Today's Tithi

The tithi at sunrise is Trayodashi, falling in the Shukla paksha. It remains active until 01:37 PM, after which Chaturdashi begins. Trayodashi is presided over by the deity Kamadeva and belongs to the Jaya group. Traditionally, a Jaya tithi is considered auspicious for contests, tasks requiring success, learning, and the arts. Many households observe the Pradosh vrat for Lord Shiva during the evening of this tithi. A tithi is the lunar day in the Hindu calendar, and it is the primary basis for fixing the dates of vrats and festivals. Following Trayodashi, Chaturdashi is a Rikta tithi, which tradition suggests avoiding for new auspicious beginnings.

Today's Nakshatra

At sunrise, the nakshatra is Uttara Bhadrapada, which continues until 08:32 PM, followed by Revati. Uttara Bhadrapada is ruled by Saturn and its presiding deity is Ahir Budhnya. It is classified as a Dhruva or fixed type nakshatra, which is traditionally favoured for lasting work, such as laying foundations, planting, or taking up permanent positions. Revati, which follows, is ruled by Mercury, presided over by Pushan, and is a Mridu or soft type nakshatra, traditionally used for arts, music, friendships, and gentle undertakings. You should note that both Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati are flagged as Panchak nakshatras.

Today's Yoga and Karana

The yoga at sunrise is Vyaghata, which lasts until 08:01 PM, followed by Harshana. Tradition generally considers Vyaghata to be inauspicious, whereas Harshana is viewed as auspicious. Regarding the karana, the day starts with Taitila until 01:37 PM, followed by Gara until 12:52 AM, 25 Oct, and then Vanija. Taitila is a movable karana considered auspicious for gentle and household work. Gara is also a movable karana, traditionally good for agriculture and sustained effort, while Vanija is favoured for trade and business. There is no Vishti karana today, so the specific restrictions associated with Bhadra do not apply.

Today's Vaar (Day of the Week)

Today is Saturday, 24 October 2026. This weekday is ruled by the planet Saturn. The presiding deities for Saturday are Shani and Hanuman. Traditionally, this day is associated with discipline, hard work, and spiritual practices dedicated to Lord Shani and Lord Hanuman to seek stability and remove obstacles from your life. Knowing the vaar helps you align your daily activities with the planetary energy governing the day.

Paksha, Month and Samvat Today

Currently, the Shukla paksha is running in the Hindu month of Ashwina (both according to Amanta and Purnimanta calendars). The year is 2083 according to Vikram Samvat, with the samvatsara named Siddharthi. According to Shaka Samvat, the year is 1948, and the samvatsara is Parabhava. The present season is Sharad ritu, and the solar transit is in Dakshinayana. These details define the broader temporal framework of the Hindu calendar for your spiritual and ritual planning.

Today's Moon Sign (Chandra Rashi)

The Moon is positioned in Pisces for the entire day, remaining there until 07:22 PM, 25 Oct. The Sun is currently transiting through Libra. For those calculating Chandrabalam, the Moon's placement today is traditionally favourable for individuals with their moon sign in Taurus, Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Capricorn, and Pisces. This indicates a period of mental strength and positive emotional alignment for these specific rashis.

Today's Vrat and Festival

The major festival listed for today is Shani Pradosh (Shukla). This is a significant day for the worship of Lord Shiva and Lord Shani. Since the tithi at sunrise is Trayodashi, it is the traditional day for the Pradosh vrat. You are advised to follow the tithi present at sunrise to determine the observance of the vrat. Apart from Shani Pradosh, no other major festivals are listed for this date.

Rahu Kaal — 08:52 AM to 10:17 AM: Avoid starting new ventures.
Yamaganda — 01:08 PM to 02:33 PM: Traditionally avoided for important beginnings.

Dinamana, Ratrimana and Madhyahna

The day length (Dinamana) is 11 hours, 22 minutes, and 39 seconds, while the night length (Ratrimana) is 12 hours, 37 minutes, and 54 seconds. The midday point (Madhyahna) occurs at 11:42 AM. The Moon rises at 04:00 PM and sets at 04:55 AM, 25 Oct. These solar and lunar timings are the foundation from which all other muhurtas and auspicious windows are derived.

Nivas and Shool

The Disha Shool today is East, meaning travel in the East direction is traditionally avoided. Agnivasa is in Aakash, and Shivavasa is on Vrishabha. The Chandra Vasa is in the North, and Rahu Vasa is in the East. Homahuti is associated with Shani. The Anandadi yoga for today is Dhumra, which provides a general indication of the day's energetic quality.

How to Use Today's Panchang

To make the most of today's energies, you can follow these practical steps: First, since the sunrise tithi is Trayodashi, use this for observing the Shani Pradosh vrat and evening Shiva puja. Second, plan your important tasks around the Abhijit Muhurat (11:19 AM to 12:05 PM) and ensure they do not overlap with Rahu Kaal (08:52 AM to 10:17 AM) or Varjyam. Third, if you are planning travel, be mindful of the Disha Shool in the East. Finally, utilize the Brahma Muhurta and sunrise timings for your morning meditation and spiritual routine to start your day with clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is shown in the Panchang table above, calculated at sunrise for the city you select. Pick your city from the dropdown to get the tithi that applies to you.

No. The five limbs are read at local sunrise, so cities far apart in longitude can show a different tithi or nakshatra on the same date.

At sunrise, not at midnight. A reading dated today stays in force until tomorrow's sunrise at your place.

Lahiri (Chitrapaksha), the standard used by the Indian national calendar and by most published panchangs.

Yes — use the date picker above. You can move day by day with the arrows or jump to any date to plan ahead.

Because a nakshatra rarely lasts exactly one day. The table lists the one running at sunrise and the one that follows it, each with its own start and end time, so you can see precisely when the change-over happens.

Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the daylight, its position set by the weekday. New undertakings, journeys and major purchases are traditionally avoided during it — work already in progress is not stopped. Yamaganda and Gulika Kaal are read the same way.

Abhijit is the eighth of the day's fifteen muhurtas, straddling midday, and is used when no other auspicious window is available. On Wednesday that slot is counted as Dur Muhurtam instead, so the Panchang shows no Abhijit for that day.

Both are computed from the running nakshatra. Varjyam is a window to be rejected for new work; Amrit Kalam is the same window twenty ghatis (about eight hours) later and is considered especially favourable for beginnings.

Dinamana is the length of the day from sunrise to sunset and Ratrimana the length of the night that follows. Every muhurat on this page is a fraction of one of them, which is why all the timings shift through the year and between cities.
