About this page

What this page tells you. The panchang is the Hindu almanac for one day and one place: the tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (the Moon’s star), yoga, karana and weekday, together with sunrise and sunset.

How to read it. Check the five parts at the top first, then the timings. Rahu Kaal and Yamaganda are periods the tradition avoids for starting new things; Abhijit is generally treated as the favourable midday window. Choghadiya splits the day into eight parts, each named good, neutral or poor.

Good to know: Times are worked out for the place you choose and change with it. Customs differ by region and family. If a ritual matters to you, confirm the timing with your priest or family tradition.

Sunrise

05:58

Sunset

18:50

Moonrise

23:58

Moonset

11:49

Moonrise and moonset are for the calendar day (midnight to midnight) at this place. The Moon comes up about 50 minutes later each day, so on some dates it does not rise, or does not set, within that day. A dash then means the event falls on the neighbouring day.

The five limbs

Each limb ends at the instant shown.
Limb	Value	Ends	What the texts say
Tithi	Saptami then Ashtami	13:25	Bhadra (auspicious) Favoured for service, health matters and steady work.
Nakshatra	Uttara Bhadrapada then Revati	16:24	The serpent of the deep. Associated with depth, restraint, and a quiet wisdom that the texts treat as the settled form of the previous nakshatra's intensity.
Yoga	Shobhana then Atiganda	14:31	auspicious Counted among the favourable yogas in the muhurta literature.
Karana	Bava then Balava · until 00:58 (08 Jul 2026) then Kaulava	13:25	One of the seven movable karanas, which repeat through the month.
Vara	Tuesday	—	Ruled by Mars. Associated with disputes, surgery and property.

Muhurta classifications from the classical muhurta literature (Muhurta Chintamani and the Panchang tradition). These are selection rules, not predictions.

Sun and muhurtas

Period	From	To	What the texts say
Sunrise	05:58	—
Sunset	18:50	—
Rahu kaal	15:37	17:13	An inauspicious period of about 90 minutes, its position set by the weekday. The texts advise against starting anything new in it.
Gulika	12:24	14:00	Saturn's sub-period; avoided for the same reasons as Rahu kaal, and regarded as more persistent in effect.
Yamaganda	09:11	10:48	A third inauspicious window, again fixed by weekday.
Abhijit	11:58	12:50	The eighth muhurta of the day, straddling local noon. Classically the most auspicious window of the day and the standard fallback when no other muhurta is available - except on Wednesdays.
Brahma muhurta	04:29	05:14	Before dawn: traditionally the hour for waking, prayer, meditation and study.
Pratah sandhya	04:51	05:58	The dawn sandhya, ending at sunrise: the time for the morning prayers.
Vijaya muhurta	14:33	15:24	Favoured for setting out on journeys and for work where success is wanted.
Godhuli muhurta	18:50	19:12	Cow-dust hour at sunset: favoured for weddings in many regions.
Sayahna sandhya	18:50	19:57	The dusk sandhya, from sunset: the time for the evening prayers.
Nishita muhurta	00:02	00:46 08 Jul 2026	The midnight muhurta, counterpart of Abhijit: kept for Shiva and Kali worship, as on Shivaratri.
Dur muhurta	08:33	09:24	Avoided for auspicious beginnings.
Dur muhurta	23:17	00:02 08 Jul 2026	Avoided for auspicious beginnings.
Amrit kalam	11:33	13:10	About an hour and a half fixed by the Moon's nakshatra, not the Sun: favoured for starting good work, and in the south it outweighs a weak hour of the day.
Varjyam	04:12 08 Jul 2026	05:46 08 Jul 2026	About an hour and a half fixed by the Moon's nakshatra, also called tyajyam: new undertakings are avoided in it. Much observed in the south, alongside Rahu kalam.

The day at a glance

Day length (dinamana): 12 h 51 min
Night length (ratrimana): 11 h 8 min
Midday (madhyahna): 12:24
Disha shool — direction to avoid for travel: North

Sunrise is taken when the upper edge of the Sun clears the horizon, allowing for atmospheric refraction — the convention of the Drik panchang. Almanacs that use the centre of the Sun can differ by two to four minutes.

Yogas and windows of the day
Period	From	To	What the texts say
Ravi yoga	05:58	16:24	When the Moon's nakshatra is the 4th, 6th, 9th, 10th, 13th or 20th from the Sun's: held to cancel many faults of the day, so it is sought for starting work.
Bhadra	Not today		The Vishti karana. Auspicious work is avoided in it, most of all while Bhadra is said to stay on earth; in the heavens or the underworld it is held harmless here.
Ganda moola	16:24	05:59 08 Jul 2026	The Moon in Ashwini, Ashlesha, Magha, Jyeshtha, Mula or Revati, the nakshatras at the joins of water and fire signs. A birth in it is traditionally followed by a shanti.
Panchaka	Whole day		The Moon in Kumbha or Meena, from the second half of Dhanishtha to the end of Revati. Southward travel, roofing and gathering firewood are traditionally put off.

Choghadiya

The night sequence starts at a different point in the cycle from the day one, which is why the two are tabulated separately rather than one being derived from the other.

Gowri panchangam

The Tamil reckoning divides the same eight parts of the day and names them differently. It is a separate table, not a translation - the two disagree about which part of the day is favourable.

Gowri	From	To	Quality
Dhanam	05:58	07:35	good money, purchase, trade
Sugam	07:35	09:11	good travel, ease, hospitality

Labham	17:13	18:50	good gain, new work

Hora

Twenty-four horas from sunrise, in the Chaldean order. They are UNEQUAL - the twelve day horas divide daylight and the twelve night horas divide darkness - so a summer day hora runs longer than an hour and its night hora shorter. The first hora of any day belongs to that day's own lord, which is where the weekday names come from.
