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. | 4:45 PM – 6:16 PM |
|---|---|
Yamagandam?Another avoid-window. Tradition says things begun now don’t finish well, so big starts and journeys wait. | 12:13 PM – 1:44 PM |
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. | 3:15 PM – 4:45 PM |
Auspicious times
Abhijit Muhurtham?The midday power slot around local noon — considered good for almost anything. Not used on Wednesdays. | 11:49 AM – 12:38 PM |
|---|---|
Brahma Muhurtham?The calm window before dawn, prized for study, meditation and yoga. | 4:36 AM – 5:23 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. | 6:11 AM – 7:42 AM Uthi7:42 AM – 9:12 AM Amirdha10:43 AM – 12:13 PM Laabam12:13 PM – 1:44 PM Dhanam1:44 PM – 3:15 PM SugamGowri Panchangam → |
Five limbs of the day
| Day | Sunday |

Nakshatra?The star-zone the Moon is passing through. There are 27; the one at your birth is your birth star. | Bharani until 7:12 PM then Krittika (Karthigai) |
Yoga?One of 27 combinations of the Sun’s and Moon’s positions, each with its own flavour for the day. | Vaidhriti until 12:11 PM then Vishkambha |
Karana?Half a tithi. Eleven kinds cycle through the month; Vishti (Bhadra) is the one people avoid. | Vanija until 7:07 AM then Vishti (Bhadra) until 5:47 PM then Bava until 4:27 AM (23 Mar) then Balava |
Moon sign (Rasi)?The zodiac sign (rasi) the Moon is in right now. It moves on every 2¼ days. | Mesha (Aries) until 12:44 AM (23 Mar) then Rishabha (Taurus) |
| Sun sign | Meena (Pisces) |
| Lunar month (amanta) | Chaitra, Shukla Paksha |

About today’s panchangam for Brakpan
In Brakpan on Sunday, 22 March 2026, the sun rises at 6:11 AM and sets at 6:16 PM. Rahu Kalam runs 4:45 PM – 6:16 PM, Yamagandam 12:13 PM – 1:44 PM and Gulikai Kalam 3:15 PM – 4:45 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 Shukla Chaturthi tithi and Bharani nakshatra. The Tamil date is Panguni 8, Visuvavasu year.
