Auspicious & Inauspicious Times Based on Your Location
Panchang (literally “five limbs”) is the traditional Hindu almanac used to choose the right time for any activity. It records five elements of each day that together describe the energy of the moment.
The lunar day, based on the angle between the Sun and Moon. There are 30 tithis in a lunar month, and each carries its own quality for different tasks.
The weekday, each ruled by a planet — Sunday by the Sun, Monday by the Moon, and so on — which colours the day’s overall tone.
The lunar mansion, or constellation the Moon occupies. The 27 nakshatras are central to muhurat selection and to reading a birth chart.
A specific combination of Sun and Moon positions. The 27 yogas indicate whether the day favours auspicious or routine activity.
Half of a tithi. There are 11 karanas, and they refine the timing of an activity within the lunar day.
A muhurat is an electional window — a slice of the day considered favourable or unfavourable for important work. The panel above calculates these for your exact coordinates.
The most auspicious window of the day, centred on local noon. It is considered powerful enough to soften many doshas and is ideal for new beginnings, worship and important tasks.
An inauspicious period ruled by Rahu. Traditional practice avoids starting new ventures, travel or important meetings during this time. It lasts about one-eighth of the daytime.
A period associated with Yama. It is generally avoided for launching new activities, though ongoing work may continue.
A window linked to Gulika, a shadow point connected to Saturn. It is considered unfavourable for auspicious ceremonies and fresh starts.
The Moon’s cycle anchors the Hindu calendar. Two phases matter most for festivals, fasting and ritual timing.
The full moon, when the Moon is opposite the Sun. Many festivals and fasts fall on Purnima, and the mind is said to be especially active.
The new moon, when Sun and Moon share a sign. Amavasya is traditionally observed for ancestral rites and quiet, inward activity.
