The five limbs of the day — Tithi, Vaar, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana — with Rahu Kaal, Abhijit Muhurat and sunrise timings, computed for your city.

✦ Auspicious windows

Brahma Muhurat
Abhijit Muhurat

Brahma Muhurat — the last 96 minutes before sunrise — is prized for meditation, study and sankalpa. Abhijit, the window around solar noon, is a reliable all-purpose muhurat (traditionally skipped on Wednesdays).

✦ Windows to avoid

Rahu Kaal
Yamaganda
Gulika Kaal

These segments of the day are traditionally set aside — new beginnings, journeys and signings are usually scheduled around them. Routine work continues as normal.

Planning a specific event — griha pravesh, business launch, travel, or a major purchase? Use the Muhurat Finder to scan a date range day by day.

Day Choghadiya

The daylight hours divided into eight equal muhurta segments

॥ १ ॥

Tithi

The lunar day — each 12° of angular distance the Moon gains over the Sun. Thirty tithis complete one lunar month, fifteen in each fortnight.

॥ २ ॥

Vaar

The weekday, each ruled by a graha — Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn — which colours the day's basic nature.

॥ ३ ॥

Nakshatra

The 27 lunar mansions the Moon passes through. Your birth nakshatra is one of the most personal signatures in your chart.

॥ ४ ॥

Yoga

One of 27 combinations formed by adding the longitudes of the Sun and Moon — a subtler measure of the day's temperament.

॥ ५ ॥

Karana

Half of a tithi. Eleven karanas rotate through the month; some are considered favourable for beginnings, others for closure.

Panchang — common questions

Why does Rahu Kaal differ between cities?

Because it is carved out of the actual daylight period between local sunrise and sunset. Different sunrise times mean different windows — which is why this page asks for your city.

Is anything actually "forbidden" during inauspicious windows?

No. Traditionally these windows are simply not chosen for fresh starts — launches, journeys, signings, ceremonies. Everyday work, meals and travel already underway are not affected.

How accurate are these timings?

Sunrise, sunset, Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana are all calculated from the same Swiss Ephemeris / Lahiri ayanamsa engine used across the site — not a simplified approximation. For muhurat decisions around major events, we'd still suggest booking a consultation to factor in your own chart alongside the day's Panchang.

What is the Paksha shown under Moon Phase?

Shukla Paksha is the waxing fortnight from new moon to full moon; Krishna Paksha is the waning fortnight that follows. Many observances are fixed to a specific tithi of a specific paksha.
