Moonrise/set use Avyani’s existing ritual convention: disc centre, lunar parallax, level horizon, no refraction. They describe this sunrise-to-next-sunrise day; weather, terrain and crescent visibility are not predicted.
Named Chaitra Shukla year convention. Gujarati Kartikadi, Nepali solar years, northern Jovian samvatsaras and the Indian national civil Shaka calendar have different boundaries; they are not inferred from the city.
Traditional lunar seasons are paired from Chaitra–Vaishakha (Vasanta) through Magha–Phalguna (Shishira). Solar seasons use the sign pairs below. These calendar conventions do not predict local weather.
| Solar sign / month | Ingress → next ingress | Pravishte/Gate | Ayana / Ritu |

Gate uses an inclusive local civil-date count: the ingress date is 1; the count advances at local midnight. Ayana follows Makara/Karka sidereal ingress, not the astronomical solstices. Ritu follows the named solar-sign convention.

Traditionally avoided for auspicious beginnings; daily worship continues according to your tradition.
Full Vishti interval overlapping sunrise to next sunrise. Restrictions depend on the ceremony; this does not prohibit daily prayer.
Intervals below are the portion within this Panchang day. A date beside a time marks another civil date.
| Period / Yoga | Start – End | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Amrita Kala | Not present in this Panchang day | |
| Vijaya Muhurta | 13:17 – 14:04 | Solar window |
| Godhuli Muhurta | 16:57 – 17:21 | Solar window |
| Tripushkara Yoga | Not present in this Panchang day | |
| Dwipushkara Yoga | Not present in this Panchang day | |
| Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga | Not present in this Panchang day | |
| Amrita Siddhi Yoga | Not present in this Panchang day | |
| Ravi Yoga | 05:33 – 09:47 | Mula |

| Varjyam | 20:36 – 22:24 | Purva Ashadha |
| Panchak | Not present in this Panchang day | |
Pushkara requires Sunday, Tuesday or Saturday AND Dwitiya/Saptami/Dwadashi AND the named nakshatra. Tripushkara: Krittika, Punarvasu, Uttara Phalguni, Vishakha, Uttara Ashadha, Purva Bhadrapada. Dwipushkara: Mrigashira, Chitra, Dhanishtha. All three conditions must overlap.
Sarvartha and Amrita Siddhi use complete weekday–nakshatra tables. Tuesday–Ashwini, Thursday–Pushya and Saturday–Rohini retain the cited restrictions for marriage, travel and entering a new home. These yogas do not constitute a personal, activity-specific muhurta.
Amrita Kala and Varjyam scale their independent table offsets and duration to the actual nakshatra span; Mula has two Varjyam windows. Vijaya is daylight part 11 of 15. Godhuli here uses the named ±12-minute sunset convention; other conventions may differ.
Panchak is Moon longitude [300°, 360°): Dhanishtha padas 3–4 through Revati. Its type uses the weekday at the actual beginning, with the weekday changing at local sunrise: Sunday Roga, Monday Raja, Tuesday Agni, Friday Chora, Saturday Mrityu; Wednesday/Thursday remain unnamed in this profile.
Ravi Yoga: Moon nakshatra counted inclusively 4, 6, 9, 10, 13 or 20 from the Sun nakshatra (Indastro profile). Both bodies’ nakshatra transitions are checked. Its cited Sunday activity restriction remains; this is not an assurance that other restrictions disappear.
East · 05:33 – 18/10/2026, 05:34 · Traditional food parihara before travel: Urad.
UOU MAJY-103 describes this traditional practice. It is not a travel-safety guarantee; observe your dietary restrictions.
| Nakshatra | Pada | Start – End |
|---|---|---|
| Mula | 4 | 05:33 – 09:47 |
The six stars are Ashwini, Ashlesha, Magha, Jyeshtha, Mula and Revati. Each has padas 1–4, each spanning 3°20′. The table records today’s Moon transit only.
This is not a diagnosis of a person or newborn. A natal Gandamula assessment requires the exact birth instant, place, chart and a specified tradition; daily presence alone does not establish a personal dosha.
Choghadiya follows a North Indian regional convention. Hora lists traditional planetary hours. These tables alone do not determine a complete or personal Muhurta; additional regional exclusions are not evaluated here.

Times follow the selected city’s IANA historical timezone; dates use the Gregorian calendar. The Panchang day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise. Values below begin at sunrise; every change is shown with its end time.
City reference points: existing Avyani locations and GeoNames data (CC BY 4.0). No GPS is used. GeoNames
Supported dates for the installed ephemeris: 01/04/1550 – 31/08/2649
Approximate/provisional timings use predicted Earth rotation or a Delta-T model outside measured coverage. Uncertainty grows for distant centuries and can affect observance dates. Historical timezone offsets are reconstructed; future timezone rules may change.
Yamaganda and daytime Gulika divide the existing sunrise-to-sunset interval into eight equal parts. Their weekday slots follow the usual Panchang convention. These are general daily windows, not a personal Muhurta recommendation.
Daily Moonrise/Moonset and relevant Vrat Moonrise reuse the existing ritual disc-centre convention without refraction. See Moon & Sun for the reference instant and horizon assumptions.
Brahma Muhurta uses the fourteenth of fifteen equal parts of the preceding sunset-to-sunrise night. Pradosh retains Avyani’s first fifth of the night; Nishita is its central fifteenth. These are declared conventions, not a claim that all traditions define them identically.
Durmuhurta uses weekday fifteenths of daylight; Tuesday also includes the seventh fifteenth of the night. Bhadra is the full Vishti Karana interval, without residence, face or tail subdivisions. Choghadiya divides day and night into eight parts each; Hora into twelve each. This daily Hora convention does not alter Kundali’s existing Hora calculation. Amrit in Choghadiya is a traditional slot name, not Nakshatra-based Amrit Kaal.
