Twilight muhurta around sunset

The 24-minute “cow-dust” window centred on sunset.

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: Pratipadaप्रतिपदाtill 21:30then Dwitiyaद्वितीयाtill 46:32
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: Shravanaश्रवणtill 17:43then Dhanishthaधनिष्ठाtill 43:27
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: Ayushmanआयुष्मान्till 24:05then Saubhagyaसौभाग्यtill 47:54
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: Balavaबालवtill 08:51then Kaulavaकौलवtill 21:30chain: Balava (08:51) → Kaulava (21:30) → Taitila (34:04)
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: Guruvaraगुरुवार
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: 15
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: Makaraमकरtill 30:38then Kumbhaकुम्भ
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: 24.2283°). 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 Rajkot'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 - Rajkot, 30 July 2026

On Thursday, 30 July 2026, the Vedic calendar across Rajkot carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 6:18 AM in Rajkot and dipping below the horizon at 7:27 PM, bringing 13 hours 9 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Pratipada of Krishna Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Shravana. The reigning yoga is Ayushman, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-07-30. The Brahma Muhurta window for Rajkot spans 4:42 AM to 5:30 AM — the hour the classics name as most favourable for study and sadhana.

Across Rajkot, The Rahu Kala window falls between 2:31 PM and 4:10 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. Disha Shool today points South — the direction to avoid for new travel on Thursday per classical muhurta convention. On the auspicious side, the first favourable choghadiya is Shubh (6:18 AM–7:57 AM). Shravana nakshatra is with Moon as its ruling planet, making this a day shaped by both celestial timing and local geography.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rahu Kaal in Rajkot on 30 July 2026?

In Rajkot on 30 July 2026, Rahu Kaal runs from 2:31 PM to 4:10 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 Rajkot on 30 July 2026 at 6:18 AM?

Sunrise at 6:18 AM in Rajkot on 30 July 2026 is determined by the city's geographic latitude (22.30°N) and the Earth's axial tilt on this date. The exact sunrise and sunset (7:27 PM) define the length of the Vedic day and anchor all panchang calculations — from Rahu Kaal to the choghadiya slots — to Rajkot's local horizon.

What yoga is operative in Rajkot on 30 July 2026?

The yoga operative in Rajkot on 30 July 2026 is Ayushman, active from 11:57 PM to 12:05 AM local time. In the Vedic panchang, yoga is calculated from the combined longitudes of the Sun and Moon and cycles through 27 named yogas. Ayushman yoga carries its own quality and influences the day's overall character — affecting the auspiciousness of activities begun during its span.
