Today's Tithi

Pratipada / Dwitiya — Krishna Paksha

Today opens with Pratipada, the first day of the waning moon phase (Krishna Paksha) that follows yesterday's full moon. This energy is excellent for introspection, planning, and tidying up loose ends from the previous fortnight.

Today's initial Tithi remains in effect until approximately 8:32 AM, after which Dwitiya begins.

Tithi Significance

Pratipada is generally suitable for initiating long-term planning and careful structuring. Dwitiya, which follows, favors diplomatic engagements, relationship building, and constructive partnerships.

Today's Nakshatra

Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra

Governed by Aja Ekapada (an ancient form of Rudra/Shiva) and symbolized by the front legs of a funeral cot or a two-faced man, Purva Bhadrapada represents profound vision, research, and the power of transformation. It encourages deep contemplation and disciplined effort.

  • Nakshatra: Purva Bhadrapada

  • Ends at: 3:58 AM (early Sunday morning)

Today's Yoga

Sukarma Yoga / Dhriti Yoga

The day begins with Sukarma Yoga, which favors performing noble deeds, auspicious beginnings, and actions that lead to positive outcomes. It is a supportive energy for constructive tasks.

Today's Karana

Kinstughna Karana / Bava Karana

Kinstughna is a fixed Karana favorable for daily commerce and productive routine tasks. Bava Karana, which follows, is excellent for starting new ventures and foundational ceremonies.

  • Karana ends: 8:32 AM (followed by Bava Karana)

Rahu Kaal Today

  • Rahu Kaal: 9:18 AM – 10:55 AM

Rahu Kaal is traditionally considered an unfavorable period for beginning important new activities according to Vedic astrology. People who follow this tradition generally avoid starting major work during this inauspicious time slot.

Note: Rahu Kaal varies according to the weekday and local sunrise/sunset, so the timing should always be calculated for the selected location.

Yamaganda Kaal Today

  • Yamaganda: 2:09 PM – 3:45 PM

Traditionally ruled by Lord Yama, this window is generally avoided for signing major agreements, launching new products, or initiating important ventures where you desire long-term expansion and positive outcomes.

Gulika Kaal Today

  • Gulika Kaal: 6:05 AM – 7:42 AM

This timeframe is traditionally associated with Saturn's subordinate force. While routine administrative actions can continue, major auspicious undertakings, travel beginnings, or high-stakes financial commitments are usually postponed.

Abhijit Muhurat Today

  • Abhijit Muhurat: 12:03 PM – 12:53 PM

Abhijit Muhurat is traditionally regarded as an auspicious period around midday and is commonly considered suitable for beginning certain important activities, overcoming obstacles, and executing vital decisions.

Brahma Muhurat Today

  • Brahma Muhurat: 4:35 AM – 5:20 AM

Brahma Muhurat occurs before sunrise and is traditionally considered an especially suitable time for prayer, meditation, study, yoga, and spiritual practices.

Choghadiya is traditionally utilized to select favourable daytime and nighttime windows for travel, trade, business meetings, or shifting goods. Amrit, Shubh, and Labh are considered ideal for starting constructive work, whereas Rog, Kaal, and Udveg are typically avoided.

Today's Vrat and Festivals

(No major mandated Vrat or festival falls on this specific date in the standard regional calendars, making it an excellent routine workday focused on steady professional and personal productivity.)

Today's Shubh Muhurat

The following timings are considered auspicious according to the Hindu almanac calculations for Jaipur:

Muhurat

Time

Abhijit Muhurat

12:03 PM – 12:53 PM

Brahma Muhurat

4:35 AM – 5:20 AM

Labh Choghadiya Window

12:32 PM – 2:09 PM

Important: Muhurat suitability can depend on the nature of the activity and, in traditional Jyotish practice, may also depend on an individual's horoscope (Kundli). These timings should therefore be treated as general Panchang guidance rather than a personalized Muhurat.

Today's Ashubh Muhurat

  • Rahu Kaal: 9:18 AM – 10:55 AM

  • Yamaganda: 2:09 PM – 3:45 PM

  • Gulika Kaal: 6:05 AM – 7:42 AM

  • Dur Muhurat: 8:36 AM – 9:27 AM & 10:55 AM to 12:32 PM

  • Varjyam: 7:20 PM – 8:46 PM

These inauspicious time periods are traditionally avoided for beginning certain important activities or financial transactions.

Moon Rashi Today

Moon in Aquarius (Kumbha)

The Moon's placement in Aquarius brings progressive thinking, social connectivity, innovative ideas, and a humanitarian spirit. It is a wonderful day to connect broadly with family, friends, and community networks.

Sun Rashi Today

Sun in Leo (Simha)

With the Sun transiting through its own ruling sign of Leo, energy levels, leadership qualities, and personal confidence remain strong. It is an optimal time for administrative oversight, creative enterprise, and taking charge of key initiatives.

What Is Panchang?

Panchang, or Panchangam, is a traditional Hindu calendar and almanac based on five principal astronomical elements: Tithi (lunar day), Vara (weekday), Nakshatra (constellation), Yoga, and Karana (half-tithi).

The Panchang is traditionally consulted for understanding festival dates, Hindu calendar details, vrat observances, religious rituals, and auspicious timings.

Because many timings are based on local sunrise, sunset, and precise planetary positions, Panchang timings can vary from one geographic location to another.
