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. | 8:47 AM – 10:21 AM |
|---|---|
Yamagandam?Another avoid-window. Tradition says things begun now don’t finish well, so big starts and journeys wait. | 1:30 PM – 3:04 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. | 5:38 AM – 7:13 AM |
Auspicious times
Abhijit Muhurtham?The midday power slot around local noon — considered good for almost anything. Not used on Wednesdays. | 11:30 AM – 12:21 PM |
|---|---|
Brahma Muhurtham?The calm window before dawn, prized for study, meditation and yoga. | 4:07 AM – 4:53 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. | 7:13 AM – 8:47 AM Uthi10:21 AM – 11:56 AM Amirdha1:30 PM – 3:04 PM Laabam3:04 PM – 4:38 PM Dhanam4:38 PM – 6:13 PM SugamGowri Panchangam → |
Five limbs of the day
| Day | Saturday |
|---|---|
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 5:49 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. | Hasta (Hastham) until 6:12 PM then Chitra (Chithirai) |
Yoga?One of 27 combinations of the Sun’s and Moon’s positions, each with its own flavour for the day. | Indra until 6:32 PM then Vaidhriti |
Karana?Half a tithi. Eleven kinds cycle through the month; Vishti (Bhadra) is the one people avoid. | Chatushpada until 5:54 AM then Naga until 5:49 PM then Kimstughna |
Moon sign (Rasi)?The zodiac sign (rasi) the Moon is in right now. It moves on every 2¼ days. | Kanya (Virgo) all day |
| Sun sign | Kanya (Virgo) |
| Lunar month (amanta) | Bhadrapada, 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. | Kumbha (Aquarius) all day |

About today’s panchangam for Soweto
In Soweto on Saturday, 10 October 2026, the sun rises at 5:38 AM and sets at 6:13 PM. Rahu Kalam runs 8:47 AM – 10:21 AM, Yamagandam 1:30 PM – 3:04 PM and Gulikai Kalam 5:38 AM – 7:13 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 Amavasya tithi and Hasta (Hastham) nakshatra. The Tamil date is Purattasi 24, Parabhava year.
