Daily Panchang

Shukla Paksha

Monday, Shukla Paksha. The tithi is Dvitiya till evening, then Tritiya begins. Dvitiya is a steady day, good for working with others. The Moon is in Rohini nakshatra till morning, then Mrigashira. Amrit Siddhi Yoga is formed on this day, an auspicious time for new work. Abhijit Muhurta (11:50 to 12:44) is good for new work; avoid Rahu Kaal (07:11 to 08:53). The Moon and the Sun are both in Vrishabha rashi.

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.
