गोधूलि मुहूर्त

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 12:40then Panchamiपञ्चमीtill 37:31
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 ChintamaniTithi-prakaranam (Nanda/Bhadra/Jaya/Rikta/Purna tithi-types)
Nakshatra
Dhanishthaधनिष्ठाtill 13:44then Shatabhishaशतभिषाtill 39:12
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 SamhitaNakshatra chapters (nakshatra qualities)
Yoga
Pritiप्रीतिtill 17:01then Ayushmanआयुष्मान्till 40:40
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.

Balavaबालवtill 12:40then Kaulavaकौलवtill 25:09chain: Balava (12:40)Kaulava (25:09)Taitila (37:31)
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.

BPHSKarana-jnana-vidhi (11 karanas including Vishti)
Vara
Shanivaraशनिवार
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 ChintamaniVara-prakaranam (weekday lords)
Maasa (Amanta)
AshadhaआषाढPravishte/Gate: 20
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 SindhuAdhikamasa-nirnaya (intercalary month)
Maasa (Purnimanta)

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 57:57then 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 Chintamani2.4-2.5 (Chandrabala)
Surya Rashi
Mithunaमिथुन

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: 24.2273°). 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 Aurangabad (Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar)'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.

Godhuli Muhurta - Aurangabad (Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar), 4 July 2026

On Saturday, 4 July 2026, the Vedic calendar across Aurangabad (Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar) carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 5:55 AM in Aurangabad (Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar) and dipping below the horizon at 7:10 PM, bringing 13 hours 16 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Chaturthi of Krishna Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Dhanishtha. The reigning yoga is Priti, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-07-04.
