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: Vikriti. Shaka Samvat 1920, Vikram Samvat 2055, Kali Yuga 5099.
Jyeshtha (Shukra) — The hottest month, a time to honour water and the Ganga: Ganga Dussehra, Nirjala Ekadashi, Vat Purnima. more
Ashadha (Shuchi) — Onset of the rainy season: Ratha Yatra, Devshayani Ekadashi and the start of Chaturmasya, Guru 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

- Vyatipata 03:50–10:37: auspicious undertakings, including haircuts, are avoided during this yoga (according to the Muhurta Chintamani).
Cautions:
- Ekadashi: by custom, those who fast on this day do not cut their hair or shave.
- 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).

|---|---|
| Cutting fingernails, cutting toenails | average 03:47–05:05 |
| Bathing, washing hair | average 03:47–09:45, 12:46–21:10 |

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Vishakha (until 13:02) — loss of money; Anuradha (from 13:02) — loss of money. In general Anuradha is favourable, but not for the very first shaving, cutting or trimming of hair (“vapanam”); Monday — clear, bright complexion.
Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:
- Shukla-chaturdashi 05:05–21:10: a Rikta and Parva tithi — haircuts and shaving are postponed (according to the Muhurta Chintamani and the Kalaprakashika).
Cautions:

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, Anuradha (03:47–14:52) is good for sowing, for flowering plants and fruit-bearing creepers.
- According to the Kalaprakashika, Jyestha (14:52–21:11) is good for flowering plants and fruit-bearing creepers.
- Vishti Karana (Bhadra) 06:25–18:55: according to the Kalaprakashika, sowing, reaping and harvesting are not begun during it.
- Shukla-chaturdashi 03:47–06:25: according to the Kalaprakashika, ploughing on Chaturdashi puts the owner’s life in danger.
Festivals and periods
Vat Purnima Vrat · Savitri and Satyavan
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, 21:11–22:30
the tithi covers the decisive time on this day only
Purnima Vrat · Chandra (the Moon)
The full moon fast (Purnima upavas) is kept on the day when Purnima prevails at midday (Madhyahna): if it begins before noon, the fast falls on the day before the one with Purnima at sunrise. Devotees fast from sunrise until moonrise and pray to Vishnu (Satyanarayana) and Chandra.
Rule: madhyahna vyapini: midday (the 3rd fifth of the daytime), 10:44–14:13
the tithi covers the decisive time on this day only

| Bathing, washing hair | average 03:47–09:41, 12:42–14:52 |
Haircut factors: weekday Tuesday; nakshatra Anuradha until 14:52, Jyestha from 14:52; tithi Shukla-chaturdashi until 06:25, Purnima from 06:25; lagna Vrishabha 03:47, Mithuna 04:17, Karka 06:43, Simha 09:41, Kanya 12:42, Tula 15:42, Vrischika 18:43
Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Anuradha (until 14:52) — loss of money. In general Anuradha is favourable, but not for the very first shaving, cutting or trimming of hair (“vapanam”); Jyestha (from 14:52) — loss (reduction) of landed property (real estate); Tuesday — harm to longevity.
Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:

- Purnima 06:25–21:11: a Parva tithi — haircuts and shaving are postponed (according to the Muhurta Chintamani).
Cautions:

- Jyeshtha: favourable for shaving according to the Muhurta Chintamani and B. V. Raman (the rating above follows the Kalaprakashika, where it is avoided).

Cutting hair, shaving: good 17:45–18:31
Windows are the best daytime hours according to the site’s summary rating, excluding the times of the day’s prohibitions (see below).

| Cutting fingernails | average 03:45–09:29, 12:30–21:13 |
| Cutting toenails | good 17:45–18:31 |
| Bathing, washing hair | good 03:45–09:29, 12:30–21:13 |
Haircut factors: weekday Friday; nakshatra Purva-Ashadha until 17:45, Uttara-Ashadha from 17:45; tithi Krishna-dvitya until 07:44, Krishna-tritya from 07:44; lagna Vrishabha 03:45, Mithuna 04:05, Karka 06:31, Simha 09:29, Kanya 12:30, Tula 15:30, Vrischika 18:31
Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Purva-Ashadha (until 17:45) — ruin of the family; Uttara-Ashadha (from 17:45) — 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).

Haircut and shaving
Cutting hair, shaving: average 03:44–04:16, 15:28–18:16
Windows are the best daytime hours according to the site’s summary rating, excluding the times of the day’s prohibitions (see below).

| Cutting fingernails, cutting toenails | average 03:44–04:16, 15:28–18:16 |
| Bathing, washing hair | average 03:44–21:00 |
Haircut factors: weekday Tuesday; nakshatra Shatabhisha until 16:38, Purva-Bhadra from 16:38; tithi Krishna-shashti until 04:16, Krishna-saptami from 04:16; lagna Vrishabha 03:44, Mithuna 03:49, Karka 06:15, Simha 09:13, Kanya 12:14, Tula 15:15, Vrischika 18:16, Dhanu 21:00
Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Shatabhisha (until 16:38) — gaining strength; Purva-Bhadra (from 16:38) — facing death (dangers); Tuesday — harm to longevity.
Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:
- Bhadra on earth 04:16–15:28: 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).

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Ashwini (until 10:40) — joy; Bharani (from 10:40) — facing death (dangers); 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).

Windows are the best daytime hours according to the site’s summary rating, excluding the times of the day’s prohibitions (see below).

Haircut factors: weekday Wednesday; nakshatra Ardra; tithi Amavasya until 06:50, Shukla-pratipat from 06:50; lagna Mithuna 03:45, Karka 05:44, Simha 08:42, Kanya 11:43, Tula 14:43, Vrischika 17:44, Dhanu 20:29
Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Ardra — sadness; Wednesday — favour of the authorities.
Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:
- Amavasya 03:45–06:50: a Parva tithi — haircuts and shaving are postponed (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).

Patron: Trivikrama; Aditya — Mitra. Full moon in nakshatra Jyeshtha. Ritu: Grishma.
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: Vikriti (No. 24)
Shaka Samvat 1920 · Vikram Samvat 2055 · Kali Yuga 5099
Next year — Pramathi, from the new moon before Ugadi (the start of Chaitra) 17.03.1999
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: Bhadra. Deity: Indra.
The seventh lunar day is ruled by Indra and this favors the start of travel, the purchase of vehicles, as well as other matters where movement is a characteristic feature.
Meaning: Powerful, sufficient
Symbol: Throne, palanquin, royal canopy
Deity: Pitris or Pitars - ancestors of the clan, forefathers
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: Ketu
Shakti: leave the body (temporarily or completely), give transformation similar to death
Inauspicious: portends failures and injuries; the first 9 ghatis (about 3 h 36 min) 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: Shri (Lakshmi)
Auspicious: trade, deals, buying and selling, partnerships and long-term business projects.
A karana is half a tithi; there are 60 of them in a lunar month.
Lord: Moon
Favorable for any daily activities related to water, food, housing, women, trade, hotels, utilities, etc. You can carry out a wide variety of earthworks, both gardening and construction; preparing food, getting a haircut, doing treatment, decorating, building relationships, getting married and hiring.
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): field work, planting rice, grain, trees or flowers
plants of the day: watery vegetables such as cucumbers and zucchini, water-loving plants such as rice

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.
“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.

Auspicious yogas support the day’s affairs; inauspicious ones (especially Utpata, Mrityu and Kana) weaken them.
The time of Vishti Karana — halves of the 4th, 8th, 11th and 15th tithis of the bright half and of the 3rd, 7th, 10th and 14th of the dark half of the month. Auspicious activities are not begun during Bhadra; its strength depends on where it resides: on earth it is most harmful, while in heaven or in the netherworld the harm is mitigated (according to a verse of the Muhurta Chintamani, there it even portends good fortune and gain).
“Mouth” of Bhadra — the most dangerous 5 ghatis (2 hours) of Bhadra; nothing important is done at this time.
“Tail” of Bhadra — the last 3 ghatis (1 h 12 min) of one of its praharas; considered an acceptable time if Bhadra cannot be avoided (for example, for Holika Dahan).
The Moon in Ashwini, Ashlesha, Magha, Jyeshtha, Mula or Revati — the nakshatras at the junctions of signs. For those born in them, tradition prescribes a pacifying rite; new undertakings call for caution.
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 2 (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 07:30–09:00; if the nominal 6:00–18:00 day is counted in local mean time — 07:59–09:29 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 4. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 10:30–12:00.
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 6. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 13:30–15:00. 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.
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.

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.
Monday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday — the days of the gentle (saumya) planets: the Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus.
A tithi favourable for new undertakings: in the bright half of the month — the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 10th, 11th and 13th, in the dark half — the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th.
Auspicious: festivals, joyful occasions, rest and recreation.
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.
8th tithi: a day of Durga and Shiva, good for fasting and worship, but weaker than usual for worldly undertakings.
Vishti Karana with the Moon in Karka, Simha, Kumbha or Mina: Bhadra resides on earth (bhu-loka) and is especially harmful.
The Moon in an ugra or tikshna nakshatra: a time for harsh deeds, not for auspicious undertakings.
Group: Jaya. Deity: Vasus.
The ruler of the eighth lunar day is Vasu, which favors the beginning of military operations, the construction of defenses and fortifications.
Meaning: Prior red
Symbol: Headboard, rarely: hammock, ficus
Deity: Bhaga (Share, Distributor) - god of wealth and family
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: give reproduction, the receiving of fruit
Deity: Yama
Bhadra — the most inauspicious karana: weddings, journeys, purchases and any auspicious undertakings are avoided during it. It suits only harsh deeds: fighting enemies, demolition, removing obstacles.
A karana is half a tithi; there are 60 of them in a lunar month.
Lord: Mars
Promotes decisive manifestations of will, competitions, active and gambling games, sports, training, overcoming obstacles, working with fire, metal (especially iron), mechanisms, electricity, explosive substances and weapons, militant actions, demand from debtors, litigation, verdicts, quarrels, conflicts, control of parasites (insects and rats) and similar matters. Some medical procedures, such as massage or chiropractic therapy, can be carried out during this time.

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.
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 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.

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 7 (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 15:00–16:30; if the nominal 6:00–18:00 day is counted in local mean time — 15:29–16:59 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 3. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 09:00–10:30.
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 5. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 12:00–13:30. 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.

A karana is half a tithi; there are 60 of them in a lunar month.
Lord: Mercury

plants of the day: climbers, plants that depend on others and adapt quickly, all leafy greens

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.
