About this page

What this page tells you. The panchang is the Hindu calendar for one day and one place. It gives the tithi (lunar date), the nakshatra (the Moon's star), the yoga, the karana and the weekday, with sunrise and sunset.

How to read it. Look at the five parts at the top first, then the timings. Rahu kaal and Yamaganda are times the tradition avoids for starting something new. Abhijit is usually taken as the good time around midday. Choghadiya splits the day into eight parts, each marked 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.

Moonset

Moonrise and moonset are for this calendar day, midnight to midnight, at this place. The Moon rises about 50 minutes later each day, so on some days it does not rise or set at all. A dash means it happens on the day before or after.

The five parts of the day (panchang)

Each part lasts until the time shown.
Part	Value	Ends	What the old texts say
Tithi	Ekadashi then Dwadashi	09:11	Nanda (joyful) Suited in the texts to celebration, art and things begun for pleasure.
Nakshatra	Uttara Bhadrapada	07:01 11 Nov 2027	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	Harshana then Vajra	23:40	auspicious Counted among the favourable yogas in the muhurta literature.
Karana	Vishti then Bava · until 21:45 then Balava	09:11	This is Vishti (Bhadra), the karana the texts single out to avoid for auspicious beginnings.
Vara	Wednesday	—	Ruled by Mercury. Favoured for study, trade and communication.

These good and bad times come from the classical muhurat books, such as Muhurta Chintamani. They are traditional rules for choosing a time, not predictions.

Period	From	To	What the old texts say
Sunrise	06:21	—
Sunset	17:18	—

Gulika	10:27	11:50	Saturn's part of the day. It is avoided for the same reasons as Rahu kaal.
Yamaganda	07:43	09:05	Another time to avoid, also set by the weekday.
Abhijit	11:28	12:11	The time around local midday. The tradition sees it as the best time of the day, and the one to use when no other good time is free. Not used on Wednesdays.
Brahma muhurta	04:37	05:29	Before dawn: traditionally the hour for waking, prayer, meditation and study.
Pratah sandhya	05:03	06:21	The dawn sandhya, ending at sunrise: the time for the morning prayers.

Amrit kalam	01:54 11 Nov 2027	03:37 11 Nov 2027	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.

Special yogas and times of the day
Period	From	To	What the old texts say
Ravi yoga	Not today		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	06:21	09:11	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. on earth
Ganda moola	Not today		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.
Baana: Chora (theft)	02:49 11 Nov 2027	06:22 11 Nov 2027	Set by the Sun's degree within its sign, so each lasts about a day. Muhurta texts avoid Roga for medicine, Agni for building, Raja for dealings with authority, Chora for travel and Mrityu for weddings.

Chandrabalam and Tarabalam

These help you check the day against YOUR OWN Moon sign (rashi) and birth star (nakshatra). If yours is in the list, the day is favourable for you. Chandrabalam counts the Moon's sign from yours (1st, 3rd, 6th, 7th, 10th and 11th are good); Tarabalam counts the Moon's star from yours in groups of nine.

Chandrabalam for: Taurus, Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Capricorn, Pisces
Ashtama Chandra (Moon 8th) for: Leo
Tarabalam for: Ashwini, Krittika, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Ashlesha, Magha, Uttara Phalguni, Chitra, Vishakha, Jyeshtha, Mula, Uttara Ashadha, Dhanishta, Purva Bhadrapada, Revati

The sign rising in the east changes through the day, starting with the one rising at sunrise. Panchaka rahita divides the day wherever the rising sign, the tithi or the nakshatra changes, and marks each part as free of panchaka (good) or not.

Hora (planetary hours)

The day and the night are each split into twelve horas, starting at sunrise, and each hora is ruled by a planet. Day horas share out the daylight and night horas the darkness, so in summer a day hora is longer than an hour. The first hora of each day belongs to that day's planet, which is where the weekday names come from.
