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. | 3:34 PM – 5:11 PM |
|---|---|
Yamagandam?Another avoid-window. Tradition says things begun now don’t finish well, so big starts and journeys wait. | 9:07 AM – 10:44 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. | 12:20 PM – 1:57 PM |
Auspicious times
Abhijit Muhurtham?The midday power slot around local noon — considered good for almost anything. Not used on Wednesdays. | 11:55 AM – 12:46 PM |
|---|---|
Brahma Muhurtham?The calm window before dawn, prized for study, meditation and yoga. | 4:24 AM – 5:08 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. | 7:30 AM – 9:07 AM Laabam9:07 AM – 10:44 AM Dhanam10:44 AM – 12:20 PM Sugam1:57 PM – 3:34 PM Uthi5:11 PM – 6:48 PM AmirdhaGowri Panchangam → |
Five limbs of the day
| Day | Tuesday |

Nakshatra?The star-zone the Moon is passing through. There are 27; the one at your birth is your birth star. | Dhanishta (Avittam) until 5:46 PM then Shatabhisha (Sathayam) |
Yoga?One of 27 combinations of the Sun’s and Moon’s positions, each with its own flavour for the day. | Parigha until 8:58 PM then Shiva |
Karana?Half a tithi. Eleven kinds cycle through the month; Vishti (Bhadra) is the one people avoid. | Naga until 2:01 PM then Kimstughna until 1:48 AM (18 Feb) then Bava |
Moon sign (Rasi)?The zodiac sign (rasi) the Moon is in right now. It moves on every 2¼ days. | Kumbha (Aquarius) all day |
| Sun sign | Kumbha (Aquarius) |
| Lunar month (amanta) | Magha, 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. | Kataka (Cancer) all day |

About today’s panchangam for Brakpan
In Brakpan on Tuesday, 17 February 2026, the sun rises at 5:53 AM and sets at 6:48 PM. Rahu Kalam runs 3:34 PM – 5:11 PM, Yamagandam 9:07 AM – 10:44 AM and Gulikai Kalam 12:20 PM – 1:57 PM. 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 Amavasya tithi and Dhanishta (Avittam) nakshatra. The Tamil date is Maasi 5, Visuvavasu year.
