Today’s Panchang— all five limbs, muhurat, and timings.

Because Panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset, which vary with latitude and longitude. Sunrise in Mumbai is about 8 minutes later than in Delhi, and 30+ minutes later than in Kolkata.

Since Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, and Gulika Kaal are calculated as fractions of the daylight period starting from sunrise, they shift accordingly. Our Panchang auto-detects your exact location for precise timings.

Rahu Kaal is a ~90-minute inauspicious period each day, ruled by the shadow planet Rahu. It's traditionally avoided for starting new ventures, important meetings, auspicious events, and journey commencement.

Classical view: avoid initiations during Rahu Kaal. Ongoing activities are fine. Daily routines (eating, office work, etc.) are not affected.

Vaar is the weekday (Monday, Tuesday, etc.) — simple solar-based 7-day cycle.

Tithi is the lunar day — there are 30 tithis in a lunar month, calculated by the Moon's angular distance from the Sun. Tithis don't align with solar days — a single tithi can span parts of two calendar days.

Almost always. Abhijit is the ~48-minute period around local solar noon and is considered highly auspicious for most activities — especially starting new work, signing agreements, or making important decisions.

Exception: Abhijit is not considered favorable on Wednesdays according to most classical sources. Also, when Abhijit overlaps with Rahu Kaal or Yamaganda, its auspiciousness is partially nullified.

Of course — Panchang is a guide, not a rule. Most successful people don't consult Panchang for every decision. Where Panchang is most useful: new ventures, auspicious ceremonies, marriage dates, griha pravesh, and similar life events.

For daily work, health habits, and relationships — your own common sense and values matter far more than any muhurat.
