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. | 2:17 PM – 3:31 PM |
|---|---|
Yamagandam?Another avoid-window. Tradition says things begun now don’t finish well, so big starts and journeys wait. | 9:20 AM – 10:34 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. | 11:48 AM – 1:03 PM |
Auspicious times
Abhijit Muhurtham?The midday power slot around local noon — considered good for almost anything. Not used on Wednesdays. | 11:29 AM – 12:08 PM |
|---|---|
Brahma Muhurtham?The calm window before dawn, prized for study, meditation and yoga. | 4:59 AM – 5:55 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. | 8:06 AM – 9:20 AM Laabam9:20 AM – 10:34 AM Dhanam10:34 AM – 11:48 AM Sugam1:03 PM – 2:17 PM Uthi3:31 PM – 4:45 PM AmirdhaGowri Panchangam → |
Five limbs of the day
| Day | Tuesday |
|---|---|
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 9:17 PM then Pournami |
Nakshatra?The star-zone the Moon is passing through. There are 27; the one at your birth is your birth star. | Rohini until 6:26 PM then Mrigashira (Mirugasirisham) |
Yoga?One of 27 combinations of the Sun’s and Moon’s positions, each with its own flavour for the day. | Sadhya until 8:02 AM then Shubha until 3:45 AM (23 Dec) then Shukla |
Karana?Half a tithi. Eleven kinds cycle through the month; Vishti (Bhadra) is the one people avoid. | Gara until 11:08 AM then Vanija until 9:17 PM then Vishti (Bhadra) |
Moon sign (Rasi)?The zodiac sign (rasi) the Moon is in right now. It moves on every 2¼ days. | Rishabha (Taurus) until 4:56 AM (23 Dec) then Mithuna (Gemini) |
| Sun sign | Dhanus (Sagittarius) |
| Lunar month (amanta) | Margashirsha, 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. | Thula (Libra) until 4:56 AM (23 Dec) then Vrischika (Scorpio) |

About today’s panchangam for Riverside
In Riverside on Tuesday, 22 December 2026, the sun rises at 6:51 AM and sets at 4:45 PM. Rahu Kalam runs 2:17 PM – 3:31 PM, Yamagandam 9:20 AM – 10:34 AM and Gulikai Kalam 11:48 AM – 1:03 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 Rohini nakshatra. The Tamil date is Margazhi 7, Parabhava year.
