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. | 6:48 AM – 8:30 AM |
|---|---|
Yamagandam?Another avoid-window. Tradition says things begun now don’t finish well, so big starts and journeys wait. | 10:11 AM – 11:53 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. | 1:34 PM – 3:16 PM |
Auspicious times
Abhijit Muhurtham?The midday power slot around local noon — considered good for almost anything. Not used on Wednesdays. | 11:26 AM – 12:20 PM |
|---|---|
Brahma Muhurtham?The calm window before dawn, prized for study, meditation and yoga. | 3:43 AM – 4:25 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. | 5:07 AM – 6:48 AM Amirdha10:11 AM – 11:53 AM Laabam11:53 AM – 1:34 PM Dhanam1:34 PM – 3:16 PM Sugam4:58 PM – 6:39 PM UthiGowri Panchangam → |
Five limbs of the day
| Day | Monday |
|---|---|
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. | Shukla Chaturdasi until 8:12 PM then Pournami |
Nakshatra?The star-zone the Moon is passing through. There are 27; the one at your birth is your birth star. | Bharani until 10:32 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. | Variyan until 4:28 PM then Parigha |
Karana?Half a tithi. Eleven kinds cycle through the month; Vishti (Bhadra) is the one people avoid. | Gara until 9:43 AM then Vanija until 8:12 PM then Vishti (Bhadra) |
Moon sign (Rasi)?The zodiac sign (rasi) the Moon is in right now. It moves on every 2¼ days. | Mesha (Aries) until 3:54 AM (24 Nov) then Rishabha (Taurus) |
| Sun sign | Vrischika (Scorpio) |
| Lunar month (amanta) | Kartika, Shukla 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. | Kanya (Virgo) until 3:54 AM (24 Nov) then Thula (Libra) |

About today’s panchangam for Brakpan
In Brakpan on Monday, 23 November 2026, the sun rises at 5:07 AM and sets at 6:39 PM. Rahu Kalam runs 6:48 AM – 8:30 AM, Yamagandam 10:11 AM – 11:53 AM and Gulikai Kalam 1:34 PM – 3:16 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 Chaturdasi tithi and Bharani nakshatra. The Tamil date is Karthigai 8, Parabhava year.
