Samvatsara and month
Vishvavasu (No. 39, “wealth of the world”) — A year of the world’s wealth: plenty and contentment, though good things are unevenly shared. more
Northern samvatsara: Kalayukta. Shaka Samvat 2007, Vikram Samvat 2142, Kali Yuga 5186.
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.

- 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).

Haircut factors: weekday Thursday; nakshatra Anuradha until 18:22, Jyestha from 18:22; tithi Shukla-chaturdashi until 07:09, Purnima from 07:09; lagna Vrishabha 03:48, Mithuna 04:26, Karka 06:54, Simha 09:53, Kanya 12:53, Tula 15:54, Vrischika 18:55
Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Anuradha (until 18:22) — loss of money. In general Anuradha is favourable, but not for the very first shaving, cutting or trimming of hair (“vapanam”); Jyestha (from 18:22) — 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 03:48–07:09: a Rikta and Parva tithi — haircuts and shaving are postponed (according to the Muhurta Chintamani and the Kalaprakashika).
- Purnima 07:09–21:10: 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).

| Bathing, washing hair | good 18:05–21:13 |
Haircut factors: weekday Monday; nakshatra Uttara-Ashadha until 10:54, Shravana from 10:54; tithi Krishna-chaturti until 18:05, Krishna-panchami from 18:05; lagna Vrishabha 03:45, Mithuna 04:10, Karka 06:38, Simha 09:37, Kanya 12:38, Tula 15:38, Vrischika 18:39
Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Uttara-Ashadha (until 10:54) — improved health; Shravana (from 10:54) — 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 03:45–18:05: 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).
- Monday: according to the Kalaprakashika, it is good for a haircut only during the waxing Moon.

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Purva-Bhadra (until 04:08) — facing death (dangers); Uttara-Bhadra (from 04:08) — a good life; Friday — universal respect.
Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:
- Krishna-ashtami 03:44–08:23: a Parva tithi — haircuts and shaving are postponed (according to the Muhurta Chintamani).
- Krishna-navami 08:23–21:16: a Rikta tithi — haircuts and shaving are not advised (according to the Muhurta Chintamani and the Kalaprakashika).
- Sankranti at 13:20 — a Parva day: no haircuts or shaving on this day (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).

Haircut factors: weekday Saturday; nakshatra Revati; tithi Krishna-navami until 06:45, Krishna-dashami from 06:45; lagna Vrishabha 03:44, Mithuna 03:50, Karka 06:19, Simha 09:17, Kanya 12:18, Tula 15:18, Vrischika 18:19, Dhanu 21:02
Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Revati — increase in property; Saturday — decline of physical strength.
Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:

- Bhadra on earth 18:05–21:16: no shaving or haircuts during Vishti Karana (according to the Muhurta Chintamani, Bhadra does harm when it is on earth; in heaven and in the netherworld its influence on earth is weak).

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).

Practice day: A special day for fasting, puja and spiritual practice (Ekadashi, Purnima, Amavasya, Shivaratri, Sankranti, a festival). The cell colour does not change.
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: Kalayukta (No. 52)
Shaka Samvat 2007 · Vikram Samvat 2142 · Kali Yuga 5186
Next year — Parabhava, from the new moon before Ugadi (the start of Chaitra) 13.04.2086
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: Jaya. Deity: Vasus.
The ruler of the eighth lunar day is Vasu, which favors the beginning of military operations, the construction of defenses and fortifications.
Meaning: Prior red
Symbol: Headboard, rarely: hammock, ficus
Deity: Bhaga (Share, Distributor) - god of wealth and family
Type: fierce (ugra, krura) — For destructive and dangerous tasks: demolition, work with fire and weapons, disputes; unsuitable for other auspicious undertakings (the exception is weddings: Magha is among the nakshatras for marriage).
Vimshottari lord: Venus
Shakti: give reproduction, the receiving of fruit
Inauspicious: sudden hindrances, a “lightning strike”; the first 3 ghatis (about 1 h 12 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: Indra
Auspicious: good for any benevolent and lasting work, building up health and strength, undertakings meant to grow.
A karana is half a tithi; there are 60 of them in a lunar month.
Lord: Venus
All manifestations of beauty and harmony find their support and development on this day, therefore, most worldly and spiritual affairs that do not rely on brute force are good to begin or implement at this time. The day is especially good for marriage, hiring workers, building relationships, creativity, music, singing, dancing, poetry and holding holidays or performances, it is best to schedule a romantic date at this time - it will add additional shine to decorations and a special aroma to flowers, and tact to the owners of all this.
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 flowers and trees; digging the ground is not very favorable; do not prune and the like
plants of the day: flowers, ornamental plants
nakshatra Purva-Phalguni
For pruning and uprooting, but not for anything else.
Shukla-ashtami
tillage and sowing are forbidden
for pruning and uprooting, but not for anything else
Planting and sowing are allowed.
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.
An additional auspicious combination of weekday and nakshatra, not given in all panchangas: Sun — Mula, Mon — Dhanishtha, Tue — Uttara Bhadrapada, Wed — Krittika, Thu — Punarvasu, Fri — Purva Phalguni, Sat — Swati.

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.
“Burnt” tithi of the weekday: Sun — 12, Mon — 11, Tue — 5, Wed — 3, Thu — 6, Fri — 8, Sat — 9. Whatever is begun bears no fruit.
“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 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 4 (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 10:30–12:00; if the nominal 6:00–18:00 day is counted in local mean time — 10:59–12:29 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 7. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 15:00–16:30.
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 2. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 07:30–09:00. 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.
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.

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.

Auspicious yogas support the day’s affairs; inauspicious ones (especially Utpata, Mrityu and Kana) weaken them.
An inauspicious combination of tithi and nakshatra (the “empty” nakshatra of a tithi, for example the 6th or 11th tithi with Rohini, the 12th with Ashlesha). Whatever is begun at this time remains without result.
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 7 (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 15:00–16:30; if the nominal 6:00–18:00 day is counted in local mean time — 15:29–16:59 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 3. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 09:00–10:30.
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 5. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 12:00–13:30. 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.
