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. | 9:17 AM – 10:42 AM |
|---|---|
Yamagandam?Another avoid-window. Tradition says things begun now don’t finish well, so big starts and journeys wait. | 1:33 PM – 2:59 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. | 6:26 AM – 7:51 AM |
Auspicious times
Abhijit Muhurtham?The midday power slot around local noon — considered good for almost anything. Not used on Wednesdays. | 11:45 AM – 12:31 PM |
|---|---|
Brahma Muhurtham?The calm window before dawn, prized for study, meditation and yoga. | 4:45 AM – 5:35 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. | 7:51 AM – 9:17 AM Uthi10:42 AM – 12:08 PM Amirdha1:33 PM – 2:59 PM Laabam2:59 PM – 4:24 PM Dhanam4:24 PM – 5:50 PM SugamGowri Panchangam → |
Five limbs of the day

Yoga?One of 27 combinations of the Sun’s and Moon’s positions, each with its own flavour for the day. | Priti until 8:26 PM then Ayushman |
Karana?Half a tithi. Eleven kinds cycle through the month; Vishti (Bhadra) is the one people avoid. | Bava until 10:41 AM then Balava until 9:01 PM then Kaulava |
Moon sign (Rasi)?The zodiac sign (rasi) the Moon is in right now. It moves on every 2¼ days. | Mesha (Aries) all day |
| Sun sign | Mesha (Aries) |
| Lunar month (amanta) | Vaishakha, 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) all day |

About today’s panchangam for Roodepoort
In Roodepoort on Saturday, 18 April 2026, the sun rises at 6:26 AM and sets at 5:50 PM. Rahu Kalam runs 9:17 AM – 10:42 AM, Yamagandam 1:33 PM – 2:59 PM and Gulikai Kalam 6:26 AM – 7:51 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 Shukla Prathama tithi and Bharani nakshatra. The Tamil date is Chithirai 5, Parabhava year.
