Today's Tithi

Shukla Navami / Dashami — Shukla Paksha

Today is primarily Shukla Navami, the ninth day of the bright lunar fortnight. This Tithi is traditionally dedicated to Goddess Siddhidatri (the final form worshipped during Durga Puja) and is considered highly auspicious for completing religious observances. It also marks the culmination of the nine-day Navaratri festival. Later at night, it transitions into Shukla Dashami, the day of Vijaya Dashami (Dussehra).

Today's main Tithi (Navami) remains in effect until approximately 11:58 PM, after which Shukla Dashami begins.

Tithi Significance

Navami is a powerful day symbolizing the victory of knowledge over ignorance. It is also an excellent day for starting new educational pursuits or completing any long-term spiritual vow.

Today's Nakshatra

Shravana Nakshatra

Shravana Nakshatra, symbolized by an ear or three footprints, represents listening, learning, acquisition of knowledge, and connectivity. It is governed by Lord Vishnu. This constellation encourages communication, education, research, and networking.

  • Nakshatra: Shravana

  • Pada: Various padas active throughout the day and night

  • Ends at: 3:48 AM (early next morning)

Today's Yoga

Dhriti Yoga

Dhriti Yoga signifies steadfastness, determination, and endurance. Activities initiated during this period tend to have lasting results and benefit from patience and perseverance. It is considered a good time for long-term planning and foundational work.

  • Yoga ends: 5:39 AM (early next morning, followed by Shula 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: 12:51 PM (followed by Vishti Karana)

Today's Rahu Kaal

  • Rahu Kaal: 1:44 PM – 3:13 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: 6:24 AM – 7:53 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: 10:49 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 Navami & Vijaya Dashami (Dussehra)

Today is a very significant day as it marks the conclusion of Navaratri with Maha Navami in the day and the commencement of Vijaya Dashami (Dussehra) in the evening/night. Dussehra symbolizes the victory of good over evil (Lord Rama over Ravana, and Maa Durga over Mahishasura). It is traditionally considered an extremely auspicious day for new beginnings, especially for starting education, business ventures, and for performing 'Ayudha Puja' (worshipping tools and instruments).

Important timings:

  • Auspicious Muhurat for Vijaya Dashami (Dussehra): Afternoon window, typically around Aparahna time (1:19 PM to 3:07 PM is often considered highly auspicious for starting new ventures or performing rituals).

  • Tithi: Shukla Navami transitioning to Shukla Dashami late at night.

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 / Vijaya Muhurat Window

10:49 AM – 12:14 PM & 1:19 PM – 3:07 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: 1:44 PM – 3:13 PM

  • Yamaganda: 6:24 AM – 7:53 AM

  • Gulika Kaal: 10:49 AM – 12:14 PM

  • Dur Muhurat: 10:06 AM – 10:53 AM & 02:05 PM – 02:51 PM

  • Varjyam: 03:08 AM – 04:53 AM (next day)

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.
