The five limbs
Tithi, vara, nakshatra, yoga, karana
Panchang means “five limbs”. Together they describe the quality of the day for ritual, work, and decision. End times are the exact moments each limb gives way to the next.
Nakshatra
Ashlesha
The Moon’s lodge. It colours the mood, the people you meet, and the kind of effort that flows.
Ends at 02:08 am
Yoga
Vriddhi
The Sun and Moon together. It tells you whether the day’s energy is smooth or rough.
Ends at 08:18 am
Karana
Taitila
Half a tithi. It nudges practical matters: signing, fixing, beginning small things.

Brahma Muhurat

The quiet ninety-six minutes before sunrise. Use it for prayer, study, and any work that needs a still mind.
Abhijit Muhurat
11:19 am to 12:13 pm
The middle twenty-four minutes of the day. A safe slot for any new beginning, even when the rest of the day looks uncertain.
Windows to avoid
When to wait
Rahu Kaal
01:27 pm to 03:07 pm
Hold off on starting anything important. Routine work is fine.
Yamaganda
05:02 am to 06:43 am
Heavy energy. Not the time to launch, sign, or commit.
Gulika Kalam
08:24 am to 10:05 am
Saturn’s son. Whatever begins here tends to drag, so wait it out.
