How would the day feel for you
The day feels energetic, positive, and action-packed. People feel braver and less fearful. Healing energy is strong - both physical and emotional issues respond better. You might feel impatient - use that energy for productive work.
Muhurta Perspective for you
Ashwini is a Light (Laghu) nakshatra, great for quick, short-term activities. Very good for travel, healing, and fast actions. Not the best for permanent things like marriage (unless other factors help). Better for starting things than finishing them.

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.
