Today's Panchang (Oct 29): Abhijit Muhurat, Amritkaal and Dishashool
Panchang, the traditional Hindu calendar system, continues to guide many people in planning their daily routines. It is calculated using the positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets, and it helps determine the best times for worship, travel, business, and other key activities. Here are the important details for Thursday, October 29.
The Krishna Paksha Chaturthi tithi will begin at 1:07 AM on Thursday and end at 10:10 PM. After that, the Krishna Paksha Panchami tithi will start and continue until 7:25 PM on October 30.
The day will see sunrise at 6:34 AM and sunset at 5:46 PM. Moonrise will take place at 8:33 PM, while moonset will be at 10:52 AM on the following day.
The Sun will be positioned in the Swati Nakshatra. This nakshatra is governed by Pavan Dev and ruled by Rahu, and astrologers say its influence encourages self-reliance and freedom from long-standing burdens.
Parigha Yoga will last until 12:05 AM, after which Shiva Yoga begins. Parigha, the 19th of the 27 nitya yogas, is traditionally considered an obstructive yoga, while its ruling deity is Vishwakarma and its planetary governor is Saturn.
The day's most auspicious window, Abhijit Muhurat, will run from 11:48 AM to 12:33 PM. Amrit Kaal, considered highly beneficial for new beginnings, will occur from 8:17 AM to 9:44 AM. Both periods are widely regarded as suitable for important work and investment decisions.
Rahu Kaal will be observed from 1:34 PM to 2:58 PM, when starting new tasks is discouraged. Yamaganda Kaal will fall between 6:34 AM and 7:58 AM, a time linked to health and misfortune concerns. Gulik Kaal, sometimes called the poisonous period, will run from 9:22 AM to 10:46 AM, when ongoing work can continue but fresh initiatives are better postponed.
The Sun will remain in Libra, a sign where it is considered debilitated, which may reduce confidence and make decisions difficult. The Moon, meanwhile, will stay in Taurus through the day and night, a position believed to promote calmness and emotional stability. Dishashool will be in the south, so travelers should avoid heading in that direction.
