Today's Panchang for Jammu
See the character of the day, what is active now, and which general timing windows are supportive or better avoided. Every time below is calculated for Jammu, not copied from a fixed national timetable.
Tithi through the day
- Trayodashi Shukla Paksha until 7:59 AM Started before this sunrise
- Chaturdashi Shukla Paksha until 6:01 AM next morning Still running at the next sunrise Running now
This day is called Trayodashi because that tithi was running at sunrise, which is what names a Vedic day. Right now Chaturdashi is running. Both are correct — they answer different questions.

What is active at 2:26 AM IST
Hora suggests the kind of activity that fits the hour. Choghadiya gives a broader day-planning signal.
Choghadiya
Kaal
Traditionally avoided for auspicious or high-stakes beginnings.
Important timing check
No major caution period is active
Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda and Gulika are not active at this moment. Check the next windows before beginning something important.

The day's muhurta verdict
Is today auspicious in Jammu? 7/10
A muhurta score is a sum of named rules, not an opinion. Every rule that fired is listed below with the weight it carried, so a low score can be read rather than merely accepted.
Overall day strength

Special panchang yogas
Ashubha · use caution
- Vish Yoga Poison yoga — tithi × vara combination, postpone important work.
Disha Shool
North
Setting out toward the North is what a Wednesday traditionally avoids. It is fixed by the weekday alone, not computed from planetary positions, so it is the same in every city.
Parihara Take coriander before setting out.
| Rule | Value on this day | Weight | Why it counts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vaara | Wednesday | +1 | Mercury rules the day — supports new beginnings |
| Tithi | Trayodashi · Shukla | +2 | Jaya (victory) tithi — favours contests, claims and launches |
| Nakshatra | Shravana | +1 | Movable nakshatra — favours travel, vehicles and relocation |
| Nitya Yoga | Saubhagya | +1 | Supportive yoga |
| Karana | Taitila | +1 | Workable karana |
The weights are summed and halved onto a 0-10 scale, so no single rule can saturate it. This is the same verdict the app's month calendar shows for this date.

Thursday
The five parts of the day
Panchang, in plain language
"Panchang" means five limbs. Together they describe the lunar and planetary character of the day at local sunrise.
Tithi
Lunar day
Trayodashi - Shukla Paksha
The Moon is in its waxing half, growing brighter toward the full Moon.
Vara
Weekday
Wednesday
The weekday is traditionally associated with Mercury.
Nakshatra
Moon's constellation
Shravana
The section of the sidereal sky occupied by the Moon at local sunrise.
Yoga
Sun-Moon combination
Saubhagya
A relationship derived from the combined solar and lunar longitudes; classified here as good.
Karana
Half of a lunar day
Taitila
The half-tithi active at sunrise; classified here as good.
Hindu month
Purnimanta - ends at the full Moon
Shravana
The North Indian reckoning, standard in Delhi, UP, Rajasthan, Bihar and Punjab, and the one Vikrama Samvata belongs to.
Hindu month
Amanta - ends at the new Moon
Shravana
The South and West Indian reckoning, standard in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, Andhra and Tamil Nadu.
Vikrama Samvata
Lunar year
2083 Siddharthi
Shukla paksha, so both reckonings name the month identically. They diverge once the Moon starts waning.
Ayana
The Sun's half-year
Dakshinayana
The Sun's southward half-year, from Karka Sankranti in mid-July to the end of Dhanu. Traditionally the half for inner work, vows and ancestral observance.
Ritu
Season
Varsha
The Monsoon season. A ritu is two lunar months long, so it is read from the month above rather than from the calendar date — which is why it can differ from the meteorological season by a couple of weeks.
Shaka Samvata
The national era
1948
India's civil lunisolar era, 135 years behind Vikrama Samvata and aligned to the amanta reckoning. The two can disagree for a fortnight each spring, which is why this is computed rather than subtracted.
Surya & Chandra Rashi
Where the two luminaries sit
Leo · Capricorn
The Sun's sidereal sign and the Moon's, at local sunrise. The Moon's sign is the one Vedic astrology means by "your rashi".
Dinamana & Ratrimana
Measured day and night
13h 02m 24s · 10h 58m 15s
Every proportional window on this page is a fraction of one of these two spans, not of a twelve-hour assumption. That is why a daytime Hora and a night Hora are different lengths today.
Anandadi Yoga
Weekday × nakshatra
Chhatra · Shubha
- Chhatra 6:01 AM - 12:48 AM · Shravana
- Maitra 12:48 AM - 6:01 AM · Dhanishta
One of twenty-eight yogas fixed by the weekday and the Moon's nakshatra, so it changes exactly when the nakshatra does — never at sunrise.
Tamil Yoga
Siddha, Amrita or Marana
Siddha · Shubha
- Siddha 6:01 AM - 12:48 AM · Shravana
- Amrita 12:48 AM - 6:01 AM · Dhanishta
The Tamil almanac's verdict on the weekday and nakshatra pair. Every pair resolves to one of the three — there is no neutral state and no blank day.
Not one value each — a sequence
Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana through the day
The cards above name what was running at local sunrise, which is the convention that names the day. None of the four limbs actually lasts exactly one day, so here is every span each of them takes between this sunrise and the next, with the one running now marked.
Nakshatra through the day
- Shravana until 12:48 AM next morning Started before this sunrise
- Dhanishta until 6:01 AM next morning Still running at the next sunrise Running now
The day's Nakshatra is published as Shravana because that is what was running at local sunrise. Dhanishta is running right now. The Moon crosses one nakshatra in about 19 to 27 hours, so the segment rarely lines up with the day.
Yoga through the day
- Saubhagya until 7:59 AM Started before this sunrise
- Shobhana until 6:01 AM next morning Still running at the next sunrise Running now
The day's Yoga is published as Saubhagya because that is what was running at local sunrise. Shobhana is running right now. A nitya yoga runs a little under a day, so it changes at a different hour every day.
Karana through the day
- Taitila until 7:59 AM Started before this sunrise
- Garaja until 8:38 PM
- Vanija until 6:01 AM next morning Still running at the next sunrise Running now
The day's Karana is published as Taitila because that is what was running at local sunrise. Vanija is running right now. A karana is half a tithi, so a Vedic day always carries at least two.
When the day changes
Exact Panchang transition times
The cards above show what is active at local sunrise. This table shows the first change after sunrise; Vara changes when the next Vedic day begins at sunrise.
| Part | Active at sunrise | First change |
|---|---|---|
| Tithi Lunar day |
Trayodashi (Shukla Paksha) |
Trayodashi (Shukla Paksha) → Chaturdashi (Shukla Paksha) |
| Vara Weekday |
Wednesday |
Wednesday → Thursday at the next sunrise |
| Nakshatra Moon's constellation |

Shravana → Dhanishta |
| Yoga Sun-Moon combination |

Transition times are calculated from sidereal Sun and Moon positions for Jammu, resolved to the second and displayed to the nearest minute.
Key daily periods
Abhijit, Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda and Gulika
These periods move with local sunrise and sunset. They are not fixed clock times for all cities.
Favourable window
Amrit Kaal
Traditionally the most favourable window of the day, derived from the Moon's nakshatra rather than from sunrise alone.
Caution period
Rahu Kaal
Avoid beginning important work. Work already under way can continue.
Caution period
Yamaganda Kaal
Usually avoided for journeys, ceremonies and important new starts.
Caution period
Gulika Kaal
Use extra care with new commitments; traditions treat this as a caution period.
Caution period
Varjyam
A window traditionally left out of auspicious starts. Derived from the ruling nakshatra, so it moves every day.
Caution period
Durmuhurta First
A short inauspicious span fixed by weekday. Usually avoided for beginnings; ordinary work continues.
Caution period
Nisheeth Kaal
The middle of the night, used for night observances such as Maha Shivratri rather than for daily planning.
Where the nine grahas are
Planetary positions at sunrise
Sidereal positions using the Lahiri ayanamsa — the same longitudes the tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana above are calculated from, read at the same instant.
| Graha | Rashi | Degree | Nakshatra | Pada | Motion |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sun | Leo ruled by Sun |
8° 35' 16" | Magha | 3 | Direct |
| Moon | Capricorn ruled by Saturn |
13° 39' 17" | Shravana | 2 | Direct |
| Mars | Gemini ruled by Mercury |
15° 20' 39" | Ardra | 3 | Direct |
| Mercury | Leo ruled by Sun |
6° 52' 57" | Magha | 3 | Direct |
| Jupiter | Cancer ruled by Moon |
18° 12' 02" | Ashlesha | 1 | Direct |
| Venus | Virgo ruled by Mercury |
23° 57' 24" | Chitra | 1 | Direct |
| Saturn | Pisces ruled by Jupiter |
19° 45' 43" | Revati | 1 | Retrograde |
| Rahu | Aquarius ruled by Saturn |
5° 23' 19" | Dhanishta | 4 | Retrograde |
| Ketu | Leo ruled by Sun |
5° 23' 19" | Magha | 2 | Retrograde |
Rahu and Ketu are the lunar nodes, not bodies, and move backwards by definition — their retrogression is what they are rather than a phase they are passing through.
Eight day periods, eight night periods

Nalla Neram · the Tamil good-time table
Gowri Panchangam
The South Indian scheme, read on the same eight day parts and eight night parts as the Choghadiya above. Five of its eight periods are the Nalla Neram — the "good time" a Tamil almanac prints — and three are avoided.
Day · 6:01 AM to 7:03 PM
| Period | Time | What it is commonly used for |
|---|---|---|
| Laabam | – | Gain. Commonly used for trade, collections and practical dealings. |
| Dhanam | – | Wealth. Used for money matters, purchases and anything you want to hold. |
| Sugam | – | Ease. Suits travel, rest, visits and errands you want to go smoothly. |
| Soram | – | Sorrow. Traditionally avoided for beginnings, ceremonies and celebrations. |
| Visham | – | Poison — the Rahu part. Avoided for anything important. |
| Uthi | – | Effort and enterprise. Suits work you mean to push forward rather than begin gently. |
| Amirdha | – | The strongest part of the Tamil scheme, used for anything meant to last. |
| Rogam | – | Illness. Traditionally avoided for health-sensitive work and for new starts. |
Night · sunset to next sunrise

|---|---|---|
| Uthi | – | Effort and enterprise. Suits work you mean to push forward rather than begin gently. |

| Soram | – | Sorrow. Traditionally avoided for beginnings, ceremonies and celebrations. |
| Visham | – | Poison — the Rahu part. Avoided for anything important. |
Gowri Panchangam and Choghadiya divide the day identically and name the parts differently, so a period can be favourable in one scheme and not the other. That is a real disagreement between two traditions, not a calculation error — both are shown rather than blended.
All 24 planetary hours
Hora schedule
Each daylight and night span is divided into twelve equal planetary hours, so a Hora is not always sixty minutes.

Common questions
About today's Panchang
What is today's tithi in Jammu?
Trayodashi was running at sunrise, which is what names the Vedic day. Chaturdashi is running now.
What time is sunrise in Jammu today?
Sunrise is 6:01 AM and sunset is 7:03 PM in Jammu today. Every window on this page is measured from that sunrise, not from midnight.
Which nakshatra is the Moon in today?
The Moon is in Shravana nakshatra at sunrise in Jammu, with Saubhagya yoga and Taitila karana.
Why does this Panchang differ from one printed elsewhere?
Panchang timings are computed from local sunrise, so they differ by city, and a printed almanac may use a different reckoning for the lunar month. This page states which reckoning it uses and shows both.
How these times are calculated
Method, scope and limits
Location first
Sunrise and sunset are calculated from Swiss Ephemeris for Jammu at 32.7266, 74.857, using Asia/Kolkata.
Sunrise snapshot
The five limbs begin with the values active at local sunrise. The first Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana changes are calculated above; Vara changes at the next sunrise.
Proportional day divisions
Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda and Gulika use the traditional weekday segment of eight equal daylight parts. Abhijit uses the middle one-fifteenth of measured daylight. Choghadiya uses eight parts and Hora uses twelve.
Calendar convention matters
The Hindu month is a lunation, not the Sun's sign renamed. Both conventions are published above because they name the same day differently through the waning half: a Purnimanta month ends at the full Moon, an Amanta month at the new Moon. A lunation with no Sankranti is an Adhika (intercalary) month and is labelled as one. Festival and fasting dates are not published here yet.
Panchang is a traditional planning framework, not a guarantee of outcomes. For weddings, surgery, legal filings or major financial decisions, use an activity-specific personal muhurta and qualified professional advice.
