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: Chaturthiचतुर्थीtill 23:15then Panchamiपञ्चमीtill 46:54
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: Purva Bhadrapadaपूर्वभाद्रपदाtill 21:37then Uttara Bhadrapadaउत्तरभाद्रपदाtill 46:00
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: Atigandaअतिगण्डtill 22:29then Sukarmaसुकर्माtill 45:13
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 11:15then Balavaबालवtill 23:15chain: Bava (11:15) → Balava (23:15) → Kaulava (35:08)
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: Ravivaraरविवार
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 (Amanta): Shravanaश्रावणPravishte/Gate: 18
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)
Maasa (Purnimanta): Bhadrapadaभाद्रपद
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: Kumbhaकुम्भtill 15:27then Meenaमीन
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: Karkaकर्क

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).

How we compute this panchang

Every time on this page is calculated from the actual positions of the Sun and Moon using the Swiss Ephemeris (the same high-precision astronomical engine used by professional astronomers), not from a printed almanac or a fixed table.

Sidereal zodiac, Lahiri ayanamsha — the standard used by the Indian government calendar (ayanamsha for this date: 24.2285°). All nakshatra, rashi, tithi and yoga boundaries follow from it.
Local true sunrise — muhurta windows (Rahu Kaal, Choghadiya, Hora, Abhijit and the rest) are measured from the true sunrise computed for Faridabad's exact coordinates, so they are correct for your location, not a regional approximation.
Two month conventions — we show both the Amanta (new-moon-to-new-moon) and Purnimanta (full-moon-to-full-moon) lunar month, because different regions of India follow different ones; an Adhika (intercalary) month is marked when it occurs.

Significance and auspicious/inauspicious flags are drawn from classical texts (Muhurta Chintamani, Brihat Samhita, the Puranas and others) and cited inline — we never assert an effect a text does not state.

Choghadiya - Faridabad, 2 August 2026

On Sunday, the 2nd of August 2026, the Vedic calendar in Faridabad carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Sunrise arrives at 5:44 AM and dipping below the horizon at 7:09 PM, bringing 13 hours 26 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Chaturthi of the Krishna fortnight, and the nakshatra of the day is Purva Bhadrapada. The day carries the Atiganda yoga, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-08-02. Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn meditation window, runs from 4:08 AM to 4:56 AM.

In Faridabad, Rahu Kala runs from 5:28 PM to 7:09 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. The inauspicious direction (Disha Shool) for Sunday is West; new ventures toward the West are traditionally deferred. On the auspicious side, Labh choghadiya, running 9:05 AM to 10:46 AM, stands out as the best muhurta. Purva Bhadrapada nakshatra is under the lordship of Jupiter, bringing the ancient panchang frame into direct contact with Faridabad's horizon.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rahu Kaal in Faridabad on 2 August 2026?

In Faridabad on 2 August 2026, Rahu Kaal runs from 5:28 PM to 7:09 PM. This 90-minute window is governed by Rahu and is traditionally avoided for starting new work, travel, or auspicious ceremonies. The timing shifts daily based on local sunrise, so it differs from city to city.

Why is sunrise in Faridabad on 2 August 2026 at 5:44 AM?

Sunrise at 5:44 AM in Faridabad on 2 August 2026 is determined by the city's geographic latitude (28.41°N) and the Earth's axial tilt on this date. The exact sunrise and sunset (7:09 PM) define the length of the Vedic day and anchor all panchang calculations — from Rahu Kaal to the choghadiya slots — to Faridabad's local horizon.

What yoga is operative in Faridabad on 2 August 2026?

The yoga operative in Faridabad on 2 August 2026 is Atiganda, active from 11:23 PM to 10:29 PM local time. In the Vedic panchang, yoga is calculated from the combined longitudes of the Sun and Moon and cycles through 27 named yogas. Atiganda yoga carries its own quality and influences the day's overall character — affecting the auspiciousness of activities begun during its span.
