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.

Tithi

Shukla Dwadashi

The lunar day. It sets the emotional weather and what kind of work the day welcomes.

Ends at 06:21 am

Nakshatra

Purva Ashadha

The Moon’s lodge. It colours the mood, the people you meet, and the kind of effort that flows.

Ends at 08:28 pm

Yoga

Priti

The Sun and Moon together. It tells you whether the day’s energy is smooth or rough.

Ends at 07:04 am

Karana

Bava

Half a tithi. It nudges practical matters: signing, fixing, beginning small things.

When to begin

Brahma Muhurat

03:53 am to 04:41 am

The quiet ninety-six minutes before sunrise. Use it for prayer, study, and any work that needs a still mind.

Abhijit Muhurat

11:23 am to 12:14 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

07:04 am to 08:39 am

Hold off on starting anything important. Routine work is fine.

Yamaganda

10:14 am to 11:49 am

Heavy energy. Not the time to launch, sign, or commit.

Gulika Kalam

01:23 pm to 02:58 pm

Saturn’s son. Whatever begins here tends to drag, so wait it out.

Local tradition

Panchang traditions in Bhubaneswar

Notable temples

Lingaraj Temple is the city's principal Shiva shrine and one of the oldest continuously-functioning temples in eastern India. The Ananta Vasudeva Temple, Mukteshwar, and Rajarani are the other major shrines from the Kalinga school of temple architecture.

Regional festivals

Ratha Yatra at Puri on Ashadha Shukla Dwitiya draws pilgrims through Bhubaneswar. The Ashokashtami chariot procession at Lingaraj Temple is the city's own equivalent ritual.

Daily observance

Odia households follow the Odia panchang with months named in Odia (Baisakha, Jyestha) and Krishna paksha following the purnimanta convention of north India rather than the amanta convention of the south.
