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: Shashthiषष्ठीtill 22:03then Saptamiसप्तमीtill 44:42
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: Revatiरेवतीtill 21:54then Ashwiniअश्विनीtill 45:18
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: Dhritiधृतिtill 19:33then Shulaशूलtill 41:29
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: Garajaगरजtill 10:33then Vanijaवणिजtill 22:03chain: Garaja (10:33) → Vanija (22:03) → Vishti (33:26)
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: Mangalavaraमङ्गलवार
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: 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 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: Meenaमीनtill 21:54then Meshaमेष
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 Bengaluru'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.

Yamaganda Kala - Bengaluru, 4 August 2026

On Tuesday, 4 August 2026, the Vedic calendar across Bengaluru carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 6:06 AM in Bengaluru and dipping below the horizon at 6:44 PM, bringing 12 hours 38 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Shashthi of Krishna Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Revati. The reigning yoga is Dhriti, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-08-04. The Brahma Muhurta window for Bengaluru spans 4:30 AM to 5:18 AM — the hour the classics name as most favourable for study and sadhana.

Across Bengaluru, The Rahu Kala window falls between 3:35 PM and 5:09 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours.
