Dwipushkar Yoga: 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.

The result of whatever is begun repeats three times: good for purchases and investments, bad for losses, loans, surgery and funerals.

Samvatsara and month
Prajapati (No. 5, “lord of creatures, progenitor”) — A year of growth and fertility: offspring, livestock and harvests multiply. more
Northern samvatsara: Subhanu. Shaka Samvat 1913, Vikram Samvat 2048, Kali Yuga 5092.
Nija 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
Nija Masa (“true month”) — the ordinary month of the same name that comes immediately after the Adhika month. The annual festivals and rites of that month are observed precisely in it (the exception is Ganga Dussehra when Jyeshtha is Adhika: it is celebrated in the intercalary month).
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 and shaving
Cutting hair, shaving: no suitable window — see the prohibitions below
Windows are the best daytime hours according to the site’s summary rating, excluding the times of the day’s prohibitions (see below).
| Cutting hair, shaving | no suitable window — see the prohibitions below |
|---|---|
| Cutting fingernails, cutting toenails | no suitable window — see the prohibitions below |
| Bathing, washing hair | average 03:54–10:13, 13:14–21:01 |
Haircut factors: weekday Saturday; nakshatra Purva-Ashadha until 07:12, Uttara-Ashadha from 07:12; tithi Krishna-chaturti; lagna Vrishabha 03:54, Mithuna 04:49, Karka 07:15, Simha 10:13, Kanya 13:14, Tula 16:14, Vrischika 19:15
Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Purva-Ashadha (until 07:12) — ruin of the family; Uttara-Ashadha (from 07:12) — improved health; Saturday — decline of physical strength.
Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:
- Krishna-chaturti 03:54–21:01: a Rikta tithi — haircuts and shaving are not advised (according to the Muhurta Chintamani and the Kalaprakashika).
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).

The Kalaprakashika (ch. XIX–XX) uses a different method, which the site’s summary does not take into account; it may disagree with the table and the tooltips:
- According to the Kalaprakashika, Shatabhisha (15:24–21:05) is good for sowing.
- Vishti Karana (Bhadra) 04:43–17:29: according to the Kalaprakashika, sowing, reaping and harvesting are not begun during it.

| Cutting hair, shaving | no suitable window — see the prohibitions below |

| Cutting fingernails, cutting toenails | no suitable window — see the prohibitions below |
| Bathing, washing hair | average throughout the daytime |
Haircut factors: weekday Tuesday; nakshatra Dhanishtha until 15:24, Shatabhisha from 15:24; tithi Krishna-shashti until 04:43, Krishna-saptami from 04:43; lagna Vrishabha 03:51, Mithuna 04:37, Karka 07:03, Simha 10:01, Kanya 13:02, Tula 16:02, Vrischika 19:04
Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Dhanishtha (until 15:24) — longevity (increased vitality); Shatabhisha (from 15:24) — gaining strength; Tuesday — harm to longevity.
Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:
- Bhadra on earth 04:43–17:29: 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).
- Vaidhriti 03:51–21:05: auspicious undertakings, including haircuts, are avoided during this yoga (according to the Muhurta Chintamani).
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).

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, 21:06–22:27

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Uttara-Bhadra (until 18:11) — a good life; Revati (from 18:11) — increase in property; Friday — universal respect.
Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:

- Bhadra on earth 18:07–21:08: 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).

- According to the Kalaprakashika, Revati (03:47–17:31) is good for sowing, for flowering plants and fruit-bearing creepers.
- Vishti Karana (Bhadra) 03:47–05:31: according to the Kalaprakashika, sowing, reaping and harvesting are not begun during it.

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Revati (until 17:31) — increase in property; Ashwini (from 17:31) — joy; Saturday — decline of physical strength.
Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:
- Bhadra on earth 03:47–05:31: 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).

- 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).

- Shukla-navami 19:07–21:17: a Rikta tithi — haircuts and shaving are not advised (according to the Muhurta Chintamani and the Kalaprakashika).

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Purva-Ashadha (until 13:19) — ruin of the family; Uttara-Ashadha (from 13:19) — improved health; Friday — universal respect.
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).

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.
Nija Masa (“true month”) — the ordinary month of the same name that comes immediately after the Adhika month. The annual festivals and rites of that month are observed precisely in it (the exception is Ganga Dussehra when Jyeshtha is Adhika: it is celebrated in the intercalary month).
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: Subhanu (No. 17)
Shaka Samvat 1913 · Vikram Samvat 2048 · Kali Yuga 5092

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: Rikta. Deity: Yama.
The ruler of the fourth day of the waning Moon is Yama. Important matters should not be started. It is possible to conduct military maneuvers, remove obstacles and destroy something.
Meaning: Prior invincible, unsubdued
Symbol: Elephant tusk, fan or bed
Deity: Varuna
Type: fierce (ugra, krura) — For destructive and dangerous tasks: demolition, work with fire and weapons, disputes; unsuitable for other auspicious undertakings (the exception is weddings: Magha is among the nakshatras for marriage).
Vimshottari lord: Venus
Shakti: add strength, energy (regenerate)
Auspicious: pure and noble deeds, religious rites, study.
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: 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).

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.
An auspicious combination of weekday and tithi group: Fri — Nanda (1, 6, 11), Wed — Bhadra (2, 7, 12), Tue — Jaya (3, 8, 13), Sat — Rikta (4, 9, 14), Thu — Purna (5, 10, 15). Brings success; if the same pair also forms an inauspicious yoga, Siddha prevails.

“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.
A tithi “burnt” by the Sun in its current sign (the Sun in Dhanu or Mina — the 2nd, in Vrishabha or Kumbha — the 4th, in Mesha or Karka — the 6th, in Mithuna or Kanya — the 8th, in Simha or Vrischika — the 10th, in Tula or Makara — the 12th): 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.

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.

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.

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.
