Every timing here is measured from this city’s sunrise, so pick the city you are actually in.
Panchang at a glance
- VaraThe weekday, and the first limb of the panchang. Each day answers to one graha, which is why Tuesday is read differently from Friday.
- ShukravaraFriday, Venus's day. Read for marriage, comfort and beauty, and it is one of the four weekdays a wedding is set on.Favourable
- TithiThe lunar day. It runs from one step of the Moon's phase to the next, so it rarely begins at sunrise. Fasts and festivals are fixed by it.
- Shukla DwadashiThe twelfth tithi, and the day an Ekadashi fast is broken. Getting the hour of that paran right is one reason tithi timings are printed at all.Favourableuntil , then Shukla Trayodashi
- Paksha
- Shuklawaxing
- NakshatraThe star the Moon is passing through. There are twenty-seven, and yours decides your naming letter and much of a matching score.
- Purva BhadrapadaThe twenty-fifth nakshatra, ruled by Guru with the one-footed Aja Ekapada presiding. The fiery idealist: intense, unconventional, and burning for a cause.Avoideduntil , then Uttara Bhadrapada
- YogaSun and Moon taken together, in twenty-seven named combinations. A few are avoided for starting new work and the rest pass unremarked.
- DhruvaThe twelfth yoga, the fixed one. Foundations, planting and anything meant to stay exactly where it is are placed in it.Neutraluntil , then Vyaghata
- KaranaHalf of a tithi. Sixty karanas cover the lunar month, and the one running at sunrise flavours the day's work.
- BalavaThe second repeating karana. Counted good for study, for puja, and for work of a priestly or scholarly kind.Favourableuntil , then Kaulava

Full timings of tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana
Tithi
Shukla DwadashiThe twelfth tithi, and the day an Ekadashi fast is broken. Getting the hour of that paran right is one reason tithi timings are printed at all.Favourable
to
A Bhadra (gracious) tithi, well spoken of for new work.
Shukla TrayodashiThe thirteenth tithi, kept for Shiva as the Pradosh vrat. Dhanteras is the Trayodashi of Kartika, and buying metal on it is the custom.Favourable
to
A Jaya (victorious) tithi, favoured for anything meant to succeed.
The lunar day. Fasts, festivals and most vrats are fixed by this.
Nakshatra
Purva BhadrapadaThe twenty-fifth nakshatra, ruled by Guru with the one-footed Aja Ekapada presiding. The fiery idealist: intense, unconventional, and burning for a cause.Avoided
to
An Ugra (fierce) star, set aside for auspicious beginnings.
Uttara BhadrapadaThe twenty-sixth nakshatra, ruled by Shani with the serpent of the deep presiding. Calm depth: patient, wise and steadying, with compassion held under the surface.Favourable
to
A Dhruva (fixed) star, chosen for things meant to last: a house, a foundation, a sowing.
The star the Moon is passing through. Used for naming and matching.
Yoga
DhruvaThe twelfth yoga, the fixed one. Foundations, planting and anything meant to stay exactly where it is are placed in it.Neutral
to
Not one of the two yogas tradition sets aside, so no objection on this count.
VyaghataThe thirteenth yoga, and a rough one. It reads like a blow landing, so journeys and new work are moved out of it.Neutral
to
Not one of the two yogas tradition sets aside, so no objection on this count.
Sun and Moon taken together. Some are avoided for new work.
Karana
BalavaThe second repeating karana. Counted good for study, for puja, and for work of a priestly or scholarly kind.Favourable
to
One of the seven movable karanas, with no general objection to it.
KaulavaThe third repeating karana, the friendly one. Good for marriage talks, for agreements, and for anything that joins two sides.Favourable
to
One of the seven movable karanas, with no general objection to it.
TaitilaThe fourth repeating karana. Traditionally taken for trade, and for approaching people who hold authority over you.Favourable
to
One of the seven movable karanas, with no general objection to it.
Half a tithi. Two of them run in every lunar day.
The word beside each limb is what tradition makes of it for STARTING something, and the line under it names the classical rule it comes from. Nothing here is a warning about the day itself: an avoided tithi is a custom to respect, not an emergency, and most months carry several. For a date matched to a particular event, these five are only the first thing an astrologer would look at.

How this page is worked out
- Sunrise and sunset are computed for Ahmedabad with the disc-centre-with-refraction convention Indian panchangs use.
- Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana are sidereal, with the Lahiri ayanamsa.
- Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika and the choghadiya are eighths of the real sunrise-to-sunset interval here, not of a nominal twelve-hour day.
- Disha Shool is the classical weekday table, so it is the same in every city.
- All times are Indian Standard Time.
