What today shows क्या

Shukla Shashthi is a Nanda (नन्दा) tithi — a tithi of joy: suited to celebration, music, and anything meant to be enjoyed.

The Moon is in Jyeshtha. The earring or umbrella, and Indra, the eldest. Read as seniority: protectiveness, competence, the weight of being the one others rely on — and the tiredness that comes with it. The texts associate it with responsibility carried a long time.

Friday belongs to Venus, so the day carries love, comfort, art and a pleasing way with people.

When today कब

  • Rahu kaal राहु काल10:40 – 12:06
  • Yamaganda यमगण्ड14:58 – 16:24
  • Gulika kaal गुलिक काल07:48 – 09:14
  • Abhijit muhurta अभिजित मुहूर्त11:43 – 12:29

Rahu kaal, Yamaganda and Gulika are the parts of the day the texts say to avoid for beginnings; Abhijit is the midday window favoured for them. Tithi until 17 Oct, 05:56, nakshatra until 16 Oct, 06:48.

What to do क्या करें

Begin outside Rahu kaal, in Abhijit if you can. Venus's day has its own observance — the day's practice, not a remedy; a remedy is given only for a graha weak in your own chart:

  • Venus — lord of Friday — the day's observance · Friday

    Upay

    Vedic: Worship Lakshmi on Fridays and give white sweets in charity.

    Lal Kitab: Respect your spouse, and feed a cow before you eat.

Readings follow Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra and Saravali (B. Suryanarain Rao's translations) and describe what the tradition reads — they promise nothing. Upay are the traditional practices the Jyotish app lists: free, at home, nothing to buy — and given only for a weak or afflicted graha, never a strong one. Not medical, financial or legal advice.

Today's panchang for your place — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and sunrise

The five limbs of the day, computed for where you are: tithi and nakshatra with the time they end, yoga, karana and vara, sunrise and sunset, the lunar month in both systems, and the vrats coming up. Change the date to read any day.

The short answer

A panchang gives five things for a day: the tithi (the Moon's phase in thirtieths of a lunar month), the vara (weekday), the nakshatra (the Moon's star), the yoga (from the Sun's and Moon's longitudes added) and the karana (half a tithi). All five follow from where the Sun and Moon are, so this page computes them for your place and date instead of reprinting a table made for another city. The tithi and nakshatra named for a day are the ones running at your sunrise, which is why sunrise is computed too. Below them: the lunar month and samvat in purnimanta and amanta reckoning, and the Ekadashi, Pradosh, Purnima, Amavasya and Sankashti dates for the coming month.

How to

Four steps to today's panchang

  1. Step 1: Allow your location, or pick a city

    Sunrise, and with it the tithi named for the day, depends on where you are. Your coordinates stay in your browser.

  2. Step 2: Read today's five

    Tithi, vara, nakshatra, yoga and karana, each with the time it ends where that applies, in English and Hindi.

  3. Step 3: Check the month

    The lunar month and samvat in both the North Indian (purnimanta) and South Indian (amanta) reckoning, so the same day reads right for your family.

  4. Step 4: Change the date

    Pick any date to read its panchang — a birth date, a wedding date, next Monday — and see the vrats in the month after it.

Getting it right

Worth knowing before you read it

  • The day begins at sunrise

    A tithi can end at 2 p.m. and the day is still named for it, because it was running at sunrise. The end time is shown so you can see whether a vrat or puja falls inside it.

  • Two Ekadashis a month, sometimes two days

    Ekadashi comes once in each paksha. When the tithi spans two sunrises, Smarta and Vaishnava traditions may keep it on different days; the dates page explains how the day is picked.

  • Your city, not Delhi's

    Most printed panchangs are made for one city. Sunrise in Kolkata is about an hour before Ahmedabad's, which can move a tithi's day for people in the east or west.

  • Adhik masa

    A lunar month in which the Sun changes no sign is intercalary — adhik — and takes the next month's name with 'adhik' in front. The page marks it when it occurs, about once in 32 months.

Computed, not looked up — in your browser

Positions come from published astronomy (Meeus and the JPL orbital elements), the ayanamsa is Lahiri, the houses whole-sign, and the same code runs in the Jyotish app. Your birth details and location are used by your own browser and never sent, and no language model reads or writes your chart. Switch the page to another language and only its fixed text goes to our translation service; your result stays in English, in your browser.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Anything we've missed?

Tell us

What is a tithi?

A tithi is a lunar day: the time the Moon takes to move 12° further from the Sun. There are thirty in a lunar month, fifteen in the waxing (Shukla) half from new moon to full and fifteen in the waning (Krishna) half. A tithi lasts anywhere from about 19 to 26 hours, so it does not line up with the clock — which is why its end time matters.

Which times today are auspicious and inauspicious (Rahu kaal, Abhijit muhurta)?

The day from sunrise to sunset is cut into eight equal parts, and each weekday gives one part to Rahu, one to Yama (Yamaganda) and one to Gulika; the texts avoid beginnings in them, so they are the inauspicious times of the day. Abhijit muhurta is the 48 minutes around local midday, the auspicious window favoured for beginnings. All four are computed from your own sunrise and sunset and shown under the panchang.

What are the upay (remedies) shown, and do they cost anything?

Under every result, 'What to do' checks the grahas that matter most in it — exalted or debilitated, own sign, combust, the house it sits in — and gives the classical practice only for a graha that is weak or afflicted: a mantra, its weekday, a fast or a charity, with the Lal Kitab everyday version, word for word from the Jyotish app's graha guide. A strong graha is named as strong and left alone, because the tradition gives no remedy for it. All practices are free and done at home. Nothing is sold, no gemstone or puja is recommended, and none of it is medical, financial or legal advice.

How is the nakshatra worked out?

The sky is divided into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′ each, starting from the start of Mesha in the sidereal zodiac. The day's nakshatra is the one the Moon is in, using the Lahiri ayanamsa. The Moon covers one nakshatra in about a day, so the end time is shown.

Why does this panchang differ from my printed one by a day?

Usually the sunrise rule. A tithi named for a day is the one running at sunrise at your place, and a tithi that begins just after sunrise is named for the next day. Check the end time shown under each element. Printed panchangs are also computed for one city; this one is computed for yours.

Purnimanta or amanta — which month should I use?

North India (Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Punjab, Himachal, Madhya Pradesh) ends the month at the full moon: purnimanta. Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra, Telangana and Tamil Nadu end it at the new moon: amanta. The two agree in Shukla paksha and differ by one month name in Krishna paksha; the festival dates are the same either way.

Is the panchang sent anywhere?

Your location, if you allow it, is used by your own browser to compute sunrise and the day's elements, and it is never sent. Choose a city instead if you prefer not to share it. If you switch the page to another language, only the page's fixed text is translated; the panchang for your place stays in English.
