Shukravara · Krishna Amavasya
Purva Phalguni nakshatra with Krishna Amavasya. Prefer Abhijit Muhurta and avoid Rahu Kalam 10:46–12:18.
Panchang for Bengaluru ·
The five angas
The five limbs the panchang is named for. Each turns at its own moment rather than at midnight, so the end time matters as much as the name.
How the day is reckoned
The year, the half-year, the season and the month this day sits inside — the frame a sankalpa is spoken in.
The two month reckonings differ today. Inside a krishna paksha the amanta month (ending at the new moon) and the purnimanta month (ending at the full moon) carry different names for the same day — both are given above, and your family follows one of them.

Windows to keep clear, and windows to use
Measured from this city's own sunrise and sunset, so they are not the same as a printed almanac for another city.
When to begin something new
Opening a shop, starting a business, a launch, a vehicle, gold or a home — the good dates and times for it, from the classical muhurta rules and this place’s own sky.
- Business & shop opening
- Brand or product launch
- Vehicle purchase
- Gold & jewellery
- Property purchase
- Big purchase
- New job
- Signing a deal
Today · Brand or product launch
Today is not one of the better days for brand or product launch. The next good dates are alongside.
- · Purva Phalguni is Ugra (fierce) — set aside for new beginnings
- · Amavasya — kept for ancestral rites, not beginnings
- · Shukravar, ruled by Shukra, suits it

A launch goes out into the world: Kshipra and Chara nakshatras, Budha for word and reach, Surya for renown. Rahu kalam, Yamaganda and Gulika are cut out of every time shown. These are the classical rules for the day itself; your own birth chart can matter too — ask a Pandit · free.
Choghadiya
The day and the night each divided into eight parts, every one carried by a graha. This is what most families actually check before setting out.
Hora
Twenty-four equal parts of sunrise to sunrise, each ruled by a graha in the Chaldean order — which is why the weekdays are named as they are.
Every festival, in your own calendar
Add it once and your calendar keeps itself current — it re-reads this list every six hours, so a corrected or newly announced date arrives on its own.
The next thirty days
Ekadashi, Pradosha, Amavasya, Purnima and the sankrantis ahead — each dated by the rule it actually follows, because those rules genuinely disagree about the calendar day more often than people expect.
