The live line on this page is for a reference city and updates with the Moon. The nakshatra that matters for a puja is the one on your city’s sunrise.
The twenty-seven nakshatras
The ecliptic is divided into twenty-seven nakshatras, from Ashwini through Revati: Ashwini, Bharani, Krittika, Rohini, Mrigashira, Ardra, Punarvasu, Pushya, Ashlesha, Magha, Purva Phalguni, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Vishakha, Anuradha, Jyeshtha, Mula, Purva Ashadha, Uttara Ashadha, Shravana, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha, Purva Bhadrapada, Uttara Bhadrapada, and Revati. Some almanacs also discuss Abhijit as a twenty-eighth intercalary mansion. AllMandir’s daily row uses the twenty-seven-fold name from the city’s calculation.

Frequently asked questions
What is nakshatra today?
Nakshatra today (aaj ka nakshatra) is the lunar mansion the Moon occupies on your city’s panchang. There are twenty-seven nakshatras. Open panchang by city and read the Nakshatra row, including when it ends.
Is nakshatra the same as tithi?
No. Tithi is the Moon–Sun lunar day. Nakshatra is which of the twenty-seven star groups the Moon is in. Both appear on the daily table. See tithi today.
Why does aaj ka nakshatra differ by city?
The Moon’s mansion changes at one astronomical moment. Local sunrise and the local clock decide how that moment is written on your panchang day. Use the city you are in, not a national chart.
What is a nakshatra pada?
Each nakshatra is often split into four padas (quarters). Daily panchang on AllMandir leads with the nakshatra name and its end time. Pada detail is a finer reading of the same mansion.
Does nakshatra decide Rahu Kaal?
No. Rahu Kaal follows weekday plus local sunrise. Nakshatra follows the Moon. Read both on the city page, and the method on Rahu Kaal today.
Where do I read nakshatra with the rest of panchang?
City panchang lists nakshatra beside tithi, yoga, karana, sunrise, and Rahu Kaal. Tamil homes can start from Tamil panchangam.
