Your today's Panchang for Ujjain, India on Tuesday, October 24, 2023 shows Dashami in Shukla Paksha and with Moon in Dhanishtha Nakshatra. Check the details below for auspicious timings and spiritual guidance.

Today's Yoga and Karana

Today's Yoga is Ganda, active until 3:38 PM. Yoga comes from the combined position of the Sun and Moon. There are 27 Yogas, and they affect how auspicious different time periods are.

The current Karana is Gara, which lasts until 3:14 PM. Karana is half of a Tithi. It's important for timing business deals, travel, and daily tasks. There are 11 types of Karanas, each suitable for different activities.

Sun and Moon Timings for Ujjain

In Ujjain today, sunrise is at 6:27 AM and sunset is at 5:54 PM. Moonrise is at 2:58 PM and moonset is at 2:38 AM.

These timings matter because they determine all the Panchang calculations. Hindu tradition divides the day between sunrise and sunset into different Muhurtas (time periods), each good for specific activities. Brahma Muhurta, about 96 minutes before sunrise, is especially good for meditation and spiritual practice.

Zodiac Positions

The Sun is in Tula (Rashi) and the Moon is in Kumbha. Right now we're in the Dakshinayana period. The current season (Ritu) is Sharad Ritu, which affects health practices and religious observances.

Hindu Calendar Dates

In the traditional Hindu calendar, today is:

• Vikram Samvat: Vikram Samvat 2080
• Shaka Samvat: Shaka Samvat 1945
• Purnimanta Month: 25, Ashwina
• Amanta Month: 10, Ashwina

These calendar systems are still used across India to decide festival dates and auspicious occasions.

Why Location Matters for Panchang

We calculated this Panchang specifically for Ujjain using your exact coordinates and timezone. This matters because sunrise and sunset times change based on where you are. A Panchang for Delhi won't give accurate timings for Mumbai or New York.

Using the wrong location can cause errors of several minutes to hours. This makes the auspicious timings wrong. Location-specific calculations ensure the timings match the actual astronomical events at your place.

How to Use This Information

Use the Panchang to time your important activities. Different times of day have different qualities according to Vedic tradition. Check the Panchang before starting new ventures, doing spiritual practices, or making big decisions.

The five elements (Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana, and Vara) together show the nature of each day. This system has been used for thousands of years and continues to guide millions of people in their daily lives.
