Today's Tithi
Shukla Panchami — Shukla Paksha
Today begins with Shukla Panchami, a traditionally favored lunar day for focused efforts, learning, and balanced creative initiatives. It carries a supportive energy for artistic craft, fine details, and establishing stability.
Today's Tithi will remain in effect until approximately 08:59 AM, after which Shukla Shashthi begins.
Tithi Significance
Shukla Panchami is commonly associated with wisdom, knowledge, and spiritual growth, often looked upon favorably for starting educational pursuits or artistic tasks. Shukla Shashthi, which follows in the morning, is dedicated to Lord Kartikeya and brings protective, disciplined energies well-suited for structured planning and overcoming obstacles.
Today's Nakshatra
Vishakha
Vishakha Nakshatra is known for its determined, goal-oriented qualities, inspiring focus, ambition, and precision in work. It bridges the transition from outward social engagement to deep, dedicated application.
-
Nakshatra: Vishakha (shifting to Anuradha at 05:22 PM)
-
Pada: 4th Pada during morning hours
-
Ends at: 05:22 PM
-
Traditional significance: Governed by Jupiter and associated with power and purpose, it aids purposeful endeavors, craftsmanship, and organized enterprise.
Today's Yoga
Vaidhriti
Vaidhriti is traditionally viewed as a complex yoga that calls for mindfulness, inner reflection, and patience in dealings. It transitions later in the day into Vishkambha Yoga, which supports overcoming rivals and establishing strong foundations.
Yoga ends: 02:14 PM (followed by Vishkambha)
Today's Karana
Balava
Balava Karana is active during the morning hours, making it favorable for routine business tasks, commerce, and productive daily duties. It is followed by Kaulava Karana for the remainder of the day and evening.
Karana ends: 09:54 PM
Rahu Kaal Today
-
Rahu Kaal: 12:15 PM – 01:48 PM
-
Rahu Kaal is traditionally considered an unfavorable period for beginning important new activities. People who follow this tradition generally avoid starting major work during this period.
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: 08:15 AM – 09:48 AM
-
This timeframe, governed by Brihaspati's son Yametu, is traditionally avoided for launching new ventures, long travel, or signing critical agreements.
Gulika Kaal Today
-
Gulika Kaal: 10:48 AM – 12:15 PM
-
Associated with Saturn, this period is often used for routine tasks, though major auspicious ceremonies are typically deferred to more favorable windows.
Abhijit Muhurat Today
-
Abhijit Muhurat: 11:53 AM – 12:43 PM
-
Abhijit Muhurat is traditionally regarded as an auspicious period around midday and is commonly considered suitable for beginning certain important activities.
-
This neutralizes many minor astrological doshas, making it a reliable slot for important undertakings when other auspicious timings are unavailable.
Brahma Muhurat Today
-
Brahma Muhurat: 04:33 AM – 05:21 AM
-
Brahma Muhurat occurs before sunrise and is traditionally considered an especially suitable time for prayer, meditation, study and spiritual practices.

What Is Panchang?
Panchang, or Panchangam, is a traditional Hindu almanac based on five principal elements: Tithi, Vara, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana.
The Panchang is traditionally consulted for understanding the Hindu calendar, festivals, vrat, religious observances and auspicious timings.
Because many timings are based on local sunrise, sunset and astronomical positions, Panchang timings can vary from one location to another.
