Today’s Panchang

Patna's Brahma muhurat opens at 03:51 am today, with sunrise at 05:27 am. Rahu Kaal runs from 07:03 am to 08:39 am, so hold off on important new starts in that window. Today is Shukla Dwadashi, with the Moon in Purva Ashadha.

Monday, 24 August 2026. The day’s five limbs computed for Patna from real ephemeris, with sunrise, the auspicious windows, and the windows to wait out.

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

03:51 am to 04:39 am

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

Abhijit Muhurat

11:26 am to 12:17 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

07:03 am to 08:39 am

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

Yamaganda

10:15 am to 11:51 am

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

Gulika Kalam

01:27 pm to 03:03 pm

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

Local tradition

Panchang traditions in Patna

Notable temples

Mahavir Mandir near Patna Junction, dedicated to Hanuman, sees the highest footfall in the city and runs panchang-keyed arati every Tuesday and Saturday. Patan Devi at Patna City is one of the 51 Shakti Peethas.

Regional festivals

Chhath Puja over four days from Kartik Shukla Chaturthi to Saptami is Bihar's defining festival, with the Patna ghats on the Ganga drawing the largest gatherings.

Daily observance

Bihar follows the Mithila and Magadh panchang traditions; Chhath sandhya arghya and ushah arghya timings are calculated from local sunset and sunrise rather than printed clock times.
