Samvatsara and month
Bahudhanya (No. 12, “many-grained, rich in grain”) — A year of abundance: rich harvests, plenty of food and well-being. more
Northern samvatsara: Virodhi. Shaka Samvat 1800, Vikram Samvat 1935, Kali Yuga 4979.
Vaishakha (Madhava) — The best month for early-morning holy baths, dana and the worship of Vishnu: Akshaya Tritiya, Narasimha Jayanti, Buddha Purnima. more
Jyeshtha (Shukra) — The hottest month, a time to honour water and the Ganga: Ganga Dussehra, Nirjala Ekadashi, Vat Purnima. more
Amanta — reckoning lunar months from new moon to new moon (South and West India; this calendar shows months this way). Purnimanta — reckoning from full moon to full moon (North India): the bright half of the month (Shukla Paksha) bears the same name in both systems, while the dark half (Krishna Paksha) in purnimanta already belongs to the next month. So, for example, Krishna Janmashtami is “Shravana, Krishna 8” in amanta and “Bhadrapada, Krishna 8” in purnimanta: it is one and the same day.
Times are standard time UTC+3 (from the site settings, without daylight saving time) · panchanga at sunrise (upper limb of the Sun’s disc, with refraction) · ayanamsa Lahiri · place 55°45′ N 37°35′ E · festival dates are calculated for this location by the rules of kala vyapti · times of Sankranti are accurate to within a few minutes

Haircut factors: weekday Saturday; nakshatra Rohini until 14:09, Mrigashirsha from 14:09; tithi Amavasya until 04:47, Shukla-pratipat from 04:47; lagna Vrishabha 03:53, Mithuna 04:41, Karka 07:04, Simha 10:02, Kanya 13:03, Tula 16:03, Vrischika 19:05
Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Rohini (until 14:09) — destruction of all misfortunes; Mrigashirsha (from 14:09) — abundance (well-being, prosperity); Saturday — decline of physical strength.
Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:
- Amavasya 03:53–04:47: a Parva tithi — haircuts and shaving are postponed (according to the Muhurta Chintamani).
Cautions:
- The Muhurta Chintamani warns: whoever shaves in Rohini nakshatra 8 times a year puts their life in danger — frequent haircuts in this nakshatra are best avoided.
- Krishna Paksha: according to the Kalaprakashika, a haircut during the waning Moon affects life (longevity) and fortune, but the first five tithis of Krishna Paksha are favourable; hair grows thicker if cut during the waxing Moon (M. V. Ramakrishnan, as quoted by B. V. Raman).

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Anuradha — loss of money. In general Anuradha is favourable, but not for the very first shaving, cutting or trimming of hair (“vapanam”); Thursday — success.
Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:
- Shukla-chaturdashi 06:13–21:14: a Rikta and Parva tithi — haircuts and shaving are postponed (according to the Muhurta Chintamani and the Kalaprakashika).
- Sankranti at 11:57 — a Parva day: no haircuts or shaving on this day (according to the Muhurta Chintamani).
Cautions:
- The Muhurta Chintamani warns: whoever shaves in Anuradha nakshatra 3 times a year puts their life in danger — frequent haircuts in this nakshatra are best avoided.

The same as Vat Savitri, in the tradition of Maharashtra, Gujarat and the South: women fast for the long life of their husbands and circumambulate a banyan tree with thread. It is observed by the “chaturdashi viddha” rule — often on the day before the one with Purnima at sunrise.
Rule: pradosha vyapini: 3 muhurtas after sunset, 21:14–22:32
the tithi covers the decisive time on this day only
Jyeshtha Purnima (Snana Purnima) · Chandra (the Moon)
The full moon of Jyeshtha: Snana Purnima (the ceremonial bathing of Jagannath in Puri) and Kabir Jayanti; women observe Vat Purnima.
Rule: udaya vyapini: tithi at sunrise, tithi 04:19–02:51 (15.06)

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Mula — ruin of the family; Saturday — decline of physical strength.
Cautions:
- Krishna Paksha: according to the Kalaprakashika, a haircut during the waning Moon affects life (longevity) and fortune, but the first five tithis of Krishna Paksha are favourable; hair grows thicker if cut during the waxing Moon (M. V. Ramakrishnan, as quoted by B. V. Raman).

Haircut factors: weekday Friday; nakshatra Shatabhisha until 07:48, Purva-Bhadra from 07:48; tithi Krishna-shashti until 06:38, Krishna-saptami from 06:38; lagna Mithuna 03:44, Karka 05:46, Simha 08:43, Kanya 11:44, Tula 14:45, Vrischika 17:46, Dhanu 20:32
Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Shatabhisha (until 07:48) — gaining strength; Purva-Bhadra (from 07:48) — facing death (dangers); Friday — universal respect.
Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:
- Bhadra on earth 06:38–19:48: no shaving or haircuts during Vishti Karana (according to the Muhurta Chintamani, Bhadra does harm when it is on earth; in heaven and in the netherworld its influence on earth is weak).
Cautions:
- Krishna Paksha: according to the Kalaprakashika, a haircut during the waning Moon affects life (longevity) and fortune, but the first five tithis of Krishna Paksha are favourable; hair grows thicker if cut during the waxing Moon (M. V. Ramakrishnan, as quoted by B. V. Raman).
- Friday: B. V. Raman advises against cutting nails (the rating above is the site’s summary, which uses the same weekdays for nails as for haircuts, so Friday counts as auspicious).

Festivals and periods
Kalashtami · Kalabhairava
The eighth day of the waning Moon is dedicated to Kalabhairava, the fierce form of Shiva. The day is chosen so that Ashtami prevails at the beginning of the night (Pradosha). Devotees fast, worship Bhairava in the evening and at night, and feed dogs — the dog is his mount.
Rule: pradosha vyapini: 3 muhurtas after sunset, 21:18–22:35

Tripushkar Yoga: A coincidence of the weekday (Sun, Tue or Sat), a Bhadra tithi (2, 7 or 12) and a “tripada” nakshatra (Krittika, Punarvasu, Uttara Phalguni, Vishakha, Uttara Ashadha, Purva Bhadrapada). The result of whatever is begun repeats three times: good for purchases and investments, bad for losses, loans, surgery and funerals.

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Ashwini (until 18:54) — joy; Bharani (from 18:54) — facing death (dangers); Tuesday — harm to longevity.
Cautions:
- Krishna Paksha: according to the Kalaprakashika, a haircut during the waning Moon affects life (longevity) and fortune, but the first five tithis of Krishna Paksha are favourable; hair grows thicker if cut during the waxing Moon (M. V. Ramakrishnan, as quoted by B. V. Raman).

Practice day: A special day for fasting, puja and spiritual practice (Ekadashi, Purnima, Amavasya, Shivaratri, Sankranti, a festival). The cell colour does not change.
Patron: Madhusudana; Aditya — Aryaman. Full moon in nakshatra Vishakha. Ritu: Vasanta.
Amanta — reckoning lunar months from new moon to new moon (South and West India; this calendar shows months this way). Purnimanta — reckoning from full moon to full moon (North India): the bright half of the month (Shukla Paksha) bears the same name in both systems, while the dark half (Krishna Paksha) in purnimanta already belongs to the next month. So, for example, Krishna Janmashtami is “Shravana, Krishna 8” in amanta and “Bhadrapada, Krishna 8” in purnimanta: it is one and the same day.
Northern samvatsara: Virodhi (No. 23)
Shaka Samvat 1800 · Vikram Samvat 1935 · Kali Yuga 4979
Next year — Pramathi, from the new moon before Ugadi (the start of Chaitra) 23.03.1879
In South India (Shaka Samvat, lunar reckoning) the years of the 60-year cycle follow one another without a break, and the name of the year changes at Ugadi — at the start of Chaitra, on the first tithi of the bright half.
Group: Purna. Deity: Pitris (ancestors).
The Pitris (ancestors) rule the new moon; this period is suitable for rites honoring the ancestors (shraddha, tarpana), for pacifying the mind and performing austerities.
Meaning: Red (an epithet of the star Aldebaran)
Symbol: Wagon, rarely: temple, banyan, incense, sandalwood
Deity: Prajapati (Brahma - Creator)
Type: fixed (dhruva, sthira) — For what is firm and lasting: laying house foundations, housewarming, planting, weddings, taking office, long-term projects.
Vimshottari lord: Moon
Shakti: give growth (prosperity, fertility)
Auspicious: lasting and long-term matters, laying foundations and building, vows.
A nitya yoga is one of the 27 segments of the sum of the sidereal longitudes of the Sun and the Moon (each spanning 13 degrees 20 minutes of arc). Nine yogas are inauspicious: Vishkambha, Atiganda, Shula, Ganda, Vyaghata, Vajra, Parigha and especially Vyatipata and Vaidhriti; the rest are auspicious.
Deity: nagas (serpents)
Inauspicious. Suitable only for harsh and forceful deeds, work with things that must stay fixed, and rites connected with serpents.
A karana is half a tithi; there are 60 of them in a lunar month.
Lord: Saturn
This is the only day of the week when, according to astrological indications, you can safely postpone most important household and spiritual affairs, which is reflected in a variety of cultures around the world. However, on this day you can carry out monotonous monotonous work, or relax.
Start of morning civil twilight: the Sun is 6° below the horizon and the sky grows light.
Appearance of the upper limb of the solar disc, with refraction. The Vedic day and the vara begin at sunrise.
True noon — the culmination of the Sun, midway between sunrise and sunset.
The upper limb of the solar disc disappears below the horizon (with refraction).
End of evening civil twilight: the Sun is 6° below the horizon.
Appearance of the upper limb of the lunar disc above the horizon. The decisive time for Sankashti Chaturthi and Karwa Chauth.
The upper limb of the lunar disc disappears below the horizon.
Garden tasks are rated as in the site’s “Lunar calendar for gardeners” section: the weekday, nakshatra and tithi are taken into account; starting from a base score of 3, each factor adds one point if favourable or subtracts one if unfavourable; total score 0–6: 0–2 — bad, 3–4 — average, 5–6 — good. The table shows the rating at sunrise and after each change of nakshatra or tithi during the daytime (“from HH:MM”); the icons next to the sunrise rating show the contribution of the weekday, nakshatra and tithi at sunrise: “+” (green) adds one point, “0” (yellow) has no effect, “–” (red) subtracts one.
The ratings are the site author’s summary of the Indian and Tibetan traditions. Classical texts on agriculture: the Kalaprakashika (ch. XIX–XX, English translation by N. P. Subramania Iyer, 1917), B. V. Raman’s Muhurtha (ch. XIII), the Brihat Samhita of Varahamihira (ch. 55).
what to do (Tibetan tradition): working in the field, planting flowers and trees, sowing, making a pond and a well; do not plow
plants of the day: slow-growing, long-lived, dense, heavy, sturdy plants
nakshatra Rohini
Planting and sowing are allowed.
Amavasya
do not start anything, only finish up safe tasks that require no exertion
digging, plowing, planting trees
No pruning; planting flowers, soaking and the like are allowed.
according to the Indian tradition: No pruning; planting flowers, soaking seeds and the like are allowed.
A combination of weekday and nakshatra that yields the “nectar of success”: Sun — Hasta, Mon — Mrigashirsha, Tue — Ashwini, Wed — Anuradha, Thu — Pushya, Fri — Revati, Sat — Rohini. One of the strongest auspicious yogas: it brings success to almost any undertaking.
One of the 28 yogas formed jointly by the weekday and the Moon’s nakshatra (counting Abhijit): from the starting nakshatra of the day (Sun — Ashwini, Mon — Mrigashirsha, Tue — Ashlesha, Wed — Hasta, Thu — Anuradha, Fri — Uttara Ashadha, Sat — Shatabhisha) the cycle runs Ananda, Kaladanda, Dhumra and so on. Auspicious yogas support the day’s affairs; inauspicious ones (especially Utpata, Mrityu and Kana) weaken them.
The yoga of “accomplishing all aims”: an auspicious combination of weekday and nakshatra (each day has its own 3–7 nakshatras). Good for any new undertaking; exceptions: Thu + Pushya is not used for weddings, Tue + Ashwini for housewarmings, Sat + Rohini for travel.
One of the 28 yogas formed jointly by the weekday and the Moon’s nakshatra (counting Abhijit): from the starting nakshatra of the day (Sun — Ashwini, Mon — Mrigashirsha, Tue — Ashlesha, Wed — Hasta, Thu — Anuradha, Fri — Uttara Ashadha, Sat — Shatabhisha) the cycle runs Ananda, Kaladanda, Dhumra and so on. Auspicious yogas support the day’s affairs; inauspicious ones (especially Utpata, Mrityu and Kana) weaken them.
The knotted junction of “water” and “fire”: the last pada of Ashlesha, Jyeshtha and Revati and the first pada of Magha, Mula and Ashwini (as well as the tithi junctions of the 5th and 6th, the 10th and 11th, the 15th and 1st). Unfavourable for new undertakings.
The penultimate, 14th muhurta of the night: it begins about an hour and a half before sunrise and lasts about 48 minutes. The best time for meditation, prayer, japa and study.
The 8th of the 15 daytime muhurtas, around true noon (about 48 minutes). The “invincible” time, suitable for almost any new undertaking — except on Wednesdays.
The 11th daytime muhurta, the “time of victory”: good for journeys, contests and decisive action; the main time of Vijayadashami.
“Dust from the hooves” — about 24 minutes right after sunset, when the cows return from pasture. An auspicious time for weddings and evening rites.
The first fifth of the night after sunset (three night muhurtas, about 2.5 hours). The time for worshipping Shiva, lighting the Diwali diyas and performing Holika Dahan.
Midnight — the 8th muhurta of the night. The decisive time for Maha Shivaratri, Krishna Janmashtami and Kali Puja.
“Time of nectar” — about an hour and a half within each nakshatra, favourable for any new undertaking and mitigating inauspicious factors.
One-eighth of the daytime ruled by Rahu (a different segment for each weekday). No new work, journeys or deals are started; whatever was begun earlier may be continued.
How it is calculated: following the South Indian tradition (Tamil Nadu, Kerala), as Drik Panchang does — the daytime from sunrise to sunset (upper limb of the disc, with refraction) is divided into 8 parts, and Rahu Kalam is part 3 (Mon 2, Sat 3, Fri 4, Wed 5, Thu 6, Tue 7, Sun 8).
Another tradition — Kala Vela: the eighth parts of the daytime belong to the planets in weekday order starting from the lord of the day, while the eighth part, the last before sunset, is “empty”, without a lord; in this tradition it is given to Rahu — today {y} (on Sundays it coincides with the calculation above).
Yet another tradition — printed panchangas: a nominal day of 6:00–18:00, so Rahu Kalam always falls at the same clock time — today 09:00–10:30; if the nominal 6:00–18:00 day is counted in local mean time — 09:29–10:59 by the clock. Far from India this is a rough approximation.
Using the rising and setting of the centre of the disc without refraction (old Siddhantic panchangas): {x}.
At night Rahu Kalam is usually not reckoned (the translator of the Kalaprakashika, 1917: “it occurs only in the daytime”); a few divide the night into 8 parts as well, but there is no generally accepted order of the night parts. In North India, Choghadiya is more often consulted to choose the hour.
One-eighth of the daytime associated with Yama: unfavourable for new undertakings and journeys.
How it is calculated: the eighths of the daytime belong to the planets in weekday order, starting from the lord of the day; Yamaganda (Yamaghantaka) is Jupiter’s portion, today part 6. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 13:30–15:00.
One-eighth of the daytime ruled by Gulika (the son of Saturn). Whatever is begun at this time tends to repeat, so funerals are not held and loans are not taken during Gulika; important new undertakings are usually avoided.
How it is calculated: Saturn’s portion among the eighths of the daytime (planets in weekday order, starting from the lord of the day), today part 1. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 06:00–07:30. According to a note by the translator of the Kalaprakashika, Gulika is not considered inauspicious: it is even good for reaping, gathering grain, trade, medical treatment, repaying debts and a number of other activities; the view that whatever is begun during Gulika will repeat itself is a popular (mainly Tamil) belief.
An inauspicious muhurta (about 48 minutes) — one or two per day, specific to each weekday. It is avoided for new undertakings, journeys and deals.
“Rejected” time — about an hour and a half within each nakshatra (4 ghatis of 60, starting from a ghati specific to that nakshatra). Unfavourable for new undertakings.
B. V. Raman: nails are not cut on Friday or Saturday, on Ashtami, Navami or Chaturdashi, or on new moon and full moon days.
B. V. Raman: nails are not cut on Friday or Saturday, on Ashtami, Navami or Chaturdashi, or on new moon and full moon days.

Mesha (Aries) — “great calamities”; Simha (Leo) — “disease and suffering”; Vrischika (Scorpio) — “disease and suffering”; Dhanu (Sagittarius) — “fear of the authorities”; Kumbha (Aquarius) — “ruin of the family”.
Classical rules: have a haircut or shave in the daytime, preferably before noon — not at night or at twilight; not after eating, bathing or anointing the body with oil; not on the day of setting out on a journey; not when one’s wife is pregnant; not on one’s birth nakshatra or the 10th and 19th nakshatras from it, and not during Chandrashtama (the Moon in the 8th sign from the natal Moon). These prohibitions are lifted for a wedding, an initiation, release from prison, mourning for one’s parents and at the ruler’s command.
Sources: the Kalaprakashika of Narasimha (ch. V on haircuts — written about a child’s first haircut, chaula; English translation by N. P. Subramania Iyer, 1917), the Muhurta Chintamani of Rama Daivajna, B. V. Raman’s Muhurtha. The rating is the site’s summary, as in the “Lunar haircut calendar”: starting from a base score of 4, each factor — weekday, nakshatra, tithi and lagna — adds one point if favourable or subtracts one if unfavourable; total score 0–8: 7–8 good, 4–6 average, 0–3 bad. Windows are the parts of the daytime with the best rating (at least 15 minutes long); for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting, the times of the day’s prohibitions are excluded.
The Moon in a fixed, soft, light or movable nakshatra — favourable for activities of its type.
Tuesday or Saturday — the days of the harsh (krura) planets Mars and Saturn.
New moon: a day of the ancestors (shraddha, tarpana) and of spiritual practice, unfavourable for worldly undertakings.
Patron: Trivikrama; Aditya — Mitra. Full moon in nakshatra Jyeshtha. Ritu: Grishma.
Group: Nanda. Deity: Brahma.
The ruler of the first lunar day is Brahma. This time is suitable for all types of ceremonies.
Meaning: Deer head (alt. searching star)
Symbol: Deer head
Deity: Soma (Chandra, Moon)
Type: soft (mridu, maitra) — For arts and music, friendship and love, new clothes and jewellery, weddings and festivals.
Vimshottari lord: Mars
Shakti: give realization (attractiveness, shaping)
Inauspicious: disputes and pain; the first 5 ghatis (about 2 h) are skipped.
A nitya yoga is one of the 27 segments of the sum of the sidereal longitudes of the Sun and the Moon (each spanning 13 degrees 20 minutes of arc). Nine yogas are inauspicious: Vishkambha, Atiganda, Shula, Ganda, Vyaghata, Vajra, Parigha and especially Vyatipata and Vaidhriti; the rest are auspicious.
Deity: Indra
Auspicious: good for any benevolent and lasting work, building up health and strength, undertakings meant to grow.
A karana is half a tithi; there are 60 of them in a lunar month.
Lord: Sun
This day is suitable for generosity, celebrations, holidays, performances and festivals. Meetings with high-ranking people and important government affairs are good to carry out on this day.
what to do (Tibetan tradition): planting trees, sowing grain crops
plants of the day: laurel, spices, for example hot peppers
nakshatra Mrigashirsha
No pruning; planting flowers, soaking and the like are allowed.
according to the Indian tradition: No pruning; planting flowers, soaking seeds and the like are allowed.
Shukla-pratipat

planting and sowing are allowed (long-term result)
For pruning and uprooting; plowing and watering are allowed, but nothing else.
One of the 28 yogas formed jointly by the weekday and the Moon’s nakshatra (counting Abhijit): from the starting nakshatra of the day (Sun — Ashwini, Mon — Mrigashirsha, Tue — Ashlesha, Wed — Hasta, Thu — Anuradha, Fri — Uttara Ashadha, Sat — Shatabhisha) the cycle runs Ananda, Kaladanda, Dhumra and so on. Auspicious yogas support the day’s affairs; inauspicious ones (especially Utpata, Mrityu and Kana) weaken them.
The same combination of weekday (Sun, Tue or Sat) and Bhadra tithi (2, 7 or 12), but with the nakshatra Mrigashirsha, Chitra or Dhanishtha. The result repeats twice: good for acquisitions, bad for losses, loans and funerals.
“Deadly” combination of weekday and tithi group: Sun and Tue — Nanda (1, 6, 11), Mon and Fri — Bhadra (2, 7, 12), Wed — Jaya (3, 8, 13), Thu — Rikta (4, 9, 14), Sat — Purna (5, 10, 15). Portends failure for new undertakings.
One of the 28 yogas formed jointly by the weekday and the Moon’s nakshatra (counting Abhijit): from the starting nakshatra of the day (Sun — Ashwini, Mon — Mrigashirsha, Tue — Ashlesha, Wed — Hasta, Thu — Anuradha, Fri — Uttara Ashadha, Sat — Shatabhisha) the cycle runs Ananda, Kaladanda, Dhumra and so on. Auspicious yogas support the day’s affairs; inauspicious ones (especially Utpata, Mrityu and Kana) weaken them.
One-eighth of the daytime ruled by Rahu (a different segment for each weekday). No new work, journeys or deals are started; whatever was begun earlier may be continued.
How it is calculated: following the South Indian tradition (Tamil Nadu, Kerala), as Drik Panchang does — the daytime from sunrise to sunset (upper limb of the disc, with refraction) is divided into 8 parts, and Rahu Kalam is part 8 (Mon 2, Sat 3, Fri 4, Wed 5, Thu 6, Tue 7, Sun 8).
Another tradition — Kala Vela: the eighth parts of the daytime belong to the planets in weekday order starting from the lord of the day, while the eighth part, the last before sunset, is “empty”, without a lord; in this tradition it is given to Rahu — today {y} (on Sundays it coincides with the calculation above).
Yet another tradition — printed panchangas: a nominal day of 6:00–18:00, so Rahu Kalam always falls at the same clock time — today 16:30–18:00; if the nominal 6:00–18:00 day is counted in local mean time — 16:59–18:29 by the clock. Far from India this is a rough approximation.
Using the rising and setting of the centre of the disc without refraction (old Siddhantic panchangas): {x}.
At night Rahu Kalam is usually not reckoned (the translator of the Kalaprakashika, 1917: “it occurs only in the daytime”); a few divide the night into 8 parts as well, but there is no generally accepted order of the night parts. In North India, Choghadiya is more often consulted to choose the hour.
One-eighth of the daytime associated with Yama: unfavourable for new undertakings and journeys.
How it is calculated: the eighths of the daytime belong to the planets in weekday order, starting from the lord of the day; Yamaganda (Yamaghantaka) is Jupiter’s portion, today part 5. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 12:00–13:30.
One-eighth of the daytime ruled by Gulika (the son of Saturn). Whatever is begun at this time tends to repeat, so funerals are not held and loans are not taken during Gulika; important new undertakings are usually avoided.
How it is calculated: Saturn’s portion among the eighths of the daytime (planets in weekday order, starting from the lord of the day), today part 7. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 15:00–16:30. According to a note by the translator of the Kalaprakashika, Gulika is not considered inauspicious: it is even good for reaping, gathering grain, trade, medical treatment, repaying debts and a number of other activities; the view that whatever is begun during Gulika will repeat itself is a popular (mainly Tamil) belief.

The Moon’s nakshatra is the 4th, 6th, 9th, 10th, 13th or 20th from the Sun’s nakshatra. As the Sun dispels darkness, so this yoga cancels many bad combinations of the day and supports new undertakings.

One of the 28 yogas formed jointly by the weekday and the Moon’s nakshatra (counting Abhijit): from the starting nakshatra of the day (Sun — Ashwini, Mon — Mrigashirsha, Tue — Ashlesha, Wed — Hasta, Thu — Anuradha, Fri — Uttara Ashadha, Sat — Shatabhisha) the cycle runs Ananda, Kaladanda, Dhumra and so on. Auspicious yogas support the day’s affairs; inauspicious ones (especially Utpata, Mrityu and Kana) weaken them.

One of the 28 yogas formed jointly by the weekday and the Moon’s nakshatra (counting Abhijit): from the starting nakshatra of the day (Sun — Ashwini, Mon — Mrigashirsha, Tue — Ashlesha, Wed — Hasta, Thu — Anuradha, Fri — Uttara Ashadha, Sat — Shatabhisha) the cycle runs Ananda, Kaladanda, Dhumra and so on. Auspicious yogas support the day’s affairs; inauspicious ones (especially Utpata, Mrityu and Kana) weaken them.
“Saw”: the tithi number and the weekday number (Sun = 1 … Sat = 7) add up to 13 — Sun and the 12th tithi, Mon and the 11th, Tue and the 10th, Wed and the 9th, Thu and the 8th, Fri and the 7th, Sat and the 6th. One of the worst yogas: auspicious activities are postponed.
One-eighth of the daytime ruled by Rahu (a different segment for each weekday). No new work, journeys or deals are started; whatever was begun earlier may be continued.
How it is calculated: following the South Indian tradition (Tamil Nadu, Kerala), as Drik Panchang does — the daytime from sunrise to sunset (upper limb of the disc, with refraction) is divided into 8 parts, and Rahu Kalam is part 4 (Mon 2, Sat 3, Fri 4, Wed 5, Thu 6, Tue 7, Sun 8).
Another tradition — Kala Vela: the eighth parts of the daytime belong to the planets in weekday order starting from the lord of the day, while the eighth part, the last before sunset, is “empty”, without a lord; in this tradition it is given to Rahu — today {y} (on Sundays it coincides with the calculation above).
Yet another tradition — printed panchangas: a nominal day of 6:00–18:00, so Rahu Kalam always falls at the same clock time — today 10:30–12:00; if the nominal 6:00–18:00 day is counted in local mean time — 10:59–12:29 by the clock. Far from India this is a rough approximation.
Using the rising and setting of the centre of the disc without refraction (old Siddhantic panchangas): {x}.
At night Rahu Kalam is usually not reckoned (the translator of the Kalaprakashika, 1917: “it occurs only in the daytime”); a few divide the night into 8 parts as well, but there is no generally accepted order of the night parts. In North India, Choghadiya is more often consulted to choose the hour.
One-eighth of the daytime associated with Yama: unfavourable for new undertakings and journeys.
How it is calculated: the eighths of the daytime belong to the planets in weekday order, starting from the lord of the day; Yamaganda (Yamaghantaka) is Jupiter’s portion, today part 7. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 15:00–16:30.
One-eighth of the daytime ruled by Gulika (the son of Saturn). Whatever is begun at this time tends to repeat, so funerals are not held and loans are not taken during Gulika; important new undertakings are usually avoided.
How it is calculated: Saturn’s portion among the eighths of the daytime (planets in weekday order, starting from the lord of the day), today part 2. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 07:30–09:00. According to a note by the translator of the Kalaprakashika, Gulika is not considered inauspicious: it is even good for reaping, gathering grain, trade, medical treatment, repaying debts and a number of other activities; the view that whatever is begun during Gulika will repeat itself is a popular (mainly Tamil) belief.
