Today's Tithi

Shukla Shashthi — Shukla Paksha

Today is Shukla Shashthi, the sixth day of the bright lunar fortnight. This Tithi is often associated with Lord Kartikeya (Murugan) and is considered highly favorable for spiritual growth, discipline, and overcoming challenges. It is also the second day of the Durga Puja festival in some traditions (Maha Shashthi).

Today's Tithi remains in effect until approximately 10:06 PM, after which Shukla Saptami begins.

Tithi Significance

Shashthi is traditionally a powerful day for dedicated efforts, especially those involving spiritual practice or seeking protection and courage.

Today's Nakshatra

Mula Nakshatra

Mula Nakshatra, symbolized by a tied bunch of roots or a lion's tail, represents roots, foundations, deep investigation, and sometimes destruction leading to transformation. It is governed by Nirriti, the deity of dissolution and calamity. This constellation encourages getting to the heart of the matter and making fundamental changes.

  • Nakshatra: Mula

  • Pada: Various padas active throughout the day and night

  • Ends at: 12:53 AM (early next morning)

Today's Yoga

Shobhana Yoga

Shobhana Yoga signifies brilliance, beauty, and auspicious outcomes. Activities initiated during this period tend to have positive, pleasing, and successful results, promoting harmony and good fortune.

  • Yoga ends: 5:50 AM (early next morning, followed by Atiganda Yoga)

Today's Karana

Balava Karana

Balava is a movable Karana favorable for auspicious ceremonies, charity work, productive daily commerce, and structured physical tasks.

  • Karana ends: 11:04 AM (followed by Kaulava Karana)

Today's Rahu Kaal

  • Rahu Kaal: 7:49 AM – 9:16 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: 10:44 AM – 12:12 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: 1:41 PM – 3:09 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 – 12:34 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: 4:49 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

Maha Shashthi (Durga Puja)

Today marks Maha Shashthi, an important day during the Durga Puja festival. It is believed that Goddess Durga descends to earth on this day. Special rituals like 'Bodhon' (invoking the Goddess) are performed, and the face of the idol is unveiled. Devotees welcome the Goddess with great fervour and devotion.

Important timings:

  • Bodhon Muhurat: Evening window (consult local pandit for exact temple timings)

  • Tithi: Shukla Shashthi

Today's Shubh Muhurat

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

Abhijit Muhurat

11:46 AM – 12:34 PM

Brahma Muhurat

4:49 AM – 5:35 AM

Amrit Choghadiya Window

10:44 AM – 12:12 PM & 4:34 PM – 6:02 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: 7:49 AM – 9:16 AM

  • Yamaganda: 10:44 AM – 12:12 PM

  • Gulika Kaal: 1:41 PM – 3:09 PM

  • Dur Muhurat: 12:34 PM – 01:21 PM & 03:42 PM – 04:28 PM

  • Varjyam: 04:19 PM – 06:06 PM

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

Moon Rashi Today

Moon in Sagittarius (Dhanu)

The Moon's placement in Sagittarius encourages optimism, exploration, philosophy, honesty, and seeking higher knowledge. It is a time for broadening horizons, both intellectually and physically, and for engaging in activities aligned with one's principles.

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.
