Today's Tithi

Krishna Ashtami / Navami — Krishna Paksha

Today opens with Krishna Ashtami up to 7:42 AM, after which Navami begins. Ashtami is traditionally associated with inner strength, focused discipline, and spiritual protection, while Navami favors decisive actions, clearing hurdles, and completion of rigorous tasks.

Tithi Significance

Navami is often utilized for protective rituals, overcoming obstacles, and disciplined professional efforts.

Today's Nakshatra

Mrigashirsha Nakshatra

Governed by Soma (the moon god) and symbolized by a deer's head, Mrigashirsha represents searching, curiosity, gentle exploration, mental agility, and artistic or intellectual pursuits.

  • Nakshatra: Mrigashirsha

  • Ends at: 3:00 AM (early next morning)

Today's Yoga

Atiganda Yoga

Atiganda Yoga represents a period that can involve challenging hurdles or intense emotional tests. Traditionally, important new agreements or major risky undertakings are approached with caution or postponed during this time.

Today's Karana

Kaulava Karana

Kaulava is a movable Karana favorable for friendly interactions, daily commerce, welcoming guests, and building personal or professional alliances.

  • Karana ends: 7:42 AM (followed by Taitila Karana)

Rahu Kaal Today

  • Rahu Kaal: 9:16 AM – 10:52 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: 2:03 PM – 3:39 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: 6:06 AM – 7:41 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: 12:00 PM – 12:50 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.

Today's Vrat and Festivals

Teacher's Day / Routine Observances

Saturday is dedicated to Shani Dev, with devotees engaging in charitable acts, helping the needy, and performing routine prayers for stability, patience, and professional endurance.

Today's Shubh Muhurat

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

12:00 PM – 12:50 PM

Brahma Muhurat

Labh Choghadiya Window

12:28 PM – 2:03 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: 9:16 AM – 10:52 AM

  • Yamaganda: 2:03 PM – 3:39 PM

  • Gulika Kaal: 6:06 AM – 7:41 AM

  • Dur Muhurat: 8:36 AM – 9:26 AM & 10:50 AM – 11:40 AM

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

Moon Rashi Today

Moon in Taurus (Vrishabha) transitioning to Gemini (Mithuna)

The Moon transitions from grounded Taurus into intellectually vibrant and communicative Gemini during the evening, shifting the collective focus toward conversations, learning, writing, and social exchanges.

Sun Rashi Today

Sun in Leo (Simha)

With the Sun transiting through 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.
