Abhijit Muhurta — Ranchi17 September 2025

Panchang — the five angas पञ्चाङ्ग

Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana and Vara with their end-times, plus the month and the Moon’s and Sun’s signs — computed for this city’s sunrise. Times after midnight use the traditional extended clock (e.g. 27:23 = 03:23 next morning).

Tithi

Ekadashiएकादशीtill 23:40

What this means▾

The lunar day. It is set by how far the Moon has pulled ahead of the Sun — each 12 degrees of separation is one tithi. The tithi shapes which activities the tradition favours, and it ends at the time shown, when the next one begins.

Muhurta Chintamani — Tithi-prakaranam (Nanda/Bhadra/Jaya/Rikta/Purna tithi-types)

Nakshatra

Punarvasuपुनर्वसुtill 06:26

What this means▾

The Moon's star-mansion — the patch of sky it sits in today, one of 27. Each nakshatra has its own temperament that classical texts use to judge what the day is good for.

Brihat Samhita — Nakshatra chapters (nakshatra qualities)

Yoga

Parighaपरिघtill 22:54

What this means▾

A combined Sun-and-Moon measure (one of 27 nitya-yogas) — not the physical posture practice. A few yogas, such as Vyatipata and Vaidhriti, are best avoided; most are ordinary.

Muhurta Chintamani — Yoga enumeration (tyajya-yoga list, v. 33)

Karana

Bavaबवtill 11:57

What this means▾

Half of a tithi — each lunar day holds two karanas. One of them, Vishti (also called Bhadra), is treated as inauspicious; the rest are workable.

BPHS — Karana-jnana-vidhi (11 karanas including Vishti)

Vara

Budhavaraबुधवार

What this means▾

The weekday and its ruling planet. Each day's planet colours which tasks the tradition recommends — e.g. Thursday (Jupiter) for auspicious beginnings.

Muhurta Chintamani — Vara-prakaranam (weekday lords)

Maasa

Ashwinaआश्विन

What this means▾

The lunar month. India uses two reckonings — Amanta (new-moon to new-moon) and Purnimanta (full-moon to full-moon) — so the name can differ by region. An 'Adhika' (extra) month is inserted to keep the lunar and solar years aligned.

Nirnaya Sindhu — Adhikamasa-nirnaya (intercalary month)

Paksha

Krishna (waning)कृष्ण पक्ष

What this means▾

The fortnight. Shukla is the waxing half (Moon growing toward full); Krishna is the waning half (toward the new moon).

Calendar definition

Chandra Rashi

Karka

What this means▾

The zodiac sign the Moon occupies now. Together with your birth Moon-sign it drives Chandrabala — the Moon's day-to-day favourability for you.

Muhurta Chintamani — 2.4-2.5 (Chandrabala)

Surya Rashi

Kanyaकन्या

Sidereal (Lahiri) ephemeris; anga end-times computed to the city’s actual sunrise. “Adhika maas” marks an intercalary lunar month (no solar sankranti within it).
