What is today's tithi?

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.

Is the daily Panchang the same all over India?

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.

When does the Panchang change over to the next day?

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

Which ayanamsha is used?

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

Can I see the Panchang for a past or future date?

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

Why does today's Panchang show two nakshatras?

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.

What is Rahu Kaal and should I avoid it?

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.

What is Abhijit Muhurat, and why does it sometimes say None?

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.

What are Varjyam and Amrit Kalam?

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.

What do Dinamana and Ratrimana mean?

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.

Tithi Details

The primary tithi for this day is Panchami, which concludes at 07:25 PM. In Vedic tradition, the tithi is the lunar day that determines the energy of the period. The tithi Panchami is associated with the deity Naga devatas and belongs to the Purna group. It is described as a Purna (full) tithi — traditionally good for completing and finalising work.

Following this, the Shashthi tithi begins, ending at 04:58 PM, 31 Oct. This tithi is associated with the deity Kartikeya (Skanda) and the Nanda group. It is considered a Nanda (joy) tithi — traditionally good for festivities, celebrations and starting happy undertakings.

Nakshatra Analysis

The lunar mansion at sunrise is Mrigashira, which lasts until 09:05 AM. Each nakshatra is governed by a specific deity; for Mrigashira, the deity is Soma (Chandra). This nakshatra is of the Mridu (soft) type and is traditionally favoured for arts, music, friendships, clothing and gentle undertakings.

The subsequent nakshatra is Ardra, which starts at 09:05 AM and ends at 07:12 AM, 31 Oct. Governed by Rudra, it is of the Tikshna (sharp) type and is traditionally not preferred for gentle beginnings; suited to sharp, intensive work.

Understanding these placements is a key part of using an online panchang to align activities with cosmic energies.

Yoga and Karana

The yoga for this day is Shiva, which ends at 08:42 PM and is traditionally considered auspicious.

Later, the Siddha yoga begins at 08:42 PM and lasts until 05:32 PM, 31 Oct, which is traditionally considered auspicious.

Regarding the karana, the first is Kaulava, ending at 08:46 AM. It is a movable (Chara) karana and is auspicious, good for friendship and harmony. This is followed by Taitila from 08:46 AM to 07:25 PM, which is a movable (Chara) karana and is auspicious, good for gentle and household work. These elements help in refining the panchang for the day to find the most harmonious moments.

Weekday Significance

This day is Friday, which is ruled by the planet Venus. In the Vedic tradition, each weekday is associated with specific deities; for this day, the deities are Lakshmi and Durga. The energy of Venus traditionally influences the general mood and suitability of the day. Activities aligned with the nature of Lakshmi and Durga are traditionally considered more fruitful. Observing the vaar helps practitioners understand the overarching planetary influence governing the day's events.

Lunar Month and Paksha

The current lunar fortnight is the Krishna paksha. When readers ask which masa is going on now, the answer for this period is the Ashwina month (Kartika according to the Purnimanta calendar). The current Vikram Samvat is 2083 and the Shaka Samvat is 1948. The year is known as Siddharthi in the Vikram system and Parabhava in the Shaka system. This occurs during the Sharad season of the Dakshinayana ayana, with the sun currently positioned in Libra.

Moon Sign and Chandrabalam

The moon is positioned in the Gemini sign until 12:01 AM, 1 Nov. During this time, Chandrabalam is traditionally strong for those with moon signs in Aries, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Sagittarius, Capricorn. The movement of the moon through the rashis is essential for determining the mental and emotional temperament of the day.

Festivals and Vrats

There are no major festivals listed for this specific date. However, the day can still be used for general spiritual practice and personal discipline according to the prevailing tithi and nakshatra. Observing these dates is a central part of the Vedic tradition.

Auspicious Timings

Selecting a shubh muhurat is traditionally believed to increase the likelihood of success. Here are the auspicious windows for this day:

Amrit Kalam: 01:40 AM, 31 Oct to 03:09 AM, 31 Oct
Abhijit Muhurat: 11:19 AM to 12:04 PM
Vijaya Muhurta: 01:34 PM to 02:19 PM
Godhuli Time: 05:18 PM to 05:38 PM

These timings are traditionally considered favorable for starting new ventures, performing prayers, or signing important documents.

Rahu Kaal: 10:17 AM to 11:42 AM
Yamaganda: 02:30 PM to 03:55 PM
Gulika Kaal: 07:29 AM to 08:53 AM

The Nishita Kaal, often used for specific tantric rituals, occurs from 11:16 PM to 12:07 AM, 31 Oct.

Day and Night Duration

The length of the day and night varies based on the sun's position. For this day, the Dinamana is 11 hours and 14 minutes. The Ratrimana is 12 hours and 45 minutes. The sun reaches its zenith at Madhyahna at 11:42 AM. Additionally, the moon rises at 09:04 PM and sets at 11:26 AM, 31 Oct. These calculations are vital for those who follow a strict Vedic routine based on the actual duration of daylight.

Directional and Elemental Vasa

Vedic tradition suggests avoiding travel in certain directions based on the Nivas Shool. For this day, the Disha Shool is West. Other traditional placements include the Agnivasa in Patala and the Shivavasa on Vrishabha. The Chandra Vasa is in the East and the Rahu Vasa is in the West. These placements are traditionally used to determine the suitability of travel or the placement of the sacred fire during a havan.

Practical Application

To make the most of the panchang for the day, consider these traditional applications:

Use the Panchami tithi energy by focusing on activities that are a Purna (full) tithi — traditionally good for completing and finalising work.
Plan important tasks during the Vijaya Muhurta from 01:34 PM to 02:19 PM to seek success.
Avoid starting critical new projects during Rahu Kaal from 10:17 AM to 11:42 AM.
Align your spiritual practices with the deity Lakshmi and Durga to honor the influence of Venus.
