Mark your calendars for April 22, as Skanda Shashti brings a powerhouse of celestial alignments led by Ravi Yoga. This Wednesday honors Lord Kartikeya, the six-headed warrior god born to Shiva and Parvati, celebrated fervently in Hindu tradition during Vaishakha Shukla Shashti.
Panchang highlights reveal sunrise at 5:49 AM and sunset by 6:51 PM. Shashti tithi holds steady until late night at 10:49 PM. Ardra Nakshatra concludes at 10:13 PM, ushering in Punarvasu for the night’s end.
Ravi Yoga dominates the day from 5:49 AM to 10:13 PM, a golden stretch for weddings, business launches, or spiritual rites. No Abhijit Muhurat today, but Vijay Muhurat shines from 2:30 PM to 3:22 PM, perfect for triumphs. Catch Amrit Kaal between 12:57 PM and 2:26 PM for fruitful outcomes.
Brahma Muhurat offers pre-dawn serenity from 4:21 AM to 5:05 AM, ideal for meditation. As dusk falls, Godhuli Muhurat from 6:50 PM to 7:12 PM evokes peaceful vibes.
Beware the shadows: Rahu Kaal looms from 12:20 PM to 1:58 PM—postpone key decisions. Yamaganda from 7:27 AM to 9:04 AM and Gulika from 10:42 AM to 12:20 PM spell caution. Dur Muhurat (11:54 AM-12:46 PM) and Vyarjyam (7:45 AM-9:14 AM) are no-gos.
This panchang serves as your guide to harnessing April 22’s energies. Devotees fasting for Skanda Shashti can amplify their vows by timing rituals precisely, inviting Lord Kartikeya’s protection and victory into their lives.
