Times to avoid

Rahu Kalam

About 90 minutes each day when people avoid starting anything new — signing, buying, setting out. Work already in progress is fine.

1:36 PM – 3:08 PM
Yamagandam

Another avoid-window. Tradition says things begun now don’t finish well, so big starts and journeys wait.

5:52 AM – 7:24 AM
Gulikai Kalam

Whatever you do in Gulikai is said to repeat. Skipped for things you never want again (loans, funerals); some use it for things they do.

8:57 AM – 10:30 AM

Auspicious times

Abhijit Muhurtham

The midday power slot around local noon — considered good for almost anything. Not used on Wednesdays.

11:38 AM – 12:28 PM
Brahma Muhurtham

The calm window before dawn, prized for study, meditation and yoga.

4:18 AM – 5:05 AM
Nalla Neram

The Tamil way to pick a good time: day and night are each cut into 8 slots, and every slot has a name that says whether it’s good or not.

Five limbs of the day

DayThursday
Tithi

The lunar day. Each time the Moon pulls 12° further from the Sun a new tithi begins — 30 in a lunar month, so it can change at any hour.

Krishna Panchami until 9:05 AM
then Krishna Shashti
Nakshatra

The star-zone the Moon is passing through. There are 27; the one at your birth is your birth star.

Rohini until 12:57 AM (2 Oct)
then Mrigashira (Mirugasirisham)
Yoga

One of 27 combinations of the Sun’s and Moon’s positions, each with its own flavour for the day.

Siddhi until 5:48 PM
then Vyatipata
Karana

Half a tithi. Eleven kinds cycle through the month; Vishti (Bhadra) is the one people avoid.

Taitila until 9:05 AM
then Gara until 7:55 PM
then Vanija
Moon sign (Rasi)

The zodiac sign (rasi) the Moon is in right now. It moves on every 2¼ days.

Rishabha (Taurus) all day
Sun signKanya (Virgo)
Lunar month (amanta)Bhadrapada, Krishna Paksha
Chandrashtama for

If this is your moon sign, the Moon is in your 8th house — tradition says keep it low-key and put off big decisions.

Thula (Libra) all day

About today’s panchangam for Botshabelo

In Botshabelo on Thursday, 1 October 2026, the sun rises at 5:52 AM and sets at 6:14 PM. Rahu Kalam runs 1:36 PM – 3:08 PM, Yamagandam 5:52 AM – 7:24 AM and Gulikai Kalam 8:57 AM – 10:30 AM. These periods, like the good-time slots, are found by dividing the time between local sunrise and sunset into eight equal parts — which is why they shift from city to city and day to day, and why a fixed “7:30 to 9:00” chart is only an approximation.

The day begins at sunrise with Krishna Panchami tithi and Rohini nakshatra. The Tamil date is Purattasi 15, Parabhava year.
