsetSunrise is at 05:24:19, and it’s not just a clock event. In Panchang thinking, sunrise is the daily spiritual reset, like opening a window and letting the air change.
If you can, face the morning light for a minute, sip warm water, and begin with one clean thought. Virgo Moon rewards simple routines.Sunset is at 18:26:44. Dusk is where the mind often replays the day, what you said, what you didn’t. This is why evening prayer and lamp-lighting matter, they soften the sharp edges and bring you back to centre. It’s a good time to keep screens aside for a bit and speak gently at home.Moonrise happens at 03:32:26 PM, and Moonset is at 03:44:48 AM, Apr 29.
With the Moon in Virgo, emotions may show up as overthinking or a strong urge to fix everything. Notice it. Then choose one helpful action rather than ten anxious ones. Tonight, sleep will feel better if you do a small tidy-up, set clothes and lunch for tomorrow, and close unresolved conversations with a calm line. Actionable advice: step outside for two minutes around 03:32:26 PM to settle your mind, then return to work with a clearer head.
Vrat/Festival Information & Recommendations
Vrat/Festival Information & RecommendationsNo major Vrat or festival is observed today.Still, the Panchang has a mood, and in the Hindu month of Vaishakha, that mood is clean, bright, and growth-oriented, like fields that respond fast when you water them on time. With Shukla Paksh 12 (Dvadasi) until 18:52:01, keep your focus on completion and clarity. Finish what you started last week. Reply to the message you’ve been avoiding.
Pay a bill, return a borrowed item, or close a small pending task that keeps buzzing in your head.Relationships can improve through simple respect today, thanks to U.Phalguni’s Aryaman influence. Don’t over-explain. Don’t nitpick either, the Virgo Moon can make you overly critical without meaning to. If a family member seems slow or distracted, ask once, listen fully, and offer practical help. A short evening walk together can do more than a long lecture.At work, Vyaghata yoga until 21:04:24 can bring minor hurdles, a file not found, a delay in approval, a colleague changing the plan. Keep your cool. Your boss will notice the person who stays steady when others get edgy. Use abhijit_muhurta from 2026-04-28 11:29:05 to 2026-04-28 12:21:17 for the important conversation, then keep the afternoon for execution, not argument. Avoid fresh financial commitments during Rahu Kaal from 15:11 to 16:48.For spiritual practice, keep it simple and sincere. A lamp at dusk during sayahana_sandhya from 2026-04-28 18:26:53 to 2026-04-28 19:32:29, a small offering of water at sunrise 05:24:19, and a few rounds of “Om Raam Rahave Namaha” during the Rahu window will keep your inner weather steady.Actionable advice: write a three-item to-do list before 10 am, complete one pending chore before 18:52:01, avoid spending from 15:11 to 16:48, and end the day with a lamp at 18:26:53 and five minutes of quiet breathing before sleep.
