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

06:04

Sunset

19:20

Moonrise

20:36

Moonset

06:57

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	Krishna Pratipada then Dwitiya	07:38	Nanda (joyful) Suited in the texts to celebration, art and things begun for pleasure.
Nakshatra	Purva Ashadha then Uttara Ashadha	06:51	The waters. Read as invigoration, persuasion and an optimism that the texts call 'unsubdued'.
Yoga	Indra then Vaidhriti	16:04	auspicious Counted among the favourable yogas in the muhurta literature.
Karana	Kaulava then Taitila · until 20:40 then Gara	07:38	One of the seven movable karanas, which repeat through the month.
Vara	Wednesday	—	Ruled by Mercury. Favoured for study, trade and communication.

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	06:04	—
Sunset	19:20	—
Rahu kaal	12:42	14:21	An inauspicious period of about 90 minutes, its position set by the weekday. The texts advise against starting anything new in it.
Gulika	11:02	12:42	Saturn's sub-period; avoided for the same reasons as Rahu kaal, and regarded as more persistent in effect.
Yamaganda	07:43	09:23	A third inauspicious window, again fixed by weekday.
Abhijit	12:15	13:08	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	04:38	05:21	Before dawn: traditionally the hour for waking, prayer, meditation and study.
Pratah sandhya	05:00	06:04	The dawn sandhya, ending at sunrise: the time for the morning prayers.
Vijaya muhurta	14:54	15:47	Favoured for setting out on journeys and for work where success is wanted.
Godhuli muhurta	19:20	19:41	Cow-dust hour at sunset: favoured for weddings in many regions.
Sayahna sandhya	19:20	20:24	The dusk sandhya, from sunset: the time for the evening prayers.
Nishita muhurta	00:20	01:03 02 Jul 2026	The midnight muhurta, counterpart of Abhijit: kept for Shiva and Kali worship, as on Shivaratri.
Dur muhurta	12:15	13:08	Avoided for auspicious beginnings.
Amrit kalam	02:21 02 Jul 2026	04:08 02 Jul 2026	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	15:43	17:29	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): 13 h 15 min
Night length (ratrimana): 10 h 44 min
Midday (madhyahna): 12:42
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.

The Shaka year changes at Chaitra shukla pratipada and the Gujarati year at Kartika shukla pratipada, the day after Diwali. The two ritus differ because one follows the lunar month and the other the Sun's actual season.

Yogas and windows of the day
Period	From	What the 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	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	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	Not today	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
Rogam	06:04	07:43	avoid medicine only
Visham	07:43	09:23	avoid nothing new
Labham	09:23	11:02	good gain, new work

Soram	17:40	19:20	avoid nothing new

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.
