Today's Tithi

Shukla Chaturdashi / Purnima — Shukla Paksha

Today marks the transition into Shukla Purnima, the sacred full moon phase that brings peak emotional clarity, spiritual culmination, and high positive energy. It provides a joyous Hindu calendar atmosphere ideal for spiritual reflections, evening prayers, and sacred commitments.

Today's initial Tithi remains in effect until approximately 9:31 AM, after which Shukla Purnima begins.

Tithi Significance

Purnima is deeply revered for full moon meditations, Satyanarayan Puja, taking holy dips, and offering charity. It represents completion, abundance, and the showering of divine grace.

Today's Nakshatra

Dhanishta Nakshatra

Governed by the Eight Vasus (deities of earthly abundance) and associated with music, wealth, and enterprise, Dhanishta symbolizes symphonic progress, skill, and resourcefulness. It is an excellent astrological constellation for financial investments, artistic expression, community events, and starting new ventures.

  • Nakshatra: Dhanishta

  • Ends at: 2:48 AM (early next morning)

Today's Yoga

Shobhana Yoga

Shobhana Yoga translates to brilliance, auspicious beauty, and shining success. Activities initiated under this yoga tend to benefit from radiant outcomes, pleasing interpersonal dynamics, and smooth execution.

  • Yoga ends: 10:04 AM (followed by Atiganda Yoga)

Today's Karana

Taitila Karana

Taitila is a movable Karana favorable for foundational construction work, laying stones, trade, and important domestic or business agreements.

  • Karana ends: 9:31 AM (followed by Bava Karana)

Rahu Kaal Today

  • Rahu Kaal: 1:52 PM – 3:29 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: 6:04 AM – 7:41 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: 9:18 AM – 10:55 AM

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: 4:35 AM – 5:19 AM

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

Today's Vrat and Festivals

Shravana Purnima & Satyanarayan Vrat

Today marks the observance of Shravana Purnima and Satyanarayan Vrat. It is an auspicious day dedicated to spiritual purification, performing sacred household prayers, reciting the Satyanarayan katha, and offering charity (daan) to the needy. Full moon days amplify mental peace and devotional focus.

Important timings:

  • Satyanarayan Puja Muhurat: Preferred during morning or evening auspicious Choghadiya windows.

  • Tithi: Shukla Purnima begins at 9:31 AM onwards

  • Nakshatra: Dhanishta

Other Observances

  • Evening full moon prayers and expression of gratitude

  • Performing ritual baths and charity work

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

4:35 AM – 5:19 AM

Shubh / Labh Choghadiya Window

9:18 AM – 10:55 AM & 3:46 PM – 5:22 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: 1:52 PM – 3:29 PM

  • Yamaganda: 6:04 AM – 7:41 AM

  • Gulika Kaal: 9:18 AM – 10:55 AM

  • Dur Muhurat: 10:11 AM – 11:02 AM & 3:13 PM – 4:04 PM

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

Moon Rashi Today

Moon in Capricorn transitioning to Aquarius (Kumbha)

The Moon moves from the grounded structure of Capricorn into the progressive, humanitarian, and visionary sign of Aquarius today. This shift encourages innovative thinking, community connection, and expansive future planning.

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.
