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 tithi at sunrise on 31 October 2026 is the Shashthi tithi. In Vedic astrology, a tithi represents a lunar day. This specific tithi is associated with the deity Kartikeya (Skanda) and belongs to the Nanda group. It is traditionally described as a Nanda (joy) tithi — traditionally good for festivities, celebrations and starting happy undertakings.. Following this, the Saptami tithi begins at 04:58 PM and ends at 02:52 PM, 1 Nov. This second tithi is associated with the deity Surya and is a Bhadra (auspicious) tithi — traditionally good for health matters, yagna, gaining things..

Nakshatra Analysis

The primary nakshatra for this day is Ardra, which lasts until 07:12 AM. This lunar mansion is governed by the deity Rudra and is classified as a Tikshna (sharp) type. Such a nakshatra is traditionally not preferred for gentle beginnings; suited to sharp, intensive work. After this, the Punarvasu nakshatra begins at 07:12 AM and continues until 05:40 AM, 1 Nov. This nakshatra is governed by Aditi and is of the Chara (movable) type, which is traditionally favoured for travel, vehicles and tasks involving movement. Checking an online panchang helps in aligning activities with these stellar positions.

Yoga and Karana

The yoga prevailing at the start of this day is Siddha, ending at 05:32 PM, which is traditionally considered auspicious. This is followed by Sadhya yoga, which is traditionally considered auspicious. Regarding the karana, the first is Gara, ending at 06:09 AM. It is a movable (Chara) karana and is good for agriculture and sustained effort. The second karana is Vanija, from 06:09 AM to 04:58 PM, which is a movable (Chara) karana and is good for trade and business. The third karana is Vishti, starting at 04:58 PM.

Weekday Significance

The day is Saturday, which is ruled by the planet Saturn and the deity Shani and Hanuman. In traditional Vedic systems, each weekday carries a specific energy that influences the nature of the day. The influence of Saturn is traditionally considered to affect the temperament and success of various activities. This panchang for the day highlights the alignment of the weekday with the lunar and solar positions to determine the overall quality of the time.

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. According to the Purnimanta calendar, the month is Kartika. This occurs during the Sharad season of the Dakshinayana. The current era is marked by the Vikram Samvat 2083 and Shaka Samvat 1948, with the respective samvatsaras being Siddharthi and Parabhava.

Moon Sign and Transit

The Moon is positioned in the Gemini sign until 12:01 AM, 1 Nov. This placement provides Chandrabalam for those with signs Aries, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Sagittarius, Capricorn until 12:01 AM, 1 Nov. Subsequently, the Moon enters the Cancer sign, which lasts until 03:47 AM, 3 Nov. This transit provides Chandrabalam for those with signs Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Libra, Capricorn, Aquarius until 06:06 AM, 1 Nov. The Moon's movement through the zodiac is traditionally used to determine the emotional and mental state of individuals.

Festivals and Vrats

The spiritual atmosphere of this day is highlighted by no major festivals listed for this specific date. Traditional fasts or celebrations on this day are usually aligned with the tithi and nakshatra. These observances are part of the rich cultural heritage of the Vedic calendar.

Auspicious Timings

Selecting a shubh muhurat is traditionally believed to increase the probability of success. For this day, the following auspicious windows are identified:

The nishita kaal for this day is from 11:16 PM to 12:07 AM, 1 Nov, which is traditionally used for specific tantric or spiritual practices.

Day and Night Duration

The length of the day and night varies based on the solar position. For this day, the dinamana is 11 hours and 13 minutes, while the ratrimana is 12 hours and 47 minutes. The sun is currently in the Libra sign. These calculations are essential for determining the exact timing of sandhyas and other ritualistic activities throughout the day and night.

Directional and Planetary Vasas

Directional influences are an important part of the daily panchang. The disha shool for this day is East, meaning travel in this direction is traditionally avoided. Other planetary positions include Agnivasa in Aakash and Shivavasa in Bhojan. The Moon's residence, or Chandra Vasa, is in the North, while Rahu Vasa is in the East. These placements are traditionally used to determine the suitability of a location for specific rituals.

Practical Application

To make the most of this day's planetary alignments, one can use the panchang in the following ways:

Align important meetings or new beginnings with the Abhijit Muhurat or the Vijaya Muhurta for better outcomes.
Avoid scheduling critical travel or signing contracts during the Rahu Kaal from 08:53 AM to 10:17 AM.
Utilize the energy of the Ardra nakshatra, which is traditionally not preferred for gentle beginnings; suited to sharp, intensive work.
Plan spiritual practices during the Brahma Muhurta or the sandhya periods to enhance mental clarity.
