Today's Tithi

Shukla Panchami — Shukla Paksha

Today is Shukla Panchami, the fifth day of the bright lunar fortnight. This Tithi is often associated with wisdom, knowledge, and the arts, and is considered favorable for initiating new studies, learning, and creative activities. It is also sometimes associated with Nag Panchami in certain months.

Today's Tithi remains in effect until approximately 9:34 PM, after which Shukla Shashthi begins.

Tithi Significance

Panchami is generally considered auspicious for new beginnings, especially those related to education, fine arts, and seeking blessings for intellect and knowledge.

Today's Nakshatra

Jyeshtha Nakshatra

Jyeshtha Nakshatra, symbolized by an earring or a circular amulet, represents seniority, authority, responsibility, and transformative power. It is governed by Indra, the king of gods. This constellation encourages leadership, taking charge, and making significant life decisions.

  • Nakshatra: Jyeshtha

  • Pada: Various padas active throughout the day

  • Ends at: 12:34 AM (early next morning)

Today's Yoga

Saubhagya / Shobhana Yoga

The day is governed by Saubhagya Yoga, which translates to good fortune, marital happiness, and general prosperity. This later transitions into Shobhana Yoga, which is associated with brilliance, beauty, and auspicious outcomes. Both are considered positive for undertaking important tasks.

  • Yoga ends: 5:45 AM (early next morning, followed by Shobhana Yoga)

Today's Karana

Bava / Balava Karana

Bava is a movable Karana favorable for agricultural work, foundational tasks, auspicious ceremonies, and daily commerce. This is followed by Balava Karana, which is also generally considered auspicious.

  • Karana ends: 10:34 AM (followed by Balava Karana)

Today's Rahu Kaal

  • Rahu Kaal: 4:36 PM – 6:10 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: 12:13 PM – 1:46 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: 3:11 PM – 4:36 PM

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 – 5:35 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

Vivah Panchang

Today is sometimes considered a suitable day for marriage ceremonies (Vivah Muhurat), depending on regional traditions and specific calculations, as Panchami is generally auspicious. Consult a local priest or astrologer for personalized muhurat advice.

(Note: This depends on regional calendars and additional factors; always verify with a local expert for wedding dates.)

Other Observances

  • General prayers for knowledge and wisdom, especially related to Goddess Saraswati or Lord Ganesha.

Today's Shubh Muhurat

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

Muhurat

Abhijit Muhurat

11:46 AM – 12:33 PM

Brahma Muhurat

4:48 AM – 5:35 AM

Amrit Choghadiya Window

10:44 AM – 12:13 PM & 4:36 PM – 6:10 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: 4:36 PM – 6:10 PM

  • Yamaganda: 12:13 PM – 1:46 PM

  • Gulika Kaal: 3:11 PM – 4:36 PM

  • Dur Muhurat: 05:05 PM – 05:50 PM & 08:54 AM – 09:40 AM

  • Varjyam: 09:02 PM – 10:46 PM

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.
