Today's Tithi

Shukla Chaturthi — Shukla Paksha

Today is Shukla Chaturthi, the fourth day of the bright lunar fortnight. This Tithi is traditionally associated with Lord Ganesha and is considered favorable for starting new ventures, especially those requiring intellect, planning, and overcoming obstacles. It is observed as 'Vinayaka Chaturthi' in this bright fortnight, making it a highly auspicious day for worshipping Ganesha.

Today's Tithi remains in effect until approximately 2:28 PM, after which Shukla Panchami begins.

Tithi Significance

Chaturthi is generally regarded as an excellent day for commencing activities dedicated to Lord Ganesha and for removing impediments.

Today's Nakshatra

Hasta Nakshatra

Hasta Nakshatra, symbolized by a hand or a clenched fist, represents skill, dexterity, healing, and achieving results through one's own efforts. It is governed by Savitar (the solar deity of creative energy). This constellation encourages activities related to arts, crafts, business, communication, and tasks requiring practical application of knowledge.

Nakshatra: Hasta
Pada: Various padas active throughout the day and night
Ends at: 8:21 PM (late at night)

Today's Yoga

Vaidhriti Yoga

Vaidhriti Yoga is generally considered challenging or somewhat inauspicious in Vedic astrology. It signifies obstacles, separation, or facing unexpected difficulties. Activities initiated during this period may encounter resistance and require extra effort to succeed. It is generally advised to avoid starting major new ventures during this time.

Yoga ends: 11:50 PM (early next morning, followed by Vishkambha Yoga)

Today's Karana

Vanija / Vishti / Bava Karana

Vanija Karana is favorable for trade and commerce. This is followed by Vishti (Bhadra) Karana, which is often considered inauspicious for starting major new activities according to traditional Panchang. The day ends with Bava Karana, which is favorable for constructive actions.

Karana ends: 2:28 PM (Vanija), then 1:37 AM (Vishti), followed by Bava

Today's Rahu Kaal

Rahu Kaal: 3:04 PM – 4:28 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: 9:31 AM – 10:55 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: 12:19 PM – 1:42 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: 11:42 AM – 12:27 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: 5:05 AM – 5:54 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	6:43 AM – 8:06 AM	Inauspicious
2	8:06 AM – 9:31 AM	Auspicious
3	9:31 AM – 10:55 AM	Neutral
4	10:55 AM – 12:19 PM	Auspicious
5	12:19 PM – 1:42 PM	Auspicious
6	1:42 PM – 3:04 PM	Inauspicious
7	3:04 PM – 4:28 PM	Neutral
8	4:28 PM – 5:46 PM	Auspicious

Night Choghadiya

Choghadiya	Time	Nature
1	5:46 PM – 7:22 PM	Inauspicious
2	7:22 PM – 8:58 PM	Auspicious
3	8:58 PM – 10:34 PM	Inauspicious
4	10:34 PM – 12:10 AM (next day)	Neutral
5	12:10 AM – 1:46 AM (next day)	Auspicious
6	1:46 AM – 3:22 AM	Inauspicious
7	3:22 AM – 4:59 AM	Auspicious
8	4:59 AM – 6:43 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

Vinayaka Chaturthi

Today is observed as Vinayaka Chaturthi, the monthly Chaturthi of the bright lunar fortnight, dedicated to Lord Ganesha. Devotees observe a fast (vrat) and worship Lord Ganesha, seeking his blessings to remove obstacles and bring success and prosperity. It is considered especially auspicious for starting new endeavors.

Today's Shubh Muhurat

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

Muhurat	Time
Abhijit Muhurat	11:42 AM – 12:27 PM
Brahma Muhurat	5:05 AM – 5:54 AM
Amrit Choghadiya Window	8:06 AM – 9:31 AM & 10:55 AM – 12:19 PM & 4:28 PM – 5:46 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: 3:04 PM – 4:28 PM
Yamaganda: 9:31 AM – 10:55 AM
Gulika Kaal: 12:19 PM – 1:42 PM
Dur Muhurat: 08:57 AM – 09:42 AM & 11:13 PM – 12:00 AM (next day)
Varjyam: 04:50 AM – 06:34 AM (next day)

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

Moon Rashi Today

Moon in Virgo (Kanya)

The Moon's placement in Virgo encourages practicality, analytical thinking, attention to detail, service, and organizational skills. It is a time for focusing on efficiency, health, analytical tasks, and approaching situations with a methodical and grounded mindset.

Sun Rashi Today

Sun in Libra (Tula)

The Sun is transiting through Libra, which emphasizes balance, harmony, justice, partnership, and diplomacy. This period favors cooperation, negotiation, aesthetic appreciation, and focusing on fairness and equilibrium in all interactions.

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.
