Today's Tithi

Shukla Purnima — Shukla Paksha

Today marks Shukla Purnima, the auspicious full moon lunar phase symbolizing absolute fulfillment, emotional harmony, and divine grace. It provides a joyous Hindu calendar atmosphere ideal for grand family gatherings, spiritual reflections, and festive celebrations.

Tithi Significance

Purnima is deeply revered for full moon meditations, Satyanarayan Puja, and celebrating major familial festivals like Raksha Bandhan. It represents culmination, abundance, and the sharing of love and protection among loved ones.

Today's Nakshatra

Satabhisha Nakshatra

Governed by Varuna (the deity of cosmic waters and celestial order) and symbolized by a hundred physicians or stars, Satabhisha represents healing, visionary insight, and deep research. It is an excellent astrological constellation for holistic wellness, philosophical inquiry, and community activities.

Nakshatra: Satabhisha
Ends at: 4:50 AM (early next morning)

Today's Yoga

Atiganda / Sukarma Yoga

While the day begins with Atiganda yoga, it transitions smoothly into Sukarma Yoga, which translates to noble actions, auspicious deeds, and successful undertakings. Activities initiated under Sukarma tend to benefit from positive, constructive results.

Today's Karana

Bava Karana

Bava is a movable Karana favorable for agricultural work, foundational tasks, auspicious ceremonies, and daily commerce.

Rahu Kaal Today

Rahu Kaal: 10:55 AM – 12:32 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: 3:46 PM – 5:22 PM

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: 7:41 AM – 9:18 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 Choghadiya

Day Choghadiya

Choghadiya	Time	Nature
1	6:05 AM – 7:41 AM	Char (Neutral)
2	7:41 AM – 9:18 AM	Labh (Auspicious)
3	9:18 AM – 10:55 AM	Amrit (Auspicious)
4	10:55 AM – 12:32 PM	Kaal (Inauspicious)
5	12:32 PM – 2:09 PM	Shubh (Auspicious)
6	2:09 PM – 3:46 PM	Rog (Inauspicious)
7	3:46 PM – 5:22 PM	Udveg (Inauspicious)
8	5:22 PM – 6:52 PM	Char (Neutral)

Night Choghadiya

Choghadiya	Time	Nature
1	6:52 PM – 8:16 PM	Rog (Inauspicious)
2	8:16 PM – 9:40 PM	Kaal (Inauspicious)
3	9:40 PM – 11:03 PM	Labh (Auspicious)
4	11:03 PM – 12:27 AM	Udveg (Inauspicious)
5	12:27 AM – 1:50 AM	Shubh (Auspicious)
6	1:50 AM – 3:14 AM	Amrit (Auspicious)
7	3:14 AM – 4:38 AM	Char (Neutral)
8	4:38 AM – 6:05 AM	Rog (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

Raksha Bandhan 2026

Today is the highly auspicious celebration of Raksha Bandhan. Since Bhadra concludes before sunrise, the entire morning opens up as a completely clear, highly auspicious window for tying the sacred rakhi thread. Families come together to celebrate sibling love, exchange gifts, perform aarti, and offer prayers for prosperity and well-being.

Important timings:

Best Shubh Muhurat for Raksha Bandhan: 6:05 AM to 9:48 AM (Morning window)
Aparahna Muhurat (Afternoon alternative): 1:30 PM to 4:00 PM
Tithi: Shukla Purnima
Nakshatra: Satabhisha

Other Observances

Performing Satyanarayan Vrat and Puja under the full moon energy
Evening lighting of oil lamps and charity (daan) to the needy

Today's Shubh Muhurat

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

Muhurat	Time
Raksha Bandhan Morning Muhurat	6:05 AM – 9:48 AM
Abhijit Muhurat	12:03 PM – 12:54 PM
Brahma Muhurat	4:35 AM – 5:19 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: 10:55 AM – 12:32 PM
Yamaganda: 3:46 PM – 5:22 PM
Gulika Kaal: 7:41 AM – 9:18 AM
Dur Muhurat: 8:36 AM – 9:27 AM & 12:54 PM – 1:45 PM

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

Moon Rashi Today

Moon in Aquarius (Kumbha)

The Moon's placement in Aquarius brings progressive thinking, social connectivity, innovative ideas, and a humanitarian spirit. It is a wonderful day to connect broadly with family, friends, and community networks.

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.
