What is a Tithi?▾
A Tithi is a lunar day in the Hindu calendar. There are 30 tithis in a lunar month — 15 in the bright fortnight (Shukla Paksha) and 15 in the dark fortnight (Krishna Paksha). Today's Tithi is Ashtami (Shukla Paksha, day 8).
What is Rahu Kaal and should I avoid it?▾
Rahu Kaal is an approximately 90-minute inauspicious period each day governed by Rahu. Today it runs from 13:58 to 15:36 IST. Starting new ventures, making important decisions, or travelling during this window is traditionally avoided.
What is Abhijit Muhurta?▾
Abhijit Muhurta is the most auspicious time window of the day — roughly 24 minutes centred around solar noon. Today it falls between 11:56 and 12:44 IST. It overrides most inauspicious yogas and is ideal when no other favourable muhurta is available.
What is a Nakshatra?▾
A Nakshatra is one of 27 lunar mansions — star clusters the Moon transits through. Each spans 13°20′ of the zodiac. Today's Nakshatra is Magha. The Nakshatra influences auspiciousness for travel, ceremonies, and starting new activities.
