Samvatsara and month
Virodhikrit (No. 45, “maker of enmity”) — A year of enmity: quarrels, confrontation and rivalry; alliances need safeguarding. more
Northern samvatsara: Raktakshi. Shaka Samvat 1953, Vikram Samvat 2088, Kali Yuga 5132.
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

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, Vishakha (03:50–11:31) is good for sowing, for root crops.
- According to the Kalaprakashika, Anuradha (11:31–21:05) is good for sowing, for flowering plants and fruit-bearing creepers.
- Vishti Karana (Bhadra) 18:21–21:05: according to the Kalaprakashika, sowing, reaping and harvesting are not begun during it.
- Shukla-chaturdashi 03:50–18:21: 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, 21:05–22:26

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 | good 06:45–09:36, 12:37–17:35 |
|---|---|
| Cutting fingernails, cutting toenails | good 06:45–09:36, 12:37–17:35 |
| Bathing, washing hair | good 03:46–09:36, 12:37–17:35 |
Haircut factors: weekday Wednesday; nakshatra Shatabhisha until 17:35, Purva-Bhadra from 17:35; tithi Krishna-saptami until 17:57, Krishna-ashtami from 17:57; lagna Vrishabha 03:46, Mithuna 04:11, Karka 06:37, Simha 09:36, Kanya 12:37, Tula 15:37, Vrischika 18:38
Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Shatabhisha (until 17:35) — gaining strength; Purva-Bhadra (from 17:35) — facing death (dangers); Wednesday — favour of the authorities.
Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:
- Krishna-ashtami 17:57–21:12: a Parva tithi — haircuts and shaving are postponed (according to the Muhurta Chintamani).
- Bhadra on earth 03:46–06:45: 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).

| Cutting fingernails, cutting toenails | no suitable window — see the prohibitions below |
| Bathing, washing hair | average 03:44–20:14 |
Haircut factors: weekday Sunday; nakshatra Ashwini until 20:14, Bharani from 20:14; tithi Krishna-ekadashi until 17:42, Krishna-dvadashi from 17:42; lagna Vrishabha 03:44, Mithuna 03:55, Karka 06:22, Simha 09:20, Kanya 12:21, Tula 15:21, Vrischika 18:22, Dhanu 21:06
Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Ashwini (until 20:14) — joy; Bharani (from 20:14) — facing death (dangers); Sunday — physical well-being.
Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:
- Sankranti at 17:04 — a Parva day: no haircuts or shaving on this day (according to the Muhurta Chintamani).
Cautions:
- Ekadashi: by custom, those who fast on this day do not cut their hair or shave.
- 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).

Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:
- Amavasya 03:44–21:17: 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).

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Mrigashirsha (until 06:30) — abundance (well-being, prosperity); Ardra (from 06:30) — sadness; Friday — universal respect.
Cautions:
- 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 11:46–17:47 |
| Bathing, washing hair | average 11:46–20:31 |
Haircut factors: weekday Tuesday; nakshatra Ashlesha until 18:15, Magha from 18:15; tithi Shukla-chaturti until 10:57, Shukla-panchami from 10:57; lagna Mithuna 03:45, Karka 05:46, Simha 08:45, Kanya 11:46, Tula 14:46, Vrischika 17:47, Dhanu 20:31
Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Ashlesha (until 18:15) — physical affliction (suffering); Magha (from 18:15) — loss of property; Tuesday — harm to longevity.
Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:
- Shukla-chaturti 03:45–10:57: a Rikta tithi — haircuts and shaving are not advised (according to the Muhurta Chintamani and the Kalaprakashika).
- Bhadra on earth 03:45–10:57: 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:
- The Muhurta Chintamani warns: whoever shaves in Magha nakshatra 4 times a year puts their life in danger — frequent haircuts in this nakshatra are best avoided.

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.

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: Nanda. Deity: Rudra.
The ruler of the eleventh lunar day is Rudra, which is favorable for fasting and religious (spiritual) activities. Remembering the Supreme Deity will give especially positive results.
Meaning: Hand, fist
Symbol: Palm or fist
Deity: Savitar (Animating, Awakening)
Type: light (kshipra, laghu) — For quick matters: trade, healing, study, travel, purchases and starting a business.
Vimshottari lord: Moon
Shakti: give the obtaining of what you want with your own hands, dexterity
Especially auspicious: success in any undertaking, study and spiritual practice.
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: 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.
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): planting trees, sowing grain crops
plants of the day: laurel, spices, for example hot peppers
nakshatra Hasta
Soaking seeds is allowed, but not planting or sowing.
Shukla-ekadashi
pruning and weeding
No pruning; planting flowers, soaking 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 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.
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 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.
“Burnt” tithi of the weekday: Sun — 12, Mon — 11, Tue — 5, Wed — 3, Thu — 6, Fri — 8, Sat — 9. Whatever is begun bears no fruit.
“Fiery” tithi of the weekday: Sun — 12, Mon — 6, Tue — 7, Wed — 8, Thu — 9, Fri — 10, Sat — 11. Portends losses, quarrels and harm; new undertakings are avoided.
“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.
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 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 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.
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.

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.
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.
Vishti Karana (Bhadra) is in force during the daytime, but not on earth (the Moon is not in Karka, Simha, Kumbha or Mina): the harm is mitigated, yet this time is still usually avoided for weddings, travel and important undertakings.
The nitya yoga of “calamity” is in force for most of the day: worldly undertakings are postponed, but the day is good for holy baths, dana, japa and ancestor rites.

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.

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.

Auspicious yogas support the day’s affairs; inauspicious ones (especially Utpata, Mrityu and Kana) weaken them.
“Burnt” combination of weekday and nakshatra: Sun — Bharani, Mon — Chitra, Tue — Uttara Ashadha, Wed — Dhanishtha, Thu — Uttara Phalguni, Fri — Jyeshtha, Sat — Revati. Whatever is begun “burns up” without bearing fruit.
An inauspicious combination of tithi and nakshatra (the “empty” nakshatra of a tithi, for example the 6th or 11th tithi with Rohini, the 12th with Ashlesha). Whatever is begun at this time remains without result.
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.

Auspicious yogas support the day’s affairs; inauspicious ones (especially Utpata, Mrityu and Kana) weaken them.

“Fire-breathing” yoga: the 1st tithi with Mula, the 5th with Bharani, the 8th with Krittika, the 9th with Rohini, the 10th with Ashlesha. Especially harmful for weddings, housewarmings, sowing and beginning studies.
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.
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.
