Today's Tithi

Shukla Chaturthi — Shukla Paksha

Today is Shukla Chaturthi, the fourth day of the bright lunar fortnight. This Tithi is strongly associated with Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. It is traditionally an excellent day for beginning new projects, especially those requiring focus, planning, and the overcoming of initial hurdles.

Today's Tithi remains in effect until approximately 9:18 PM, after which Shukla Panchami begins.

Tithi Significance

Chaturthi is generally regarded as favorable for dedicated efforts, especially those involving creative problem-solving or the start of significant new ventures under Ganesha's blessing.

Today's Nakshatra

Anuradha Nakshatra

Anuradha Nakshatra, symbolized by a triumphal arch or a row, represents success, exploration, and fostering friendships. It is governed by Mitra, the deity of friendship and partnership. This constellation encourages cooperation, networking, and building lasting connections.

  • Nakshatra: Anuradha

  • Pada: Various padas active throughout the day

  • Ends at: 12:16 AM (early next morning)

Today's Yoga

Ayushman / Saubhagya Yoga

The day begins with Ayushman Yoga, which signifies longevity, good health, and a happy disposition. This later transitions into Saubhagya Yoga, which is associated with good fortune, marital happiness, and general prosperity. Both are considered positive for undertaking important tasks.

  • Yoga ends: 5:44 AM (early next morning, followed by Saubhagya Yoga)

Today's Karana

Vanija / Vishti Karana

Vanija is a movable Karana favorable for trade, commerce, and profitable daily transactions. This is followed by Vishti (Bhadra) Karana, which is often considered inauspicious for starting major new activities.

  • Karana ends: 10:24 AM (followed by Vishti Karana)

Today's Rahu Kaal

  • Rahu Kaal: 9:15 AM – 10:43 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.

Today's Yamaganda Kaal

  • Yamaganda: 1:40 PM – 3:08 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: 6:21 AM – 7:48 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: 4:48 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

4:48 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: 9:15 AM – 10:43 AM

  • Yamaganda: 1:40 PM – 3:08 PM

  • Gulika Kaal: 6:21 AM – 7:48 AM

  • Dur Muhurat: 08:54 AM – 09:41 AM & 06:01 PM – 06:47 PM

  • Varjyam: 03:31 AM – 05:17 AM (next day)

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

Moon Rashi Today

Moon in Scorpio (Vrishchika)

The Moon's placement in Scorpio encourages deep introspection, emotional intensity, research, transformation, and focusing on hidden matters. It is a time for uncovering truths and engaging in profound personal work.

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.
