Disha Shool is the weekday-keyed inauspicious travel direction in the Vedic almanac. Each weekday has one direction the muhurta tradition flags as inauspicious to set out toward. This tool surfaces today's direction for any city, the underlying classical citation, and the remedies if you must travel that way.
Pick a city and date to view the canonical page with the full panchang cluster, sibling links, and Devanagari section.
If unavoidable, the classical remedy is to take seven steps in the inauspicious direction at home before setting out, breaking the shool symbolically.
Disha Shool is the inauspicious travel direction for each weekday in the Vedic almanac. For every day of the week, the muhurta tradition marks one direction as unfavourable to set out toward.
It depends on the weekday: Monday — East, Tuesday — North, Wednesday — North, Thursday — South, Friday — West, Saturday — East, Sunday — West. This tool shows today's direction based on your date and city.
The classical remedy is to take seven steps in that direction inside your home before setting out — this symbolically breaks the shool. The tool shows the remedy alongside today's direction.
Yes. Disha Shool is set by the weekday, not by location, so the unfavourable direction for any given weekday is the same worldwide — only which weekday it is depends on your date.
The direction rules and the remedy come from the classical muhurta texts — the travel section of Muhurta Chintamani, and Nirnaya Sindhu.
