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. | 7:33 AM – 9:11 AM |
|---|---|
Yamagandam?Another avoid-window. Tradition says things begun now don’t finish well, so big starts and journeys wait. | 10:50 AM – 12:28 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. | 2:07 PM – 3:46 PM |
Auspicious times
Abhijit Muhurtham?The midday power slot around local noon — considered good for almost anything. Not used on Wednesdays. | 12:02 PM – 12:55 PM |
|---|---|
Brahma Muhurtham?The calm window before dawn, prized for study, meditation and yoga. | 4:27 AM – 5:11 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. | 5:54 AM – 7:33 AM Amirdha10:50 AM – 12:28 PM Laabam12:28 PM – 2:07 PM Dhanam2:07 PM – 3:46 PM Sugam5:24 PM – 7:03 PM UthiGowri Panchangam → |
Five limbs of the day
| Day | Monday |
|---|---|
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 Tritiya until 7:27 AM then Shukla Chaturthi until 4:15 AM (21 Apr) then Shukla Panchami |
Nakshatra?The star-zone the Moon is passing through. There are 27; the one at your birth is your birth star. | Rohini until 2:08 AM (21 Apr) then Mrigashira (Mirugasirisham) |
Yoga?One of 27 combinations of the Sun’s and Moon’s positions, each with its own flavour for the day. | Saubhagya until 4:11 PM then Shobhana |
Karana?Half a tithi. Eleven kinds cycle through the month; Vishti (Bhadra) is the one people avoid. | Gara until 7:27 AM then Vanija until 5:49 PM then Vishti (Bhadra) until 4:15 AM (21 Apr) then Bava |
Moon sign (Rasi)?The zodiac sign (rasi) the Moon is in right now. It moves on every 2¼ days. | Rishabha (Taurus) 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. | Thula (Libra) all day |

About today’s panchangam for Samba
In Samba on Monday, 20 April 2026, the sun rises at 5:54 AM and sets at 7:03 PM. Rahu Kalam runs 7:33 AM – 9:11 AM, Yamagandam 10:50 AM – 12:28 PM and Gulikai Kalam 2:07 PM – 3:46 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 Tritiya tithi and Rohini nakshatra. The Tamil date is Chithirai 7, Parabhava year.
