Samvatsara and month

Siddharthi (No. 53, “one who has reached the goal”) — A year of achievement: wishes fulfilled and success in affairs. more

Northern samvatsara: Shrimukha. Shaka Samvat 2081, Vikram Samvat 2216, Kali Yuga 5260.

Adhika Jyeshtha (Shukra) — The hottest month, a time to honour water and the Ganga: Ganga Dussehra, Nirjala Ekadashi, Vat Purnima. more

Nija Jyeshtha (Shukra) — The hottest month, a time to honour water and the Ganga: Ganga Dussehra, Nirjala Ekadashi, Vat Purnima. more

Adhika Masa (intercalary month, also called Purushottama Masa or Mala Masa) — a lunar month during which the Sun does not pass into a new sign; it takes the name of the following month with the prefix “Adhika”, and the month after it is called “Nija” (true). In an Adhika month the annual festivals are not observed (they move to the Nija month; the exception is Ganga Dussehra, which in a year with Adhika Jyeshtha is celebrated in the intercalary month), weddings are not held, upanayana, housewarming and the laying of a house foundation are not performed, and no major undertakings are begun. Monthly observances — Ekadashis (Padmini and Parama), Pradosha, Purnima, Amavasya, Shivaratri — are kept as usual, and the month itself is dedicated to Purushottama (Vishnu) and is especially good for japa, reading sacred texts, fasting and dana.

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 · after 2100, times are approximate: the ΔT correction for such dates is unknown

Summary	Favourable day — Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga, Yoga Siddha; auspicious time — after 09:56 Adhika Masa: not for weddings, housewarmings or major new undertakings; good for spiritual practice.

Haircut and shaving

Cutting hair, shaving: average 05:22–10:26, 13:27–19:28

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	average 05:22–10:26, 13:27–19:28
Cutting fingernails, cutting toenails	average 05:22–10:26, 13:27–19:28
Bathing, washing hair	good 03:54–09:56

Haircut factors: weekday Friday; nakshatra Anuradha until 09:56, Jyestha from 09:56; tithi Purnima until 05:22, Krishna-pratipat from 05:22; lagna Vrishabha 03:54, Mithuna 04:57, Karka 07:27, Simha 10:26, Kanya 13:27, Tula 16:27, Vrischika 19:28

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Anuradha (until 09:56) — loss of money. In general Anuradha is favourable, but not for the very first shaving, cutting or trimming of hair (“vapanam”); Jyestha (from 09:56) — loss (reduction) of landed property (real estate); Friday — universal respect.

Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:

Purnima 03:54–05:22: a Parva tithi — haircuts and shaving are postponed (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.
Jyeshtha: favourable for shaving according to the Muhurta Chintamani and B. V. Raman (the rating above follows the Kalaprakashika, where it is avoided).
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).

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, 21:10–22:29

Haircut and shaving

Cutting hair, shaving: good 07:46–09:59, 12:59–19:00

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 07:46–09:59, 12:59–19:00
Cutting fingernails, cutting toenails	good 07:46–09:59, 12:59–19:00
Bathing, washing hair	good 03:48–09:59, 12:59–21:10

Haircut factors: weekday Friday; nakshatra Shatabhisha; tithi Krishna-saptami until 20:12, Krishna-ashtami from 20:12; lagna Vrishabha 03:48, Mithuna 04:30, Karka 07:00, Simha 09:59, Kanya 12:59, Tula 16:00, Vrischika 19:00

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Shatabhisha — gaining strength; Friday — universal respect.

Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:

Krishna-ashtami 20:12–21:10: a Parva tithi — haircuts and shaving are postponed (according to the Muhurta Chintamani).
Bhadra on earth 03:48–07:46: 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 03:48–07:01: 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).
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 hair, shaving	average 03:46–09:43, 12:44–18:45
Cutting fingernails, cutting toenails	average 03:46–09:43, 12:44–18:45
Bathing, washing hair	average throughout the daytime

Haircut factors: weekday Tuesday; nakshatra Revati until 04:05, Ashwini from 04:05; tithi Krishna-ekadashi until 16:36, Krishna-dvadashi from 16:36; lagna Vrishabha 03:46, Mithuna 04:14, Karka 06:44, Simha 09:43, Kanya 12:44, Tula 15:44, Vrischika 18:45

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Revati (until 04:05) — increase in property; Ashwini (from 04:05) — joy; Tuesday — harm to longevity.

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).

Festivals and periods

Nirjala Ekadashi (Pandava, Bhima Ekadashi) · Vishnu

The strictest Ekadashi of the year: a fast without food and even without water, from sunrise to sunrise. According to legend, Bhima observed only this one, and this single fast equals all 24 Ekadashis of the year. Water, water pots, umbrellas and fans are given in charity.

Rule: udaya vyapini: tithi at sunrise, tithi 09:56 (25.06)–11:32

Adhika Jyeshtha (Vedic name Shukra) — intercalary month: festivals of the month with this name are observed in the Nija month that follows it.
Patron: Trivikrama; Aditya — Mitra. Full moon in nakshatra Jyeshtha. Ritu: Grishma.
Adhika Masa (intercalary month, also called Purushottama Masa or Mala Masa) — a lunar month during which the Sun does not pass into a new sign; it takes the name of the following month with the prefix “Adhika”, and the month after it is called “Nija” (true). In an Adhika month the annual festivals are not observed (they move to the Nija month; the exception is Ganga Dussehra, which in a year with Adhika Jyeshtha is celebrated in the intercalary month), weddings are not held, upanayana, housewarming and the laying of a house foundation are not performed, and no major undertakings are begun. Monthly observances — Ekadashis (Padmini and Parama), Pradosha, Purnima, Amavasya, Shivaratri — are kept as usual, and the month itself is dedicated to Purushottama (Vishnu) and is especially good for japa, reading sacred texts, fasting and dana.

Amanta and purnimanta
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.

Siddharthi (No. 53 of 60, “one who has reached the goal”) — A year of achievement: wishes fulfilled and success in affairs.
Northern samvatsara: Shrimukha (No. 7)
Shaka Samvat 2081 · Vikram Samvat 2216 · Kali Yuga 5260
Next year — Raudra, from the new moon before Ugadi (the start of Chaitra) 6.04.2160
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.

Purnima (15, waxing Moon)
Group: Purna. Deity: Vishvedevas.
Vishvedevas rule the full moon and protect the peace of mind and the performance of austerities.

Anuradha (17)
Meaning: Following Radha, success
Symbol: Lotus flower, row, furrow or rut
Deity: Mitra (Friend)
Type: soft (mridu, maitra) — For arts and music, friendship and love, new clothes and jewellery, weddings and festivals.
Vimshottari lord: Saturn
Shakti: give worship (whence abundance and honor, worthy relationships and popularity)

Siddha (21) — “perfected, accomplished”
Especially auspicious: success of undertakings, gaining knowledge and receiving initiations.
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.

Bava (movable)
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.

Shukra vara — Venus Day
Lord: Venus
All manifestations of beauty and harmony find their support and development on this day, therefore, most worldly and spiritual affairs that do not rely on brute force are good to begin or implement at this time. The day is especially good for marriage, hiring workers, building relationships, creativity, music, singing, dancing, poetry and holding holidays or performances, it is best to schedule a romantic date at this time - it will add additional shine to decorations and a special aroma to flowers, and tact to the owners of all this.

Dawn
Start of morning civil twilight: the Sun is 6° below the horizon and the sky grows light.

Sunrise
Appearance of the upper limb of the solar disc, with refraction. The Vedic day and the vara begin at sunrise.

Noon
True noon — the culmination of the Sun, midway between sunrise and sunset.

Sunset
The upper limb of the solar disc disappears below the horizon (with refraction).

End of twilight
End of evening civil twilight: the Sun is 6° below the horizon.

Moonrise
Appearance of the upper limb of the lunar disc above the horizon. The decisive time for Sankashti Chaturthi and Karwa Chauth.

Moonset
The upper limb of the lunar disc disappears below the horizon.

The exact opposition of the Sun and the Moon: the Moon is at full strength. A time for fasts, pujas and charity.

Gardener’s calendar
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).

Friday — Day of Venus
what to do (Tibetan tradition): planting flowers and trees; digging the ground is not very favorable; do not prune and the like
plants of the day: flowers, ornamental plants

nakshatra Anuradha
No pruning; planting flowers, soaking and the like are allowed.

Purnima
sowing seeds, any undertakings

Krishna-pratipat
digging, plowing, planting trees

nakshatra Jyestha
For pruning and uprooting; plowing and watering are allowed, but nothing else.

Adhika Masa
An intercalary lunar month (Purushottama Masa): annual festivals move to the following Nija month (except Ganga Dussehra: in a year with Adhika Jyeshtha it is observed in the intercalary month); not a time for new undertakings — weddings, housewarmings, new vows. Good for japa, scripture reading and charity.

Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga
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.

Siddha Yoga (weekday and tithi)
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.

Anandadi: Chara — “movable”
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.

Anandadi: Rakshasa — “demon”
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.

Dagdha Yoga (weekday and nakshatra)
“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.

Gandanta
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.

Brahma Muhurta
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.

Abhijit Muhurta
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.

Vijaya Muhurta
The 11th daytime muhurta, the “time of victory”: good for journeys, contests and decisive action; the main time of Vijayadashami.

Godhuli
“Dust from the hooves” — about 24 minutes right after sunset, when the cows return from pasture. An auspicious time for weddings and evening rites.

Pradosha
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.

Nishitha
Midnight — the 8th muhurta of the night. The decisive time for Maha Shivaratri, Krishna Janmashtami and Kali Puja.

Amrita Kalam
“Time of nectar” — about an hour and a half within each nakshatra, favourable for any new undertaking and mitigating inauspicious factors.

Rahu Kalam
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.

Yamaganda
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.

Gulika Kalam
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.

Dur Muhurta
An inauspicious muhurta (about 48 minutes) — one or two per day, specific to each weekday. It is avoided for new undertakings, journeys and deals.

Varjyam
“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.

Cutting fingernails
B. V. Raman: nails are not cut on Friday or Saturday, on Ashtami, Navami or Chaturdashi, or on new moon and full moon days.

Rules and sources
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).

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.

Rahu Kalam
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.

Yamaganda
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.

Gulika Kalam
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.

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.

Anandadi: Siddhi — “success”
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 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.

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).

The Moon in Kanya, Tula, Dhanu or Makara: Bhadra is in patala (the netherworld) — its influence on earth is weak; according to a verse of the Muhurta Chintamani, it even portends gain.

Rahu Kalam
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.

Yamaganda
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.

Gulika Kalam
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.

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 6 (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 13:30–15:00; if the nominal 6:00–18:00 day is counted in local mean time — 13:59–15:29 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.

Yamaganda
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 1. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 06:00–07:30.

Gulika Kalam
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 3. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 09:00–10:30. 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.
