Panchang Today in Ujjain

Understanding Today's Panchang in Ujjain

The Panchang (meaning “five limbs” in Sanskrit) is the traditional Hindu calendar system used to determine auspicious and inauspicious timings for daily activities. The five elements are Tithi (lunar day), Nakshatra (lunar mansion), Yoga (Sun-Moon angular relationship), Karana (half of a Tithi), and Vara (weekday). Together, these five components provide a complete picture of the cosmic energy available on any given day.

Today in Ujjain, the Tithi is Dwitiya (Krishna Paksha), and the Moon occupies Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra (Pada 2), ruled by Jupiter. The prevailing Yoga is Dhriti, which is considered favourable for starting new endeavours.

All timings on this page are calculated specifically for Ujjain (Asia/Kolkata timezone) using the Lahiri Ayanamsa and precise astronomical positions from NASA JPL ephemeris data. Sunrise in Ujjain today is at 6:07 AM and sunset at 6:47 PM, giving a day length of 12 hours and 39 minutes.

Muhurat Timings for Ujjain

Rahu Kaal (9:17 AM - 10:52 AM) is a period considered inauspicious for starting new ventures, signing contracts, or beginning journeys. This timing is calculated by dividing the daytime into eight equal parts and assigning the Rahu-ruled segment based on the weekday.

Abhijit Muhurat (12:02 PM - 12:52 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day, occurring around solar noon. It is considered universally favourable for important activities regardless of other unfavourable periods.

Yamaganda (2:02 PM - 3:37 PM) and Gulika Kaal (6:07 AM - 7:42 AM) are additional inauspicious windows. While Rahu Kaal receives the most attention, traditional practitioners also avoid Yamaganda for health-related decisions and Gulika Kaal for financial matters.
