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. | 12:16 PM – 1:58 PM |
|---|---|
Yamagandam?Another avoid-window. Tradition says things begun now don’t finish well, so big starts and journeys wait. | 7:09 AM – 8:52 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. | 10:34 AM – 12:16 PM |
Auspicious times
Abhijit Muhurtham?The midday power slot around local noon — considered good for almost anything. Not used on Wednesdays. | Not observed on Wednesdays |
|---|---|
Brahma Muhurtham?The calm window before dawn, prized for study, meditation and yoga. | 4:04 AM – 4:46 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. | 5:27 AM – 7:09 AM Laabam7:09 AM – 8:52 AM Dhanam8:52 AM – 10:34 AM Sugam1:58 PM – 3:41 PM Uthi3:41 PM – 5:23 PM AmirdhaGowri Panchangam → |
Five limbs of the day
| Day | Wednesday |
|---|---|

Yoga?One of 27 combinations of the Sun’s and Moon’s positions, each with its own flavour for the day. | Vaidhriti until 2:25 PM then Vishkambha |
Karana?Half a tithi. Eleven kinds cycle through the month; Vishti (Bhadra) is the one people avoid. | Bava until 6:03 AM then Balava until 4:21 PM then Kaulava until 2:37 AM (13 Jan) then Taitila |
Moon sign (Rasi)?The zodiac sign (rasi) the Moon is in right now. It moves on every 2¼ days. | Mithuna (Gemini) until 10:31 AM then Kataka (Cancer) |
| Sun sign | Dhanus (Sagittarius) |

About today’s panchangam for Randburg
In Randburg on Wednesday, 12 January 2028, the sun rises at 5:27 AM and sets at 7:05 PM. Rahu Kalam runs 12:16 PM – 1:58 PM, Yamagandam 7:09 AM – 8:52 AM and Gulikai Kalam 10:34 AM – 12:16 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 Pournami tithi and Punarvasu (Punarpoosam) nakshatra. The Tamil date is Margazhi 28, Plavanga year.
