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. | 10:09 AM – 11:41 AM |
|---|---|
Yamagandam?Another avoid-window. Tradition says things begun now don’t finish well, so big starts and journeys wait. | 2:46 PM – 4:19 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. | 7:03 AM – 8:36 AM |
Auspicious times
Abhijit Muhurtham?The midday power slot around local noon — considered good for almost anything. Not used on Wednesdays. | 12:49 PM – 1:39 PM |
|---|---|
Brahma Muhurtham?The calm window before dawn, prized for study, meditation and yoga. | 5:30 AM – 6:17 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. | 8:36 AM – 10:09 AM Uthi11:41 AM – 1:14 PM Amirdha2:46 PM – 4:19 PM Laabam4:19 PM – 5:52 PM Dhanam5:52 PM – 7:24 PM SugamGowri Panchangam → |
Five limbs of the day
| Day | Saturday |

Yoga?One of 27 combinations of the Sun’s and Moon’s positions, each with its own flavour for the day. | Saubhagya until 12:55 PM then Shobhana |

Moon sign (Rasi)?The zodiac sign (rasi) the Moon is in right now. It moves on every 2¼ days. | Mesha (Aries) until 1:16 AM (17 May) then Rishabha (Taurus) |
| Sun sign | Rishabha (Taurus) |

About today’s panchangam for Simpang Empat
In Simpang Empat on Saturday, 16 May 2026, the sun rises at 7:03 AM and sets at 7:24 PM. Rahu Kalam runs 10:09 AM – 11:41 AM, Yamagandam 2:46 PM – 4:19 PM and Gulikai Kalam 7:03 AM – 8:36 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 Krishna Chaturdasi tithi and Bharani nakshatra. The Tamil date is Vaikasi 2, Parabhava year.
