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. | 12:28 PM – 1:44 PM |
|---|---|
Yamagandam?Another avoid-window. Tradition says things begun now don’t finish well, so big starts and journeys wait. | 8:43 AM – 9:58 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. | 11:13 AM – 12:28 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. | 5:36 AM – 6:32 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. | 7:28 AM – 8:43 AM Laabam8:43 AM – 9:58 AM Dhanam9:58 AM – 11:13 AM Sugam1:44 PM – 2:59 PM Uthi2:59 PM – 4:14 PM AmirdhaGowri Panchangam → |
Five limbs of the day
| Day | Wednesday |
|---|---|
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 10:47 AM then Pournami until 6:58 AM (24 Dec) then Krishna Prathama |
Nakshatra?The star-zone the Moon is passing through. There are 27; the one at your birth is your birth star. | Rohini until 7:56 AM then Mrigashira (Mirugasirisham) until 4:53 AM (24 Dec) then Ardra (Thiruvathirai) |
Yoga?One of 27 combinations of the Sun’s and Moon’s positions, each with its own flavour for the day. | Shubha until 5:15 PM then Shukla |
Karana?Half a tithi. Eleven kinds cycle through the month; Vishti (Bhadra) is the one people avoid. | Vanija until 10:47 AM then Vishti (Bhadra) until 8:53 PM then Bava until 6:58 AM (24 Dec) then Balava |
Moon sign (Rasi)?The zodiac sign (rasi) the Moon is in right now. It moves on every 2¼ days. | Rishabha (Taurus) until 6:26 PM then Mithuna (Gemini) |
| Sun sign | Dhanus (Sagittarius) |
| Lunar month (amanta) | Margashirsha, Shukla Paksha |

About today’s panchangam for Samba
In Samba on Wednesday, 23 December 2026, the sun rises at 7:28 AM and sets at 5:29 PM. Rahu Kalam runs 12:28 PM – 1:44 PM, Yamagandam 8:43 AM – 9:58 AM and Gulikai Kalam 11:13 AM – 12:28 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 8, Parabhava year.
