Hindu Panchang Guru

Most of the day is Shukla Dwadashi. Dwadashi is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and is highly auspicious for spiritual practices, fasting, charity, seeking blessings from elders, and performing rituals for prosperity and protection. It is also known as 'Govinda Dwadashi'. Avoid travel in the North direction. After 17:51 IST, Shukla Trayodashi begins, which is good for seeking power, conquering enemies, and specific Shiva-related religious rites, though it can carry a more intense energy.

Most of the day is under Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra, ruled by Jupiter and symbolically represented by a two-faced man or a sword. Its ruling deity is Ajaikapada, a form of Rudra (Shiva), signifying fierce, intense, and transformative energy. This Nakshatra is associated with purification, penance, deep spiritual practices, esoteric knowledge, and letting go of old patterns. It can bring intensity and a dualistic nature. It is excellent for meditation, self-discipline, and confronting inner challenges, but less ideal for gentle new beginnings or superficial activities.

Shoola Yoga, meaning 'Spear' or 'Thorn', is considered inauspicious for starting new ventures, negotiations, or any activity requiring smooth progress. Actions initiated during this Yoga may encounter obstacles, conflicts, or 'pricking' situations. It is better suited for confronting enemies, undertaking difficult or strenuous tasks, or concluding long-standing issues.

From sunrise until 17:51 IST, Balava Karana prevails. Balava is generally auspicious for religious ceremonies, performing good deeds, commencing new ventures, and seeking blessings. After 17:51 IST, Kaulava Karana begins. Kaulava is considered suitable for social activities, making friends, engaging in sensual pleasures, and certain festive occasions.

Monday (Somvar) is ruled by the Moon (Chandra), representing emotions, mind, nurturing, and public life. It is generally considered auspicious for activities related to travel (especially by water), arts, healing, initiating emotional connections, purchasing silver or items of comfort, and dealing with the public. It supports activities requiring peace and harmony.
