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. | 10:01 AM – 11:36 AM |
|---|---|
Yamagandam?Another avoid-window. Tradition says things begun now don’t finish well, so big starts and journeys wait. | 2:47 PM – 4:22 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. | 6:50 AM – 8:25 AM |
Auspicious times
Abhijit Muhurtham?The midday power slot around local noon — considered good for almost anything. Not used on Wednesdays. | 11:11 AM – 12:01 PM |
|---|---|
Brahma Muhurtham?The calm window before dawn, prized for study, meditation and yoga. | 3:44 AM – 4:29 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. | 5:14 AM – 6:50 AM Sugam8:25 AM – 10:01 AM Uthi11:36 AM – 1:11 PM Amirdha2:47 PM – 4:22 PM Laabam4:22 PM – 5:58 PM DhanamGowri Panchangam → |
Five limbs of the day
| Day | Friday |

Karana?Half a tithi. Eleven kinds cycle through the month; Vishti (Bhadra) is the one people avoid. | Chatushpada until 6:50 AM then Naga until 5:21 PM then Kimstughna until 3:48 AM (18 Apr) then Bava |
Moon sign (Rasi)?The zodiac sign (rasi) the Moon is in right now. It moves on every 2¼ days. | Meena (Pisces) until 12:02 PM then Mesha (Aries) |
| Sun sign | Mesha (Aries) |
| Lunar month (amanta) | Chaitra, 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. | Simha (Leo) until 12:02 PM then Kanya (Virgo) |

About today’s panchangam for Hugli
In Hugli on Friday, 17 April 2026, the sun rises at 5:14 AM and sets at 5:58 PM. Rahu Kalam runs 10:01 AM – 11:36 AM, Yamagandam 2:47 PM – 4:22 PM and Gulikai Kalam 6:50 AM – 8:25 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 Amavasya tithi and Revati (Revathi) nakshatra. The Tamil date is Chithirai 4, Parabhava year.
