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.

9:19 AM – 10:41 AM
Yamagandam

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

1:26 PM – 2:48 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.

6:34 AM – 7:56 AM

Auspicious times

Abhijit Muhurtham

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

11:42 AM – 12:26 PM
Brahma Muhurtham

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

4:50 AM – 5:42 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.

Nalla Neram – Gowri Panchangam

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 Thembisa

In Thembisa on Saturday, 8 May 2027, the sun rises at 6:34 AM and sets at 5:33 PM. Rahu Kalam runs 9:19 AM – 10:41 AM, Yamagandam 1:26 PM – 2:48 PM and Gulikai Kalam 6:34 AM – 7:56 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 Shukla Dwitiya tithi and Rohini nakshatra. The Tamil date is Chithirai 25, Plavanga year.
