Today's Tithi

Krishna Paksha Chaturdashi — Krishna Paksha

Today is Krishna Paksha Chaturdashi, the fourteenth day of the waning lunar fortnight. This Tithi is traditionally associated with Lord Shiva (often worshipped as part of monthly Shivaratri observances when it falls on Trayodashi/Chaturdashi) and is generally considered favorable for intense spiritual practices, discipline, and seeking liberation. It is also the day immediately preceding Amavasya (New Moon).

Today's Tithi remains in effect until approximately 5:39 PM, after which Krishna Paksha Amavasya begins.

Tithi Significance

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

Today's Nakshatra

Ashlesha Nakshatra

Ashlesha Nakshatra, symbolized by a coiled serpent, represents intensity, hypnosis, deep insight, and transformation. It is governed by the Sarpas (serpents). This constellation encourages deep investigation, unconventional thinking, and undertaking transformative processes that may require intense focus and sometimes ruthless decisiveness.

Nakshatra: Ashlesha
Pada: Various padas active throughout the day and night
Ends at: 11:29 PM (late at night)

Today's Yoga

Sadhya Yoga

Sadhya Yoga signifies accomplishment, success, and reaching one's goals through focused effort. Activities initiated during this period tend to yield positive results, promoting achievement and good fortune. It is considered an excellent time for undertaking important tasks and ventures.

Yoga ends: 12:55 AM (early next morning, followed by Subha Yoga)

Today's Karana

Bava / Balava / Kaulava 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. The day ends with Kaulava Karana, which is favorable for friendly interactions.

Karana ends: 7:05 AM (Bava), then 5:39 PM (Balava), followed by Kaulava

Today's Rahu Kaal

Rahu Kaal: 1:42 PM – 3:09 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: 6:38 AM – 8:05 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 – 12:15 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: 11:43 AM – 12:28 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: 5:00 AM – 5:49 AM

Brahma Muhurat occurs before sunrise and is traditionally considered an especially suitable time for prayer, meditation, study, yoga, and spiritual practices.

Today's Choghadiya

Day Choghadiya

Choghadiya	Time	Nature
1	6:38 AM – 8:05 AM	Inauspicious
2	8:05 AM – 9:32 AM	Auspicious
3	9:32 AM – 10:49 AM	Neutral
4	10:49 AM – 12:15 PM	Auspicious
5	12:15 PM – 1:42 PM	Auspicious
6	1:42 PM – 3:09 PM	Inauspicious
7	3:09 PM – 4:35 PM	Neutral
8	4:35 PM – 6:02 PM	Auspicious

Night Choghadiya

Choghadiya	Time	Nature
1	6:02 PM – 7:25 PM	Inauspicious
2	7:25 PM – 8:49 PM	Auspicious
3	8:49 PM – 10:12 PM	Inauspicious
4	10:12 PM – 11:35 PM	Neutral
5	11:35 PM – 1:00 AM (next day)	Auspicious
6	1:00 AM – 2:23 AM	Inauspicious
7	2:23 AM – 3:46 AM	Auspicious
8	3:46 AM – 5:10 AM	Inauspicious

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:

Muhurat	Time
Abhijit Muhurat	11:43 AM – 12:28 PM
Brahma Muhurat	5:00 AM – 5:49 AM
Labh / Amrit Choghadiya Window	8:05 AM – 9:32 AM & 10:49 AM – 1:42 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: 1:42 PM – 3:09 PM
Yamaganda: 6:38 AM – 8:05 AM
Gulika Kaal: 10:49 AM – 12:15 PM
Dur Muhurat: 10:03 AM – 10:50 AM & 02:48 PM – 03:35 PM
Varjyam: 10:46 PM – 12:33 AM (next day)

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

Moon Rashi Today

Moon in Cancer (Karka)

The Moon's placement in Cancer encourages emotions, home, family, nurturing, intuition, and a protective nature. It is a time for focusing on domestic affairs, emotional connections, and responding to situations with empathy and sensitivity.

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.
