Daily Panchang

Krishna Paksha

Saturday, Krishna Paksha. The tithi is Varuthini Ekadashi till night, then Dwadashi begins. Ekadashi is a fasting day for many devotees. The Moon is in Purva Bhadrapada nakshatra till night, then Uttara Bhadrapada. Abhijit Muhurta (11:51 – 12:44) is good for new work; avoid Rahu Kaal (08:57 – 10:38). The Moon is in Kumbha rashi and the Sun in Mesha.

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.
