Period ruled by Yama (Lord of Death). Avoid important meetings, travel, and major decisions.
Yamaganda, also known as Yamagandam or Yama Ghantaka, is an inauspicious period in Vedic astrology associated with Lord Yama, the deity of death and dharma. Like Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda is a daily occurring period of approximately 90 minutes that is considered unfavorable for starting new activities.
The word "Yama" refers to the Lord of Death, and "Ganda" means knot or obstacle, together signifying a period of potential difficulties and hindrances. While the name might sound ominous, Yamaganda simply represents a time when cosmic energies are not aligned favorably for new beginnings.
Similar to Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda doesn't affect ongoing activities or routine work. It specifically advises against initiating important ventures, ceremonies, or decisions during this window.
Yamaganda is an important consideration in traditional Hindu panchang and is consulted before scheduling important events. The timing is calculated similarly to Rahu Kaal but falls at different periods of the day depending on the weekday. Ancient Vedic scholars advised avoiding this period to ensure smooth progress in endeavors.
Yamaganda is calculated by dividing the daytime (sunrise to sunset) into 8 equal periods. The period varies by weekday: Monday (6th), Tuesday (4th), Wednesday (3rd), Thursday (2nd), Friday (7th), Saturday (1st), Sunday (5th).
Sunday: 5th period (midday)
Monday: 6th period (afternoon)
Tuesday: 4th period (late morning)
Wednesday: 3rd period (mid-morning)
Thursday: 2nd period (early morning)
Friday: 7th period (late afternoon)
Saturday: 1st period (morning, after sunrise)
