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. | 3:30 PM – 4:53 PM |
|---|---|
Yamagandam?Another avoid-window. Tradition says things begun now don’t finish well, so big starts and journeys wait. | 9:57 AM – 11:20 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. | 12:43 PM – 2:07 PM |
Auspicious times
Abhijit Muhurtham?The midday power slot around local noon — considered good for almost anything. Not used on Wednesdays. | 12:21 PM – 1:06 PM |
|---|---|
Brahma Muhurtham?The calm window before dawn, prized for study, meditation and yoga. | 5:27 AM – 6:19 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. | 8:34 AM – 9:57 AM Laabam9:57 AM – 11:20 AM Dhanam11:20 AM – 12:43 PM Sugam2:07 PM – 3:30 PM Uthi4:53 PM – 6:17 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. | Amavasya until 5:31 PM then Shukla Prathama |
Nakshatra?The star-zone the Moon is passing through. There are 27; the one at your birth is your birth star. | Dhanishta (Avittam) until 9:16 PM then Shatabhisha (Sathayam) |
Yoga?One of 27 combinations of the Sun’s and Moon’s positions, each with its own flavour for the day. | Parigha until 12:28 AM (18 Feb) then Shiva |
Karana?Half a tithi. Eleven kinds cycle through the month; Vishti (Bhadra) is the one people avoid. | Naga until 5:31 PM then Kimstughna until 5:18 AM (18 Feb) then Bava |
Moon sign (Rasi)?The zodiac sign (rasi) the Moon is in right now. It moves on every 2¼ days. | Makara (Capricorn) until 9:05 AM then Kumbha (Aquarius) |
| Sun sign | Kumbha (Aquarius) |
| Lunar month (amanta) | Magha, 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. | Mithuna (Gemini) until 9:05 AM then Kataka (Cancer) |

About today’s panchangam for Samba
In Samba on Tuesday, 17 February 2026, the sun rises at 7:10 AM and sets at 6:17 PM. Rahu Kalam runs 3:30 PM – 4:53 PM, Yamagandam 9:57 AM – 11:20 AM and Gulikai Kalam 12:43 PM – 2:07 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 Amavasya tithi and Dhanishta (Avittam) nakshatra. The Tamil date is Maasi 5, Visuvavasu year.
