Samvatsara and month
Jaya (No. 28, “success, conquest”) — A year of success: income, acquisitions, affairs brought to a happy end. more
Northern samvatsara: Plavanga. Shaka Samvat 1936, Vikram Samvat 2071, Kali Yuga 5115.
Jyeshtha (Shukra) — The hottest month, a time to honour water and the Ganga: Ganga Dussehra, Nirjala Ekadashi, Vat Purnima. more
Ashadha (Shuchi) — Onset of the rainy season: Ratha Yatra, Devshayani Ekadashi and the start of Chaturmasya, Guru Purnima. more
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
Cutting hair, shaving: no suitable window — see the prohibitions below
Windows are the best daytime hours according to the site’s summary rating, excluding the times of the day’s prohibitions (see below).

|---|---|
| Cutting fingernails, cutting toenails | no suitable window — see the prohibitions below |
| Bathing, washing hair | average 03:45–12:25, 12:31–21:13 |
Haircut factors: weekday Thursday; nakshatra Anuradha until 12:25, Jyestha from 12:25; tithi Shukla-chaturdashi until 09:57, Purnima from 09:57; lagna Vrishabha 03:45, Mithuna 04:05, Karka 06:32, Simha 09:30, Kanya 12:31, Tula 15:31, Vrischika 18:32
Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Anuradha (until 12:25) — loss of money. In general Anuradha is favourable, but not for the very first shaving, cutting or trimming of hair (“vapanam”); Jyestha (from 12:25) — loss (reduction) of landed property (real estate); Thursday — success.
Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:
- Shukla-chaturdashi 03:45–09:57: a Rikta and Parva tithi — haircuts and shaving are postponed (according to the Muhurta Chintamani and the Kalaprakashika).
- Purnima 09:57–21:13: a Parva tithi — haircuts and shaving are postponed (according to the Muhurta Chintamani).
Cautions:
- The Muhurta Chintamani warns: whoever shaves in Anuradha nakshatra 3 times a year puts their life in danger — frequent haircuts in this nakshatra are best avoided.
- Jyeshtha: favourable for shaving according to the Muhurta Chintamani and B. V. Raman (the rating above follows the Kalaprakashika, where it is avoided).

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).
| Cutting hair, shaving | no suitable window — see the prohibitions below |
|---|---|
| Cutting fingernails, cutting toenails | no suitable window — see the prohibitions below |
| Bathing, washing hair | good 18:09–21:01 |
Haircut factors: weekday Monday; nakshatra Shravana; tithi Krishna-chaturti until 18:09, Krishna-panchami from 18:09; lagna Vrishabha 03:44, Mithuna 03:49, Karka 06:16, Simha 09:14, Kanya 12:15, Tula 15:15, Vrischika 18:17, Dhanu 21:01
Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Shravana — bodily development (physical growth); Monday — clear, bright complexion.
Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:
- Krishna-chaturti 03:44–18:09: a Rikta tithi — haircuts and shaving are not advised (according to the Muhurta Chintamani and the Kalaprakashika).
- Vaidhriti 12:02–21:16: 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).
- Monday: according to the Kalaprakashika, it is good for a haircut only during the waxing Moon.

Haircut and shaving
Cutting hair, shaving: no suitable window — see the prohibitions below
Windows are the best daytime hours according to the site’s summary rating, excluding the times of the day’s prohibitions (see below).
| Cutting hair, shaving | no suitable window — see the prohibitions below |
|---|---|
| Cutting fingernails, cutting toenails | no suitable window — see the prohibitions below |
| Bathing, washing hair | good 03:44–08:55 |
Haircut factors: weekday Friday; nakshatra Uttara-Bhadra until 19:18, Revati from 19:18; tithi Krishna-ashtami until 08:55, Krishna-navami from 08:55; lagna Mithuna 03:44, Karka 06:00, Simha 08:59, Kanya 12:00, Tula 15:00, Vrischika 18:01, Dhanu 20:45
Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Uttara-Bhadra (until 19:18) — a good life; Revati (from 19:18) — increase in property; Friday — universal respect.
Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:
- Krishna-ashtami 03:44–08:55: a Parva tithi — haircuts and shaving are postponed (according to the Muhurta Chintamani).
- Krishna-navami 08:55–21:17: 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).

Cautions:
- Ekadashi: by custom, those who fast on this day do not cut their hair or shave.
- The Muhurta Chintamani warns: whoever shaves in Krittika nakshatra 6 times a year puts their life in danger — frequent haircuts in this nakshatra are best avoided.
- 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.

Windows are the best daytime hours according to the site’s summary rating, excluding the times of the day’s prohibitions (see below).
| Cutting hair, shaving | bad throughout the daytime |
|---|---|
| Cutting fingernails, cutting toenails | bad throughout the daytime |
| Bathing, washing hair | average 03:45–08:43, 11:44–20:29 |
Haircut factors: weekday Tuesday; nakshatra Krittika; tithi Krishna-dvadashi until 07:40, Krishna-trayodashi from 07:40; lagna Mithuna 03:45, Karka 05:45, Simha 08:43, Kanya 11:44, Tula 14:44, Vrischika 17:45, Dhanu 20:29
Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Krittika — consumption (a wasting disease); Tuesday — harm to longevity.
Cautions:
- The Muhurta Chintamani warns: whoever shaves in Krittika nakshatra 6 times a year puts their life in danger — frequent haircuts in this nakshatra are best avoided.
- 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).

Patron: Trivikrama; Aditya — Mitra. Full moon in nakshatra Jyeshtha. Ritu: Grishma.
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.
Northern samvatsara: Plavanga (No. 41)
Shaka Samvat 1936 · Vikram Samvat 2071 · Kali Yuga 5115

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.
Group: Rikta. Deity: Yama.

Deity: Aditi
Type: movable (chara, chala) — For journeys and moving house, buying vehicles, gardening, quick and temporary changes.
Vimshottari lord: Jupiter
Shakti: give the gaining of profit (property, wealth), growth
Inauspicious: difficulties and obstacles; the first 6 ghatis (about 2 h 24 min) are skipped.
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). Nine yogas are inauspicious: Vishkambha, Atiganda, Shula, Ganda, Vyaghata, Vajra, Parigha and especially Vyatipata and Vaidhriti; the rest are auspicious.
Deity: Shri (Lakshmi)
Auspicious: trade, deals, buying and selling, partnerships and long-term business projects.

Start of morning civil twilight: the Sun is 6° below the horizon and the sky grows light.
Appearance of the upper limb of the solar disc, with refraction. The Vedic day and the vara begin at sunrise.
True noon — the culmination of the Sun, midway between sunrise and sunset.
The upper limb of the solar disc disappears below the horizon (with refraction).
End of evening civil twilight: the Sun is 6° below the horizon.
Appearance of the upper limb of the lunar disc above the horizon. The decisive time for Sankashti Chaturthi and Karwa Chauth.
The upper limb of the lunar disc disappears below the horizon.
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).
what to do (Tibetan tradition): planting trees, sowing grain crops
plants of the day: laurel, spices, for example hot peppers
nakshatra Punarvasu
Gardening, activities with frequent changes; not suitable for activities aimed at a long-term result.
according to the Indian tradition: Gardening, activities with frequent changes; not suitable for activities aimed at a long-term result (planting or sowing is not allowed).
Shukla-chaturti
felling trees, for pruning and uprooting, but not for anything else
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.
The Moon’s nakshatra is the 4th, 6th, 9th, 10th, 13th or 20th from the Sun’s nakshatra. As the Sun dispels darkness, so this yoga cancels many bad combinations of the day and supports new undertakings.

Auspicious yogas support the day’s affairs; inauspicious ones (especially Utpata, Mrityu and Kana) weaken them.
A Sunday when the Moon is in Pushya. Very favourable for purchases, preparing medicines and medical treatment, beginning studies and mantra practice.
The yoga of “accomplishing all aims”: an auspicious combination of weekday and nakshatra (each day has its own 3–7 nakshatras). Good for any new undertaking; exceptions: Thu + Pushya is not used for weddings, Tue + Ashwini for housewarmings, Sat + Rohini for travel.
“Poisonous” tithi of the weekday: Sun — 4, Mon — 6, Tue — 7, Wed — 2, Thu — 8, Fri — 9, Sat — 7. Unfavourable for new undertakings, medical treatment and transactions.
The time of Vishti Karana — halves of the 4th, 8th, 11th and 15th tithis of the bright half and of the 3rd, 7th, 10th and 14th of the dark half of the month. 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).
“Mouth” of Bhadra — the most dangerous 5 ghatis (2 hours) of Bhadra; nothing important is done at this time.
“Tail” of Bhadra — the last 3 ghatis (1 h 12 min) of one of its praharas; considered an acceptable time if Bhadra cannot be avoided (for example, for Holika Dahan).
A tithi “burnt” by the Sun in its current sign (the Sun in Dhanu or Mina — the 2nd, in Vrishabha or Kumbha — the 4th, in Mesha or Karka — the 6th, in Mithuna or Kanya — the 8th, in Simha or Vrischika — the 10th, in Tula or Makara — the 12th): unfavourable for new undertakings.
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.
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.
The 11th daytime muhurta, the “time of victory”: good for journeys, contests and decisive action; the main time of Vijayadashami.
“Dust from the hooves” — about 24 minutes right after sunset, when the cows return from pasture. An auspicious time for weddings and evening rites.
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.
Midnight — the 8th muhurta of the night. The decisive time for Maha Shivaratri, Krishna Janmashtami and Kali Puja.
“Time of nectar” — about an hour and a half within each nakshatra, favourable for any new undertaking and mitigating inauspicious factors.
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 8 (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 16:30–18:00; if the nominal 6:00–18:00 day is counted in local mean time — 16:59–18:29 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.
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 5. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 12:00–13:30.
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 7. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 15:00–16:30. 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.
An inauspicious muhurta (about 48 minutes) — one or two per day, specific to each weekday. It is avoided for new undertakings, journeys and deals.
“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.
B. V. Raman: nails are not cut on Friday or Saturday, on Ashtami, Navami or Chaturdashi, or on new moon and full moon days.
B. V. Raman: nails are not cut on Friday or Saturday, on Ashtami, Navami or Chaturdashi, or on new moon and full moon days.
Weekdays for a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: auspicious — Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday; avoided — Sunday, Tuesday and Saturday (Sunday is permitted for Brahmins, Tuesday for Kshatriyas, Saturday for Vaishyas and others); Monday is good only during the waxing Moon.

Tithis for a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: auspicious — the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 10th, 11th and 13th; avoided — the 1st, 4th, 6th, 8th, 9th, 14th, full moon and new moon; in Krishna Paksha the first five tithis are permitted (according to some, the first seven).

Mesha (Aries) — “great calamities”; Simha (Leo) — “disease and suffering”; Vrischika (Scorpio) — “disease and suffering”; Dhanu (Sagittarius) — “fear of the authorities”; Kumbha (Aquarius) — “ruin of the family”.
Classical rules: have a haircut or shave in the daytime, preferably before noon — not at night or at twilight; not after eating, bathing or anointing the body with oil; not on the day of setting out on a journey; not when one’s wife is pregnant; not on one’s birth nakshatra or the 10th and 19th nakshatras from it, and not during Chandrashtama (the Moon in the 8th sign from the natal Moon). These prohibitions are lifted for a wedding, an initiation, release from prison, mourning for one’s parents and at the ruler’s command.
Sources: the Kalaprakashika of Narasimha (ch. V on haircuts — written about a child’s first haircut, chaula; English translation by N. P. Subramania Iyer, 1917), the Muhurta Chintamani of Rama Daivajna, B. V. Raman’s Muhurtha. The rating is the site’s summary, as in the “Lunar haircut calendar”: starting from a base score of 4, each factor — weekday, nakshatra, tithi and lagna — adds one point if favourable or subtracts one if unfavourable; total score 0–8: 7–8 good, 4–6 average, 0–3 bad. Windows are the parts of the daytime with the best rating (at least 15 minutes long); for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting, the times of the day’s prohibitions are excluded.
The Moon in a fixed, soft, light or movable nakshatra — favourable for activities of its type.
Auspicious: investments, trade, savings, starting ventures that are meant to grow.
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). Nine yogas are inauspicious: Vishkambha, Atiganda, Shula, Ganda, Vyaghata, Vajra, Parigha and especially Vyatipata and Vaidhriti; the rest are auspicious.
Vishti Karana with the Moon in Karka, Simha, Kumbha or Mina: Bhadra resides on earth (bhu-loka) and is especially harmful.

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.

Auspicious yogas support the day’s affairs; inauspicious ones (especially Utpata, Mrityu and Kana) weaken them.
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 2 (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 07:30–09:00; if the nominal 6:00–18:00 day is counted in local mean time — 07:59–09:29 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.
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 4. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 10:30–12:00.
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 6. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 13:30–15:00. 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.

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.

Auspicious yogas support the day’s affairs; inauspicious ones (especially Utpata, Mrityu and Kana) weaken them.
“Bell of Yama” — a combination of weekday and nakshatra: Sun — Magha, Mon — Vishakha, Tue — Ardra, Wed — Mula, Thu — Krittika, Fri — Rohini, Sat — Hasta. One of the most dangerous yogas: travel, surgery and any important new undertakings are avoided.
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 3 (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 09:00–10:30; if the nominal 6:00–18:00 day is counted in local mean time — 09:29–10:59 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.
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 6. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 13:30–15:00.
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 1. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 06:00–07:30. 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.
