प्रश्न · Frequently Asked
What is Rahu Kaal today in Vijayawada?
Rahu Kaal is an inauspicious period each day, calculated from sunrise/sunset and the day of the week — new undertakings are traditionally avoided during it. The exact window for today is shown in the Panchang above.
What is today's Tithi?
Tithi is the lunar day, based on the 12-degree angular distance between the Sun and Moon — a lunar month has 30 Tithis. Today's Tithi is shown in the Panchang section above.
What is Choghadiya?
Choghadiya divides the day and night into 8 slots each. Each slot has a quality — Amrit, Shubh, Labh (auspicious); Char (neutral); Rog, Udveg, Kaal (inauspicious). Start important work during an auspicious Choghadiya slot.
What is Abhijit Muhurta?
Abhijit Muhurta is an auspicious midday window (around local noon) that neutralizes most doshas and is considered suitable for nearly any auspicious activity.
What is a Nakshatra?
A Nakshatra is one of 27 lunar mansions the Moon transits through each day. It influences mood, decisions and compatibility. Each Nakshatra spans 13°20' of the zodiac.
When is Ekadashi?
Ekadashi falls on the 11th Tithi of each lunar fortnight — both Shukla (waxing) and Krishna (waning) paksha. It is a fasting day dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The exact date is shown in the Panchang above.
What are Yamaganda and Gulika Kaal?
Yamaganda and Gulika Kaal are inauspicious time windows each day, similar to Rahu Kaal. New ventures, contracts and auspicious ceremonies should be avoided during these periods.
