Today's Tithi

Shukla Ashtami / Navami — Shukla Paksha

Today is Shukla Ashtami, the eighth day of the bright lunar fortnight. This Tithi is traditionally associated with Goddess Mahagauri (Durga Puja) and is considered highly significant for spiritual practices, especially those dedicated to feminine divine energy. It often involves the Kanya Puja or Kumari Puja. This is followed by the brief observance of Maha Navami late at night.

Today's main Tithi (Ashtami) remains in effect until approximately 11:27 PM, after which Shukla Navami begins.

Tithi Significance

Ashtami is a very powerful day in the Durga Puja calendar, symbolizing the victory of good over evil and often marked by special pujas like the Sandhi Puja (marking the transition from Ashtami to Navami).

Today's Nakshatra

Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra

Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra, symbolized by the back legs of a cot or an elephant tusk, represents universal victory, perseverance, and ethical conduct. It is governed by the Vishvadevas (the ten universal deities). This constellation encourages long-term planning, leadership, and taking steady, righteous steps toward one's goals.

  • Nakshatra: Uttara Ashadha

  • Pada: Various padas active throughout the day and night

  • Ends at: 2:45 AM (early next morning)

Today's Yoga

Sukarma Yoga

Sukarma Yoga signifies auspicious deeds, meritorious actions, and good fortune. Activities initiated during this period tend to have positive, constructive, and beneficial outcomes, promoting harmony and success.

  • Yoga ends: 6:17 AM (early next morning, followed by Dhriti Yoga)

Today's Karana

Gara / Vanija Karana

Gara Karana is generally considered favorable for beginning studies, religious ceremonies, and foundational construction work. This is followed by Vanija Karana, which is favorable for trade and commerce.

  • Karana ends: 12:21 PM (followed by Vanija Karana)

Today's Rahu Kaal

  • Rahu Kaal: 12:14 PM – 1:44 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: 7:53 AM – 9:22 AM

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: 10:48 AM – 12:14 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 – 12:32 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: 4:50 AM – 5:36 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 Ashtami / Sandhi Puja (Durga Puja)

Today is Maha Ashtami, one of the most important days of Durga Puja. It begins with the worship of the weapons of Goddess Durga (Astra Puja) and is marked by the grand 'Pushpanjali' (offering flowers) in the morning. The highlight of the day is the Sandhi Puja, performed during the last 24 minutes of Ashtami and the first 24 minutes of Navami, commemorating the moment when Goddess Durga transforms into Goddess Chamunda to slay the demons Chunda and Munda.

Important timings:

  • Sandhi Puja Muhurat: 11:03 PM to 11:51 PM (This is the critical 48-minute window spanning the Tithi transition)

  • Tithi: Shukla Ashtami / Shukla Navami transition

Other Observances

  • Kanya Puja or Kumari Puja (worshipping young girls as manifestations of the Goddess) is also traditionally performed on this day.

Today's Shubh Muhurat

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

Muhurat

Time

Abhijit Muhurat

11:46 AM – 12:32 PM

Brahma Muhurat

4:50 AM – 5:36 AM

Amrit Choghadiya Window

10:48 AM – 12:14 PM & 4:43 PM – 6:07 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: 12:14 PM – 1:44 PM

  • Yamaganda: 7:53 AM – 9:22 AM

  • Gulika Kaal: 10:48 AM – 12:14 PM

  • Dur Muhurat: 08:08 AM – 08:55 AM & 12:32 PM – 01:19 PM

  • Varjyam: 10:14 PM – 11:59 PM

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

Moon Rashi Today

Moon in Capricorn (Makara)

The Moon's placement in Capricorn encourages grounded discipline, systemic organization, responsibility, and a practical mindset. It is a time for structured planning, professional focus, and handling duties with diligence.

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.
