Today's Tithi

Shukla Dashami — Shukla Paksha

Today begins with Shukla Dashami, a stable and auspicious lunar phase traditionally favored for righteous actions, governance, and important personal or professional undertakings. It supports steady momentum and harmonious progress.

Today's Tithi will remain in effect until approximately 08:01 PM, after which Shukla Ekadashi (Parivartini Ekadashi) begins.

Tithi Significance

Shukla Dashami is ideal for successful completion of tasks and establishing long-term stability. The evening transition brings in Shukla Ekadashi, widely observed as Parivartini Ekadashi, a sacred fasting day dedicated to Lord Vishnu, marking the turning over of Lord Vishnu during his cosmic slumber.

Today's Nakshatra

Purva Ashadha

Purva Ashadha Nakshatra carries an invigorating, invincible energy that inspires determination, philosophical exploration, and strong leadership capabilities. It encourages bold strides and unwavering focus on long-term goals.

  • Nakshatra: Purva Ashadha (shifting to Uttara Ashadha early morning)

  • Pada: Latter Padas active during early hours

  • Ends at: 04:34 AM

  • Traditional significance: Fosters resilience, persuasive communication, and victorious undertakings.

Today's Yoga

Shobhana

Shobhana Yoga rules the daytime hours, bringing a brilliant, auspicious vibration that supports harmonious relationships, creative endeavors, and auspicious beginnings. It transitions later in the afternoon into Atiganda Yoga.

Yoga ends: 04:05 PM (followed by Atiganda)

Today's Karana

Taitila

Taitila Karana is active during the early morning hours, supporting routine commercial duties and timely morning operations before transitioning into Gara Karana through the day.

Karana ends: 08:01 PM (Gara)

Rahu Kaal Today

  • Rahu Kaal: 07:40 AM – 09:11 AM

  • 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: 10:42 AM – 12:14 PM

  • This timeframe is traditionally avoided for launching new ventures, long travel, or signing critical agreements.

Gulika Kaal Today

  • Gulika Kaal: 01:45 PM – 03: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: 11:49 AM – 12:38 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: 04:34 AM – 05:21 AM

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

  • Vrat Parana (Next Day): September 22, after sunrise

  • Tithi: Shukla Ekadashi begins at 08:01 PM

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.
