Today's Tithi

Shukla Tritiya — Shukla Paksha

Today is Shukla Tritiya, the third day of the bright lunar fortnight. This Tithi is known for success, growth, and creative energy. It is often associated with deities like Ganesha and Goddess Parvati and is considered highly favorable for new ventures, especially those related to arts, beauty, and initiating new projects.

Today's Tithi remains in effect until approximately 9:07 PM, after which Shukla Chaturthi begins.

Tithi Significance

Tritiya is considered a very auspicious day for material gain, prosperity, and taking concrete steps toward long-term goals.

Today's Nakshatra

Vishakha Nakshatra

Vishakha Nakshatra, symbolized by a decorated archway or a potter's wheel, represents determination, focus, and eventual success after dedicated effort. It is governed by both Indra and Agni, combining qualities of leadership and transformative energy. This constellation encourages persistence in achieving one's objectives.

  • Nakshatra: Vishakha

  • Pada: Various padas active throughout the day

  • Ends at: 11:57 PM (near midnight)

Today's Yoga

Priti Yoga

Priti Yoga signifies affection, love, harmony, and goodwill. It is an excellent time for building and strengthening relationships, social interactions, negotiations, and engaging in activities that promote peace and mutual understanding.

  • Yoga ends: 5:11 AM (early next morning)

Today's Karana

Gara Karana

Gara Karana is generally considered favorable for beginning studies, religious ceremonies, and foundational construction work.

  • Karana ends: 9:31 AM (followed by Vanija Karana)

Today's Rahu Kaal

  • Rahu Kaal: 10:43 AM – 12:12 PM

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.

Today's Yamaganda Kaal

  • Yamaganda: 3:10 PM – 4:38 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.

Today's Gulika Kaal

  • Gulika Kaal: 7:48 AM – 9:15 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.

Today's Abhijit Muhurat

  • Abhijit Muhurat: 11:46 AM – 12:33 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.

Note: This timing is specific to Jaipur and nearby regions.

Today's Brahma Muhurat

  • Brahma Muhurat: 4:47 AM – 5:34 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

(There are no major fasts or festivals scheduled for today according to the standard Hindu calendar, making it a suitable day for routine constructive activities.)

Today's Shubh Muhurat

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

Abhijit Muhurat

11:46 AM – 12:33 PM

Brahma Muhurat

4:47 AM – 5:34 AM

Labh Choghadiya Window

10:43 AM – 12:12 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: 10:43 AM – 12:12 PM

  • Yamaganda: 3:10 PM – 4:38 PM

  • Gulika Kaal: 7:48 AM – 9:15 AM

  • Dur Muhurat: 08:54 AM – 09:41 AM & 12:33 PM – 01:20 PM

  • Varjyam: 10:38 PM – 12:23 AM (next day)

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

Moon Rashi Today

Moon in Libra (Tula) transitioning to Scorpio (Vrishchika)

The Moon begins the day in Libra, fostering balance and social harmony, and then shifts into Scorpio in the afternoon. The Scorpio Moon encourages deeper introspection, emotional intensity, research, and focusing on transformative processes.

Sun Rashi Today

Sun in Virgo (Kanya)

The Sun is transiting through Virgo, which emphasizes practicality, analytical thinking, attention to detail, service, and organizational skills. This period favors meticulous planning, health consciousness, and focusing on efficiency in work.

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.
