Day at a glance
Panchang windows not defined here today
Choghadiya, Gowri and Rahu Kaal each divide local daylight into eight parts. At very high latitudes (above ~66°) the sun can stay up — or stay down — for the whole day, so a local sunrise/sunset pair doesn't exist for this date. Tithi, nakshatra and yoga above are still valid.
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.
