Samvatsara and month
Kilaka (No. 42, “wedge, bolt”) — A year of obstacles: affairs get stuck; perseverance and patience are needed. more
Northern samvatsara: Durmati → Dundubhi. Shaka Samvat 2010, Vikram Samvat 2145, Kali Yuga 5189.
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

Festivals and periods
Vat Purnima Vrat · Savitri and Satyavan
The same as Vat Savitri, in the tradition of Maharashtra, Gujarat and the South: women fast for the long life of their husbands and circumambulate a banyan tree with thread. It is observed by the “chaturdashi viddha” rule — often on the day before the one with Purnima at sunrise.
Rule: pradosha vyapini: 3 muhurtas after sunset, 21:06–22:26
the tithi covers the decisive time on this day only
Purnima Vrat · Chandra (the Moon)
The full moon fast (Purnima upavas) is kept on the day when Purnima prevails at midday (Madhyahna): if it begins before noon, the fast falls on the day before the one with Purnima at sunrise. Devotees fast from sunrise until moonrise and pray to Vishnu (Satyanarayana) and Chandra.
Rule: madhyahna vyapini: midday (the 3rd fifth of the daytime), 10:44–14:12
the tithi covers the decisive time on both days — the first is chosen by rule

- According to the Kalaprakashika, Anuradha (03:50–05:11) is good for sowing, for flowering plants and fruit-bearing creepers.
- According to the Kalaprakashika, Jyestha (05:11–21:07) is good for flowering plants and fruit-bearing creepers.

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 | average 13:04–19:06 |
|---|---|
| Cutting fingernails, cutting toenails | average 13:04–19:06 |
| Bathing, washing hair | good 03:50–05:11 |
Haircut factors: weekday Friday; nakshatra Anuradha until 05:11, Jyestha from 05:11; tithi Purnima until 11:10, Krishna-pratipat from 11:10; lagna Vrishabha 03:50, Mithuna 04:37, Karka 07:05, Simha 10:04, Kanya 13:04, Tula 16:05, Vrischika 19:06
Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Anuradha (until 05:11) — loss of money. In general Anuradha is favourable, but not for the very first shaving, cutting or trimming of hair (“vapanam”); Jyestha (from 05:11) — loss (reduction) of landed property (real estate); Friday — universal respect.
Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:
- Purnima 03:50–11:10: 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).
- 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).

| Cutting fingernails, cutting toenails | average 20:14–21:11 |
| Bathing, washing hair | average 03:47–09:48, 12:49–21:11 |
Haircut factors: weekday Tuesday; nakshatra Uttara-Ashadha until 16:39, Shravana from 16:39; tithi Krishna-chaturti until 20:14, Krishna-panchami from 20:14; lagna Vrishabha 03:47, Mithuna 04:21, Karka 06:49, Simha 09:48, Kanya 12:49, Tula 15:49, Vrischika 18:50
Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Uttara-Ashadha (until 16:39) — improved health; Shravana (from 16:39) — bodily development (physical growth); Tuesday — harm to longevity.
Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:
- Krishna-chaturti 03:47–20:14: 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).

Festivals and periods
Kalashtami · Kalabhairava
The eighth day of the waning Moon is dedicated to Kalabhairava, the fierce form of Shiva. The day is chosen so that Ashtami prevails at the beginning of the night (Pradosha). Devotees fast, worship Bhairava in the evening and at night, and feed dogs — the dog is his mount.

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Purva-Bhadra — facing death (dangers); Saturday — decline of physical strength.
Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:
- Krishna-ashtami 03:45–21:14: a Parva tithi — haircuts and shaving are postponed (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).

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.
- The Muhurta Chintamani warns: whoever shaves in Rohini nakshatra 8 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).

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Uttara-Phalguni — destruction of all diseases; Friday — universal respect.
Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:
- Shukla-ashtami 11:25–21:18: a Parva tithi — haircuts and shaving are postponed (according to the Muhurta Chintamani).
- Vyatipata 03:46–17:05: auspicious undertakings, including haircuts, are avoided during this yoga (according to the Muhurta Chintamani).
Cautions:
- The Muhurta Chintamani warns: whoever shaves in Uttara-Phalguni nakshatra 4 times a year puts their life in danger — frequent haircuts in this nakshatra are best avoided.
- 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).

The result of whatever is begun repeats three times: good for purchases and investments, bad for losses, loans, surgery and funerals.

- According to the Kalaprakashika, Anuradha (08:08–21:16) is good for sowing, for flowering plants and fruit-bearing creepers.
Festivals and periods
Pradosha Vrat · Shiva
A fast dedicated to Shiva on the thirteenth lunar day (Trayodashi) of both halves of the month. The decisive time is the evening twilight (Pradosha), when, according to legend, Shiva dances on Mount Kailash: in the evening Shiva Puja and abhisheka of the lingam are performed.

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Vishakha (until 08:08) — loss of money; Anuradha (from 08:08) — loss of money. In general Anuradha is favourable, but not for the very first shaving, cutting or trimming of hair (“vapanam”); Wednesday — favour of the authorities.
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.

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.

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: Bhadra. Deity: Sun (Ravi).
The Sun (Ravi) rules the twelfth lunar day and this period is auspicious for religious ceremonies, lighting the sacred fire and performing one's duties.
Meaning: Sword
Symbol: Sword, also sprout or coral
Deity: Waiu (Wind)
Type: movable (chara, chala) — For journeys and moving house, buying vehicles, gardening, quick and temporary changes.
Vimshottari lord: Rahu
Shakti: scatter like air, move, convert
Auspicious: comfort and convenience, purchases, home improvement, any auspicious deeds.
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: Brahma
Auspicious: religious rites, study, spiritual and charitable work.
A karana is half a tithi; there are 60 of them in a lunar month.
Lord: Mars
Promotes decisive manifestations of will, competitions, active and gambling games, sports, training, overcoming obstacles, working with fire, metal (especially iron), mechanisms, electricity, explosive substances and weapons, militant actions, demand from debtors, litigation, verdicts, quarrels, conflicts, control of parasites (insects and rats) and similar matters. Some medical procedures, such as massage or chiropractic therapy, can be carried out during this time.
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): unfavorable for planting seeds, flowers and trees or for working in the field (favorable for fighting pests or pruning something)
plants of the day: onions, garlic and thorny plants, plants that actively defend themselves
nakshatra Swati
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).

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 auspicious combination of weekday and tithi group: Fri — Nanda (1, 6, 11), Wed — Bhadra (2, 7, 12), Tue — Jaya (3, 8, 13), Sat — Rikta (4, 9, 14), Thu — Purna (5, 10, 15). Brings success; if the same pair also forms an inauspicious yoga, Siddha prevails.

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.
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.
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 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.
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.

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.
A tithi favourable for new undertakings: in the bright half of the month — the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 10th, 11th and 13th, in the dark half — the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th.
Inauspicious: obstacles; nothing is started in the first half of the yoga, while the second half is acceptable.
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.
Tuesday or Saturday — the days of the harsh (krura) planets Mars and Saturn.
Group: Jaya. Deity: God of Love.
The thirteenth lunar day is ruled by the God of love, which is favorable for establishing friendly relations, sensual pleasures, as well as celebrations.
Meaning: Forked branch (also called Radha - gift)
Symbol: Triumphal arch for marriage, potter's wheel
Deity: Indra and Agni
Type: mixed (mishra, sadharana) — For everyday and routine tasks, work with fire and metal; it is better not to begin important new matters.
Vimshottari lord: Jupiter
Shakti: achieve (many and different goals, fruits)
Deity: Aryaman
Auspicious: dealings with authorities and superiors, fame, home and housing, clothing and jewellery.
A karana is half a tithi; there are 60 of them in a lunar month.
Lord: Mercury
If Mercury is not under the influence of malefic planets, the day will be favorable, active, you can do a lot and learn a lot (if the opposite happens, there will be absent-mindedness, vanity and ill-considered actions leading to losses). Owner day promotes all intellectual and creative pursuits: music, graphics, poetry, literature, linguistics, mathematics, astrology, the study of ordinary and secret sciences.
what to do (Tibetan tradition): doing work related to water and earth - plowing and sowing, planting flowers and trees
plants of the day: climbers, plants that depend on others and adapt quickly, all leafy greens
nakshatra Vishakha
Planting and sowing are not allowed, but everyday routine tasks may be carried out.
Shukla-triodashi
no pruning or felling
not good for sowing seeds, 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.
A combination of weekday and nakshatra that yields the “nectar of success”: Sun — Hasta, Mon — Mrigashirsha, Tue — Ashwini, Wed — Anuradha, Thu — Pushya, Fri — Revati, Sat — Rohini. One of the strongest auspicious yogas: it brings success to almost any undertaking.

Auspicious yogas support the day’s affairs; inauspicious ones (especially Utpata, Mrityu and Kana) weaken them.
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.
“Deadly” combination of weekday and tithi group: Sun and Tue — Nanda (1, 6, 11), Mon and Fri — Bhadra (2, 7, 12), Wed — Jaya (3, 8, 13), Thu — Rikta (4, 9, 14), Sat — Purna (5, 10, 15). Portends failure for new undertakings.
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 5 (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 12:00–13:30; if the nominal 6:00–18:00 day is counted in local mean time — 12:29–13:59 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 2. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 07:30–09:00.
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 4. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 10:30–12:00. 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.
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).
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.
One-eighth of the daytime associated with Yama: unfavourable for new undertakings and journeys.

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 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.

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.
