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. | 8:14 AM – 9:53 AM |
|---|---|
Yamagandam?Another avoid-window. Tradition says things begun now don’t finish well, so big starts and journeys wait. | 1:12 PM – 2:52 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. | 4:55 AM – 6:35 AM |
Auspicious times
Abhijit Muhurtham?The midday power slot around local noon — considered good for almost anything. Not used on Wednesdays. | 11:06 AM – 11:59 AM |
|---|---|
Brahma Muhurtham?The calm window before dawn, prized for study, meditation and yoga. | 3:29 AM – 4:12 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. | 6:35 AM – 8:14 AM Uthi9:53 AM – 11:33 AM Amirdha1:12 PM – 2:52 PM Laabam2:52 PM – 4:31 PM Dhanam4:31 PM – 6:10 PM SugamGowri Panchangam → |
Five limbs of the day
| Day | Saturday |
|---|---|
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 Chaturdasi until 5:11 AM then Amavasya until 1:30 AM (17 May) then Shukla Prathama |
Nakshatra?The star-zone the Moon is passing through. There are 27; the one at your birth is your birth star. | Bharani until 5:30 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. | Saubhagya until 10:25 AM then Shobhana |
Karana?Half a tithi. Eleven kinds cycle through the month; Vishti (Bhadra) is the one people avoid. | Shakuni until 5:11 AM then Chatushpada until 3:23 PM then Naga until 1:30 AM (17 May) then Kimstughna |
Moon sign (Rasi)?The zodiac sign (rasi) the Moon is in right now. It moves on every 2¼ days. | Mesha (Aries) until 10:46 PM then Rishabha (Taurus) |
| Sun sign | Rishabha (Taurus) |
| Lunar month (amanta) | Vaishakha, 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. | Kanya (Virgo) until 10:46 PM then Thula (Libra) |

About today’s panchangam for Hugli
In Hugli on Saturday, 16 May 2026, the sun rises at 4:55 AM and sets at 6:10 PM. Rahu Kalam runs 8:14 AM – 9:53 AM, Yamagandam 1:12 PM – 2:52 PM and Gulikai Kalam 4:55 AM – 6:35 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 Chaturdasi tithi and Bharani nakshatra. The Tamil date is Vaikasi 2, Parabhava year.
