Daily Panchang

Krishna Paksha

Monday, Krishna Paksha. The tithi is Panchami till afternoon, then Shashthi begins. Panchami is a calm day, good for study, music and the arts. The Moon is in Magha nakshatra till morning, then Purva Phalguni. Abhijit Muhurta (12:03 – 12:45) is good for new work; avoid Rahu Kaal (08:31 – 09:49). The Moon is in Simha rashi and the Sun in Dhanu.

Day at a glance

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.
