Samvatsara and month

Vijaya (No. 27, “victory”) — A year of victory: success, the upper hand over opponents, plans fulfilled. more

Northern samvatsara: Krodhi. Shaka Samvat 1815, Vikram Samvat 1950, Kali Yuga 4994.

Jyeshtha (Shukra) — The hottest month, a time to honour water and the Ganga: Ganga Dussehra, Nirjala Ekadashi, Vat Purnima. more

Adhika Ashadha (Shuchi) — Onset of the rainy season: Ratha Yatra, Devshayani Ekadashi and the start of Chaturmasya, Guru Purnima. more

Adhika Masa (intercalary month, also called Purushottama Masa or Mala Masa) — a lunar month during which the Sun does not pass into a new sign; it takes the name of the following month with the prefix “Adhika”, and the month after it is called “Nija” (true). In an Adhika month the annual festivals are not observed (they move to the Nija month; the exception is Ganga Dussehra, which in a year with Adhika Jyeshtha is celebrated in the intercalary month), weddings are not held, upanayana, housewarming and the laying of a house foundation are not performed, and no major undertakings are begun. Monthly observances — Ekadashis (Padmini and Parama), Pradosha, Purnima, Amavasya, Shivaratri — are kept as usual, and the month itself is dedicated to Purushottama (Vishnu) and is especially good for japa, reading sacred texts, fasting and dana.

Amanta — reckoning lunar months from new moon to new moon (South and West India; this calendar shows months this way). Purnimanta — reckoning from full moon to full moon (North India): the bright half of the month (Shukla Paksha) bears the same name in both systems, while the dark half (Krishna Paksha) in purnimanta already belongs to the next month. So, for example, Krishna Janmashtami is “Shravana, Krishna 8” in amanta and “Bhadrapada, Krishna 8” in purnimanta: it is one and the same day.

Times are standard time UTC+3 (from the site settings, without daylight saving time) · panchanga at sunrise (upper limb of the Sun’s disc, with refraction) · ayanamsa Lahiri · place 55°45′ N 37°35′ E · festival dates are calculated for this location by the rules of kala vyapti · times of Sankranti are accurate to within a few minutes

Haircut and shaving

Windows are the best daytime hours according to the site’s summary rating, excluding the times of the day’s prohibitions (see below).

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Mula — ruin of the family; Thursday — success.

Cautions:

Krishna Paksha: according to the Kalaprakashika, a haircut during the waning Moon affects life (longevity) and fortune, but the first five tithis of Krishna Paksha are favourable; hair grows thicker if cut during the waxing Moon (M. V. Ramakrishnan, as quoted by B. V. Raman).

Cutting hair, shaving	average throughout the daytime
Cutting fingernails, cutting toenails	average throughout the daytime
Bathing, washing hair	average throughout the daytime

Haircut factors: weekday Sunday; nakshatra Uttara-Ashadha until 04:20, Shravana from 04:20; tithi Krishna-panchami; lagna Vrishabha 03:50, Mithuna 04:29, Karka 06:52, Simha 09:50, Kanya 12:51, Tula 15:51, Vrischika 18:53

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Uttara-Ashadha (until 04:20) — improved health; Shravana (from 04:20) — bodily development (physical growth); Sunday — physical well-being.

Cautions:

Krishna Paksha: according to the Kalaprakashika, a haircut during the waning Moon affects life (longevity) and fortune, but the first five tithis of Krishna Paksha are favourable; hair grows thicker if cut during the waxing Moon (M. V. Ramakrishnan, as quoted by B. V. Raman).

Cutting fingernails, cutting toenails	no suitable window — see the prohibitions below
Bathing, washing hair	average throughout the daytime

Haircut factors: weekday Thursday; nakshatra Purva-Bhadra until 08:26, Uttara-Bhadra from 08:26; tithi Krishna-ashtami until 04:22, Krishna-navami from 04:22; lagna Vrishabha 03:47, Mithuna 04:13, Karka 06:37, Simha 09:34, Kanya 12:35, Tula 15:35, Vrischika 18:37

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Purva-Bhadra (until 08:26) — facing death (dangers); Uttara-Bhadra (from 08:26) — a good life; Thursday — success.

Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:

Krishna-ashtami 03:47–04:22: a Parva tithi — haircuts and shaving are postponed (according to the Muhurta Chintamani).
Krishna-navami 04:22–21:10: a Rikta tithi — haircuts and shaving are not advised (according to the Muhurta Chintamani and the Kalaprakashika).

Cautions:

Krishna Paksha: according to the Kalaprakashika, a haircut during the waning Moon affects life (longevity) and fortune, but the first five tithis of Krishna Paksha are favourable; hair grows thicker if cut during the waxing Moon (M. V. Ramakrishnan, as quoted by B. V. Raman).

Friday: B. V. Raman advises against cutting nails (the rating above is the site’s summary, which uses the same weekdays for nails as for haircuts, so Friday counts as auspicious).

Krishna Paksha: according to the Kalaprakashika, a haircut during the waning Moon affects life (longevity) and fortune, but the first five tithis of Krishna Paksha are favourable; hair grows thicker if cut during the waxing Moon (M. V. Ramakrishnan, as quoted by B. V. Raman).
Monday: according to the Kalaprakashika, it is good for a haircut only during the waxing Moon.

Haircut factors: weekday Friday; nakshatra Purva-Ashadha until 07:55, Uttara-Ashadha from 07:55; tithi Krishna-pratipat until 11:12, Krishna-dvitya from 11:12; lagna Mithuna 03:48, Karka 05:10, Simha 08:08, Kanya 11:09, Tula 14:09, Vrischika 17:10, Dhanu 19:56

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Purva-Ashadha (until 07:55) — ruin of the family; Uttara-Ashadha (from 07:55) — improved health; Friday — universal respect.

Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:

Vaidhriti 14:51–21:17: auspicious undertakings, including haircuts, are avoided during this yoga (according to the Muhurta Chintamani).

Cautions:

Krishna Paksha: according to the Kalaprakashika, a haircut during the waning Moon affects life (longevity) and fortune, but the first five tithis of Krishna Paksha are favourable; hair grows thicker if cut during the waxing Moon (M. V. Ramakrishnan, as quoted by B. V. Raman).
Friday: B. V. Raman advises against cutting nails (the rating above is the site’s summary, which uses the same weekdays for nails as for haircuts, so Friday counts as auspicious).

Jyeshtha (Vedic name Shukra) — The hottest month, a time to honour water and the Ganga: Ganga Dussehra, Nirjala Ekadashi, Vat Purnima.
Patron: Trivikrama; Aditya — Mitra. Full moon in nakshatra Jyeshtha. Ritu: Grishma.

Amanta and purnimanta
Amanta — reckoning lunar months from new moon to new moon (South and West India; this calendar shows months this way). Purnimanta — reckoning from full moon to full moon (North India): the bright half of the month (Shukla Paksha) bears the same name in both systems, while the dark half (Krishna Paksha) in purnimanta already belongs to the next month. So, for example, Krishna Janmashtami is “Shravana, Krishna 8” in amanta and “Bhadrapada, Krishna 8” in purnimanta: it is one and the same day.

Vijaya (No. 27 of 60, “victory”) — A year of victory: success, the upper hand over opponents, plans fulfilled.
Northern samvatsara: Krodhi (No. 38)
Shaka Samvat 1815 · Vikram Samvat 1950 · Kali Yuga 4994
Next year — Jaya, from the new moon before Ugadi (the start of Chaitra) 6.04.1894
In South India (Shaka Samvat, lunar reckoning) the years of the 60-year cycle follow one another without a break, and the name of the year changes at Ugadi — at the start of Chaitra, on the first tithi of the bright half.

Vimshottari lord: Ketu
Shakti: destroy, crush (also the ability to destroy destruction)

Sadhya (22) — “attainable, amenable”
Auspicious (in some traditions — especially auspicious): study, practice, mastering new things — anything achieved through effort.
A nitya yoga is one of the 27 segments of the sum of the sidereal longitudes of the Sun and the Moon (each spanning 13 degrees 20 minutes of arc).

The time of Jupiter's action is considered the most favorable for all worldly and spiritual affairs not related to coercion or anger. You can begin spiritual practices, good deeds, study of philosophy, Doctrine, various sciences.

Dawn
Start of morning civil twilight: the Sun is 6° below the horizon and the sky grows light.

Sunrise
Appearance of the upper limb of the solar disc, with refraction. The Vedic day and the vara begin at sunrise.

Gardener’s calendar
Garden tasks are rated as in the site’s “Lunar calendar for gardeners” section: the weekday, nakshatra and tithi are taken into account; starting from a base score of 3, each factor adds one point if favourable or subtracts one if unfavourable; total score 0–6: 0–2 — bad, 3–4 — average, 5–6 — good. The table shows the rating at sunrise and after each change of nakshatra or tithi during the daytime (“from HH:MM”); the icons next to the sunrise rating show the contribution of the weekday, nakshatra and tithi at sunrise: “+” (green) adds one point, “0” (yellow) has no effect, “–” (red) subtracts one.

The ratings are the site author’s summary of the Indian and Tibetan traditions. Classical texts on agriculture: the Kalaprakashika (ch. XIX–XX, English translation by N. P. Subramania Iyer, 1917), B. V. Raman’s Muhurtha (ch. XIII), the Brihat Samhita of Varahamihira (ch. 55).

Thursday — Day of Jupiter
what to do (Tibetan tradition): sowing, planting flowers and trees
plants of the day: plants with large sweet fruits, or with fleshy (voluminous) stems and leaves

nakshatra Mula
For pruning and uprooting; plowing and watering are allowed, but nothing else.

Krishna-dvitya
planting and sowing are allowed (long-term result)

Anandadi: Prajapati — “lord of creatures”
One of the 28 yogas formed jointly by the weekday and the Moon’s nakshatra (counting Abhijit): from the starting nakshatra of the day (Sun — Ashwini, Mon — Mrigashirsha, Tue — Ashlesha, Wed — Hasta, Thu — Anuradha, Fri — Uttara Ashadha, Sat — Shatabhisha) the cycle runs Ananda, Kaladanda, Dhumra and so on. Auspicious yogas support the day’s affairs; inauspicious ones (especially Utpata, Mrityu and Kana) weaken them.

Anandadi: Dhumra — “smoke”
One of the 28 yogas formed jointly by the weekday and the Moon’s nakshatra (counting Abhijit): from the starting nakshatra of the day (Sun — Ashwini, Mon — Mrigashirsha, Tue — Ashlesha, Wed — Hasta, Thu — Anuradha, Fri — Uttara Ashadha, Sat — Shatabhisha) the cycle runs Ananda, Kaladanda, Dhumra and so on. Auspicious yogas support the day’s affairs; inauspicious ones (especially Utpata, Mrityu and Kana) weaken them.

Gandamula
The Moon in Ashwini, Ashlesha, Magha, Jyeshtha, Mula or Revati — the nakshatras at the junctions of signs. For those born in them, tradition prescribes a pacifying rite; new undertakings call for caution.

Brahma Muhurta
The penultimate, 14th muhurta of the night: it begins about an hour and a half before sunrise and lasts about 48 minutes. The best time for meditation, prayer, japa and study.

Abhijit Muhurta
The 8th of the 15 daytime muhurtas, around true noon (about 48 minutes). The “invincible” time, suitable for almost any new undertaking — except on Wednesdays.

Vijaya Muhurta
The 11th daytime muhurta, the “time of victory”: good for journeys, contests and decisive action; the main time of Vijayadashami.

Godhuli
“Dust from the hooves” — about 24 minutes right after sunset, when the cows return from pasture. An auspicious time for weddings and evening rites.

Pradosha
The first fifth of the night after sunset (three night muhurtas, about 2.5 hours). The time for worshipping Shiva, lighting the Diwali diyas and performing Holika Dahan.

Nishitha
Midnight — the 8th muhurta of the night. The decisive time for Maha Shivaratri, Krishna Janmashtami and Kali Puja.

Amrita Kalam
“Time of nectar” — about an hour and a half within each nakshatra, favourable for any new undertaking and mitigating inauspicious factors.

Rahu Kalam
One-eighth of the daytime ruled by Rahu (a different segment for each weekday). No new work, journeys or deals are started; whatever was begun earlier may be continued.

How it is calculated: following the South Indian tradition (Tamil Nadu, Kerala), as Drik Panchang does — the daytime from sunrise to sunset (upper limb of the disc, with refraction) is divided into 8 parts, and Rahu Kalam is part 6 (Mon 2, Sat 3, Fri 4, Wed 5, Thu 6, Tue 7, Sun 8).
Another tradition — Kala Vela: the eighth parts of the daytime belong to the planets in weekday order starting from the lord of the day, while the eighth part, the last before sunset, is “empty”, without a lord; in this tradition it is given to Rahu — today {y} (on Sundays it coincides with the calculation above).
Yet another tradition — printed panchangas: a nominal day of 6:00–18:00, so Rahu Kalam always falls at the same clock time — today 13:30–15:00; if the nominal 6:00–18:00 day is counted in local mean time — 13:59–15:29 by the clock. Far from India this is a rough approximation.
Using the rising and setting of the centre of the disc without refraction (old Siddhantic panchangas): {x}.
At night Rahu Kalam is usually not reckoned (the translator of the Kalaprakashika, 1917: “it occurs only in the daytime”); a few divide the night into 8 parts as well, but there is no generally accepted order of the night parts. In North India, Choghadiya is more often consulted to choose the hour.

Yamaganda
One-eighth of the daytime associated with Yama: unfavourable for new undertakings and journeys.

How it is calculated: the eighths of the daytime belong to the planets in weekday order, starting from the lord of the day; Yamaganda (Yamaghantaka) is Jupiter’s portion, today part 1. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 06:00–07:30.

Gulika Kalam
One-eighth of the daytime ruled by Gulika (the son of Saturn). Whatever is begun at this time tends to repeat, so funerals are not held and loans are not taken during Gulika; important new undertakings are usually avoided.

How it is calculated: Saturn’s portion among the eighths of the daytime (planets in weekday order, starting from the lord of the day), today part 3. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 09:00–10:30. According to a note by the translator of the Kalaprakashika, Gulika is not considered inauspicious: it is even good for reaping, gathering grain, trade, medical treatment, repaying debts and a number of other activities; the view that whatever is begun during Gulika will repeat itself is a popular (mainly Tamil) belief.

Dur Muhurta
An inauspicious muhurta (about 48 minutes) — one or two per day, specific to each weekday. It is avoided for new undertakings, journeys and deals.

Varjyam
“Rejected” time — about an hour and a half within each nakshatra (4 ghatis of 60, starting from a ghati specific to that nakshatra). Unfavourable for new undertakings.

Cutting fingernails
B. V. Raman: nails are not cut on Friday or Saturday, on Ashtami, Navami or Chaturdashi, or on new moon and full moon days.

Cutting toenails
B. V. Raman: nails are not cut on Friday or Saturday, on Ashtami, Navami or Chaturdashi, or on new moon and full moon days.

Auspicious activities are not begun during Bhadra; its strength depends on where it resides: on earth it is most harmful, while in heaven or in the netherworld the harm is mitigated (according to a verse of the Muhurta Chintamani, there it even portends good fortune and gain).

The Moon in Kanya, Tula, Dhanu or Makara: Bhadra is in patala (the netherworld) — its influence on earth is weak; according to a verse of the Muhurta Chintamani, it even portends gain.

At night Rahu Kalam is usually not reckoned (the translator of the Kalaprakashika, 1917: “it occurs only in the daytime”); a few divide the night into 8 parts as well, but there is no generally accepted order of the night parts. In North India, Choghadiya is more often consulted to choose the hour.
