Colombo Panchang Today

आज का पंचांग · Colombo

Wednesday, 30 September 2026 · बुधवार, ३० सितंबर २०२६ · भाद्रपद कृष्ण चतुर्थी · Sri Lanka

Today's tithi is Krishna Chaturthi, the 19th tithi, in the lunar month of Bhadrapada. It runs until 02:56 PM.

Colombo keeps Asia/Colombo time, on the same clock as India, so everything below is worked out against the local clock. Sunrise here today is 06:00 AM and sunset 06:01 PM. Day and night are within minutes of even here today — 12h 02m of daylight.

Rahu Kaal today in Colombo

आज का राहु काल

12:01 PM – 01:31 PM

In Colombo today, Rahu Kaal runs from 12:01 PM to 01:31 PM — an hour and 30 minutes. It is not a fixed hour: the day between sunrise (06:00 AM) and sunset (06:01 PM) is divided into eight, and Wednesday takes the fifth part. Because Colombo's sunrise is its own, so is this window — the same Wednesday in India puts Rahu Kaal at a quite different time.

Today's tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana

आज की तिथि · आज का नक्षत्र

Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana are angles between the Sun and the Moon, so each one changes at a single instant worldwide. Colombo reads that instant on its own clock, which is why the end times here differ from the Indian ones — and occasionally why the lunar day itself does.

Hora today in Colombo

Panchang Colombo — common questions

What is the Rahu Kaal today in Colombo? — आज का राहु काल

Rahu Kaal in Colombo today is from 12:01 PM to 01:31 PM. It is the part of the day between sunrise (06:00 AM) and sunset (06:01 PM) assigned to Rahu on Wednesday, so it moves with the local sunrise rather than sitting at a fixed clock time.

What is today's tithi? — आज की तिथि

Today's tithi is Krishna Chaturthi, the 19th tithi, in the lunar month of Bhadrapada. It runs until 02:56 PM. Tithi is the angle between the Sun and the Moon, so it changes at the same instant everywhere — it is the same in Colombo as anywhere else on the same clock.

What time is sunrise in Colombo today? — सूर्योदय

Sunrise in Colombo is at 06:00 AM and sunset at 06:01 PM, giving 12h 02m of daylight.

The favourable daytime Choghadiya in Colombo today are Labh (06:00 AM–07:30 AM), Amrit (07:30 AM–09:00 AM), Shubh (10:30 AM–12:01 PM), Labh (04:31 PM–06:01 PM).

When is today's shubh muhurat? — आज का शुभ मुहूर्त

Abhijit muhurat in Colombo today runs from 11:37 AM to 12:25 PM. It sits around local solar noon and is treated as generally auspicious, which is why it is often used when no other window is available.
