Shiva‑Parvati Worship on August 15: Muhurat, Rahukala and More

The Hindu Panchang for 15 August 2026 designates the day as Hariyali Teej, a festival centered on Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Married women undertake a fast to invoke their husband’s health and enduring good fortune.

Key celestial data: Sun rises at 6:07 AM and sets at 6:55 PM; Moon rises at 8:25 AM and sets at 8:43 PM. The Sun occupies the Ashlesha nakshatra throughout the day, while the Moon remains in Uttara Phalguni until 3:25 AM before moving into Hast.

Yoga overview: Harshan yoga is absent. Shiva yoga governs the early morning until 7:07 AM, after which Siddha yoga is in effect. The Abhijit Muhurat—a coveted window for worship and significant undertakings—spans 12:05 PM to 12:56 PM. Amrit Kal follows later at 8:17 PM‑9:52 PM.

The chart also marks three inauspicious phases: Rahukaala (9:19 AM‑10:55 AM), Gulika (6:07 AM‑7:43 AM) and Yamganda (2:07 PM‑3:43 PM). Traditional guidance advises postponing new ventures during these periods.

Astrological placement shows the Sun in Cancer and the Moon in Leo. The east direction is identified as Disha Shool, and both astrology and Vastu suggest avoiding travel toward that quadrant unless remedial measures are employed.
