Daily Panchang

Shukla Paksha

Friday, Shukla Paksha. The tithi is Purnima till night, then Pratipada begins. Purnima is the full moon, a day for devotion and completing what you started. The Moon is in Swati nakshatra till early morning the next day, then Vishakha. Abhijit Muhurta (11:51 to 12:44) is good for new work; avoid Rahu Kaal (10:39 to 12:18). The Moon is in Tula rashi and the Sun in Mesha.

Day at a glance

A timing system used mainly in Gujarat, Rajasthan and North India: eight day windows and eight night windows, each rated good, neutral, or bad. A quick way to pick (or avoid) a slot for an everyday task.

A South Indian tradition that splits the day and night into eight Gowri windows each, used to pick auspicious slots for everyday work.

A short-list of the seven most important windows: three auspicious (Brahma, Abhijit, Amrit) and four to avoid (Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Varjyam). Some days may show fewer if a window isn't computed.

Each day and night splits into twelve planetary hours, each ruled by a planet. The ruling planet sets the hour's tone, so pick an hour whose ruler suits the task.
