Today's Tithi

Shukla Saptami — Shukla Paksha

Today is Shukla Saptami, the seventh day of the bright lunar fortnight. This Tithi is dedicated to the Sun God (Surya Dev) and is considered highly auspicious for worshipping the Sun, especially for health, vitality, and overcoming challenges. It is also observed as a significant day during the Chhath Puja festival (specifically the day of 'Rati Arghya' or evening offerings to the setting sun, known as Chhath Sandhya Arghya).

Today's Tithi remains in effect until approximately 1:27 PM, after which Shukla Ashtami begins.

Tithi Significance

Saptami is traditionally regarded as an auspicious day for all good works, especially those related to health, energy, and ceremonies.

Today's Nakshatra

Visakha Nakshatra

Visakha Nakshatra, symbolized by a triumphal arch or a potter's wheel, represents power, ambition, determination, and achieving goals through sustained effort. It is governed by Indra and Agni (the deities of thunder and fire). This constellation encourages ambitious undertakings, competitive activities, and tasks that require focused energy and persistence.

Nakshatra: Visakha
Pada: Various padas active throughout the day and night
Ends at: 8:26 PM (late at night)

Today's Yoga

Ayushman Yoga

Ayushman Yoga signifies long life, good health, and overall well-being. Activities initiated during this period tend to have favorable outcomes, promoting longevity, success, and positive experiences. It is considered a very favorable time for undertaking important tasks and ventures, especially those related to health and stability.

Yoga ends: 10:50 PM (early next morning, followed by Saubhagya Yoga)

Today's Karana

Taitila / Gara / Vanija Karana

Taitila Karana is generally considered favorable for beginning educational activities and performing religious ceremonies. This is followed by Gara Karana, which is also generally considered favorable for constructive actions. The day ends with Vanija Karana, which is favorable for trade.

Karana ends: 1:27 PM (Taitila), then 12:58 AM (Gara), followed by Vanija

Today's Rahu Kaal

Rahu Kaal: 10:51 AM – 12:14 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: 3:00 PM – 4:23 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.

Today's Gulika Kaal

Gulika Kaal: 9:28 AM – 10:51 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.

Today's Abhijit Muhurat

Abhijit Muhurat: 11:41 AM – 12:26 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: 5:08 AM – 5:57 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	6:46 AM – 8:08 AM	Inauspicious
2	8:08 AM – 9:29 AM	Auspicious
3	9:29 AM – 10:51 AM	Neutral
4	10:51 AM – 12:14 PM	Auspicious
5	12:14 PM – 1:36 PM	Auspicious
6	1:36 PM – 2:58 PM	Inauspicious
7	2:58 PM – 4:20 PM	Neutral
8	4:20 PM – 5:43 PM	Auspicious

Night Choghadiya

Choghadiya	Time	Nature
1	5:43 PM – 7:21 PM	Inauspicious
2	7:21 PM – 8:58 PM	Auspicious
3	8:58 PM – 10:35 PM	Inauspicious
4	10:35 PM – 12:12 AM (next day)	Neutral
5	12:12 AM – 1:49 AM (next day)	Auspicious
6	1:49 AM – 3:26 AM	Inauspicious
7	3:26 AM – 5:03 AM	Auspicious
8	5:03 AM – 6:46 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

Chhath Puja (Sandhya Arghya)

Today is observed as the main day of the Chhath Puja festival, dedicated to the Sun God (Surya Dev) and Chhathi Maiya. On this day, devotees observe a strict fast (without water) and gather at riverbanks, ponds, or other water bodies during the evening twilight to offer Sandhya Arghya (offerings and prayers) to the setting sun. It is a day of immense devotion, community, and gratitude for life and sustenance.

Today's Shubh Muhurat

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

Muhurat	Time
Abhijit Muhurat	11:41 AM – 12:26 PM
Brahma Muhurat	5:08 AM – 5:57 AM
Chhath Puja Sandhya Arghya Window	Sunset (approx. 5:43 PM, depends on ritual)

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: 10:51 AM – 12:14 PM
Yamaganda: 3:00 PM – 4:23 PM
Gulika Kaal: 9:28 AM – 10:51 AM
Dur Muhurat: 08:14 AM – 08:59 AM & 12:57 PM – 01:42 PM
Varjyam: 06:53 PM – 08:36 PM

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

Moon Rashi Today

Moon in Libra (Tula) transitioning to Scorpio (Vrishchika)

The Moon's placement in Libra encourages balance, harmony, justice, partnership, and diplomacy. As it shifts into Scorpio late at night, the focus moves towards depth, intensity, transformation, research, and emotional exploration.

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.
