Today's Tithi

Shukla Trayodashi / Chaturdashi — Shukla Paksha

Today opens with Shukla Trayodashi, an auspicious lunar phase deeply connected with Lord Shiva, spiritual dedication, and seeking long-term stability. It provides a settled Hindu calendar energy ideal for finalizing commitments and constructive business planning.

Today's initial Tithi remains in effect until approximately 7:42 AM, after which Shukla Chaturdashi begins as the build-up toward the full moon Purnima phase.

Tithi Significance

Trayodashi is cherished for Pradosh Vrat observances, which help eliminate obstacles and invite peace. Chaturdashi carries intense spiritual energy, often utilized for deep meditation, focused introspection, and devotional prayers.

Today's Nakshatra

Shravana Nakshatra

Governed by Lord Vishnu, Shravana symbolizes listening, learning, acquisition of knowledge, and connectivity. It is an excellent astrological constellation for education, strategic communication, financial planning, and organized administrative work.

Nakshatra: Shravana
Pada: Pada 1 active through the early morning hours
Ends at: 12:35 AM (early next morning)

Today's Yoga

Saubhagya Yoga

Saubhagya Yoga translates to good fortune, marital harmony, and lasting happiness. Activities initiated under this auspicious yoga tend to benefit from positive outcomes, peaceful resolutions, and supportive cooperative efforts.

Yoga ends: 9:02 AM (followed by Shobhana Yoga)

Today's Karana

Kaulava Karana

Kaulava is a movable Karana favorable for friendly interactions, welcoming guests, daily commerce, and building productive personal or business alliances.

Karana ends: 7:42 AM (followed by Taitila Karana)

Rahu Kaal Today

Rahu Kaal: 12:28 PM – 2:05 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.

Yamaganda Kaal Today

Yamaganda: 7:40 AM – 9:15 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.

Gulika Kaal Today

Gulika Kaal: 10:52 AM – 12:28 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.

Abhijit Muhurat Today

Abhijit Muhurat: 12:03 PM – 12:54 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.

Brahma Muhurat Today

Brahma Muhurat: 4:34 AM – 5:18 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	6:03 AM – 7:40 AM	Labh (Auspicious)
2	7:40 AM – 9:15 AM	Amrit (Auspicious)
3	9:15 AM – 10:52 AM	Kaal (Inauspicious)
4	10:52 AM – 12:28 PM	Shubh (Auspicious)
5	12:28 PM – 2:05 PM	Rog (Inauspicious)
6	2:05 PM – 3:40 PM	Udveg (Inauspicious)
7	3:40 PM – 5:17 PM	Char (Neutral)
8	5:17 PM – 6:53 PM	Labh (Auspicious)

Night Choghadiya

Choghadiya	Time	Nature
1	6:53 PM – 8:17 PM	Amrit (Auspicious)
2	8:17 PM – 9:41 PM	Char (Neutral)
3	9:41 PM – 11:05 PM	Rog (Inauspicious)
4	11:05 PM – 12:29 AM	Kaal (Inauspicious)
5	12:29 AM – 1:52 AM	Labh (Auspicious)
6	1:52 AM – 3:16 AM	Udveg (Inauspicious)
7	3:16 AM – 4:40 AM	Shubh (Auspicious)
8	4:40 AM – 6:04 AM	Amrit (Auspicious)

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

Pradosh Vrat (Shukla Trayodashi)

Today marks the observance of Pradosh Vrat, dedicated to the worship of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Fasting and offering prayers during the twilight Pradosh window are believed to absolve past misdeeds, bring mental peace, clear financial hurdles, and bless families with prosperity and health.

Important timings:

Pradosh Puja Muhurat: 6:53 PM – 9:09 PM (Evening twilight window)
Tithi: Shukla Trayodashi / Chaturdashi transition
Nakshatra: Shravana

Other Observances

Special Vedic prayers and chanting of the Maha Mrunjayaya Mantra
Evening lighting of oil lamps (Diya) near home shrines or Shiva temples
Acts of charity (daan) and feeding the needy

Today's Shubh Muhurat

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

Muhurat	Time
Abhijit Muhurat	12:03 PM – 12:54 PM
Brahma Muhurat	4:34 AM – 5:18 AM
Labh / Amrit Choghadiya Window	6:03 AM – 9:15 AM

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: 12:28 PM – 2:05 PM
Yamaganda: 7:40 AM – 9:15 AM
Gulika Kaal: 10:52 AM – 12:28 PM
Dur Muhurat: 11:51 AM – 12:43 PM
Varjyam: 11:21 AM – 12:51 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 brings grounded discipline, systemic organization, and a practical mindset. This astrological positioning encourages professional focus, structural planning, and meticulous management of long-term assets.

Sun Rashi Today

Sun in Leo (Simha)

With the Sun transiting through its own ruling sign of Leo, energy levels, leadership qualities, and personal confidence remain strong. It is an optimal time for administrative oversight, creative enterprise, and taking charge of key initiatives.

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.
