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.

5:57 PM – 7:29 PM
Yamagandam

Another avoid-window. Tradition says things begun now don’t finish well, so big starts and journeys wait.

1:21 PM – 2:53 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.

4:25 PM – 5:57 PM

Auspicious times

Abhijit Muhurtham

The midday power slot around local noon — considered good for almost anything. Not used on Wednesdays.

12:56 PM – 1:45 PM
Brahma Muhurtham

The calm window before dawn, prized for study, meditation and yoga.

5:39 AM – 6:26 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.

About today’s panchangam for Simpang Empat

In Simpang Empat on Sunday, 20 August 2028, the sun rises at 7:13 AM and sets at 7:29 PM. Rahu Kalam runs 5:57 PM – 7:29 PM, Yamagandam 1:21 PM – 2:53 PM and Gulikai Kalam 4:25 PM – 5:57 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 Ashlesha (Ayilyam) nakshatra. The Tamil date is Aavani 4, Keelaka year.
