Panchang Today is your steady daily guide to plan work, worship, travel, study, and family commitments with better timing and clearer intention. It isn’t only about “good time” and “bad time”, it’s about living in rhythm with the Moon’s mood, the Nakshatra’s nature, and the quiet discipline of the Hindu calendar.
When you follow Panchang, you stay close to cultural roots, and you also make sharper, more mindful decisions in ordinary life. A day can feel smooth like a river, or sticky like summer heat, depending on the energies in play. Below are the important Panchang details for April 25, 2026 for India:
Date & Day Details
Date & Day DetailsSaturday carries a stern, practical tone, it asks for patience, duty, and simple honest effort. Today’s Tithi is Shukla Paksh 9 (Navami), which lasts until 18:28:14, after that Shukla Paksh 10 (Dasami) begins.
Navami in the bright half has a forward push. The Moon is growing stronger each day, so intentions gain weight, and promises feel binding. It’s a day to be courageous, but not reckless. Think of it like planting a sapling, you can plant it, yes, but you must water it and protect it too.The Nakshatra is Ashlesha until 20:04:45, and then Magha takes over. Ashlesha is ruled by the serpent deities, the Nagas. It is sharp, watchful, and emotionally intense.
This star rewards research, negotiating tricky matters, and getting to the truth behind someone’s words. It can also make people clingy or suspicious, so keep your tone clean, and don’t read insults where none exist. If you have a difficult conversation pending in the family or with a colleague, handle it with calm facts, not with loaded emotion.
After 20:04:45, Magha begins, guided by the Pitrs, the ancestral line.
That shift often brings a desire for dignity, respect, and doing things the “right way”. Evening energy becomes more formal. Good for family responsibility, elders, and any act that honours your roots.The Moon sign is Cancer 21.51 until 20:04:45, then it moves into Leo. Cancer Moon days make people more sensitive, more protective, sometimes moody. You’ll notice it in small places, how someone reacts to a message, or how you react to a delayed plan.
Once the Moon enters Leo after 20:04:45, the emotional climate changes. People want recognition, clarity, and a bit of authority. Useful for setting boundaries, but avoid ego battles.Yoga for the day is Ganda until 23:43:18, then Vriddhi begins. Ganda can feel like a knot in the rope, it’s not ideal for brand new beginnings, because it brings stop start movement and sudden distractions. Vriddhi, as the name suggests, supports growth.
If you can, keep big launches for later, and spend the earlier part of the day fixing what’s already on your plate.Karan also adds texture. Balava continues until 06:50:53, then Kaulava runs until 18:28:14, followed by Taitila. These karans favour routine work, coordination, and practical follow through. Not flashy. Productive, if you stay focused.

Inauspicious Timings
Inauspicious TimingsRahu Kaal today is 08:41 to 10:18. Rahu Kaal is the shadowy stretch, where confusion rises and judgement slips.
You may feel rushed, or you may feel unusually stubborn. Don’t start new ventures in this window, don’t buy expensive items, and don’t sign fresh contracts. Keep your wallet closed today, at least during this patch. If you must work, do routine tasks, reply to non critical emails, clean up pending files, or travel with extra buffer.A good do? Sit for five minutes and chant Rahu mantra, “Om Raam Rahave Namaha”. Even a short round brings steadiness.
Meditation and simple breathwork suit Rahu Kaal well, because they cut through mental fog.The inauspicious timing list also shows rahu_kaal from 2026-04-25 08:40:54 to 2026-04-25 10:18:19. It aligns with the same Rahu influence, so treat that entire span as sensitive.Gulika Kaal is from 2026-04-25 05:26:05 to 2026-04-25 07:03:29. This time is better kept for routine chores, not for first time starts. Use it for exercise, cleaning, organising, and simple planning.Dur Muhurtam runs from 2026-04-25 07:09:57 to 2026-04-25 08:01:57. Avoid confrontations and avoid risky travel decisions in this slice. If a meeting can be shifted, shift it.Varjyam appears from 2026-04-25 08:57:45 to 2026-04-25 10:28:52. This overlaps with Rahu Kaal, so double caution. Varjyam is like a brief “do not disturb” sign from the stars. Avoid important purchases, avoid lending money, and avoid announcing big news.Yamaganda is from 2026-04-25 13:33:09 to 2026-04-25 15:10:34. Use it for steady work, but don’t begin new commitments. Keep discussions simple and avoid emotional bargaining.Baana (Mrityu) is active from 2026-04-25 05:26:05 to 2026-04-25 15:45:05, and Baana (Agni) from 2026-04-25 15:45:05 to 2026-04-26 05:25:16. These are cautionary indicators. It doesn’t mean fear, it means avoid careless speed, avoid arguments, and be mindful with heat, tools, and driving.There are also longer inauspicious yogas: aadal_yoga from 2026-04-25 05:26:05 to 2026-04-25 20:04:45, mrityu_yoga from 2026-04-25 18:29:05 to 2026-04-26 05:25:05, and vidaal_yoga from 2026-04-25 20:05:45 to 2026-04-26 05:25:16. That’s why today needs both faith and common sense. Use the strong Shubh windows for key actions, and keep the rest of the day for maintenance and discipline.From Choghadiya, daytime inauspicious periods include Kaal @ 05:26, Rog @ 08:41, Udveg @ 10:18, and Kaal @ 16:47.
At night, watch for Udveg @ 19:47, Rog @ 25:18, and Kaal @ 26:40. If you can’t avoid them, keep your actions simple and your words measured.
Rahu Kaal Timings Across India
Rahu Kaal Timings Across IndiaRahu Kaal changes from place to place across India because it is calculated using local sunrise. Sunrise is not the same everywhere, longitude shifts it, so the Rahu Kaal window also shifts even on the same date. That’s why you’ll see different Rahu Kaal timings across major locations in the country.

Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise & Moonset
Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise & MoonsetSunrise is at 05:26:49, and sunset is at 18:25:18. In Panchang, sunrise is more than a clock time, it’s the day’s first spiritual door. If you can step into it with a small prayer, a glass of water offered to the Sun in your heart, and a clear to do list, the day tends to obey you instead of dragging you.Sunset at 18:25:18 is the day’s gentle full stop. It’s a good moment to slow down, wash your face, switch on a diya if you do that at home, and let the mind come back from noise. Saturdays can make people carry burdens without noticing. Sunset reminds you to set some of that load down.Moonrise is at 12:42:30 PM. With the Moon in Cancer for most of the day, moonrise can stir feelings under the surface. You may think you’re fine, then a small comment pinches.
Observe, don’t react. Moonset is at 02:10:51 AM, Apr 26, and by then the mind wants closure. Finish your day with a small act of order, folding clothes, writing tomorrow’s top three tasks, or a short prayer. Sleep comes easier after that.
Vrat/Festival Information & Recommendations
Vrat/Festival Information & RecommendationsSita Navami is observed today. It falls in the Hindu month of Vaishakha (amanta), and it celebrates the divine birth of Goddess Sita, the embodiment of grace, steadiness, and inner strength.
In the Ramayana tradition, Sita emerges from the earth in King Janaka’s field, not merely as a royal child but as a sacred promise, that purity and courage can live together in one heart. That symbolism matters even now. She is softness with steel inside.Across India, families remember Sita as a daughter, a wife, and a woman who held her dignity even when life turned rough. Many devotees worship Sita with Shri Ram, and some also honour Janaki as a form of Shakti who teaches self respect without loudness.
If you’re keeping the day simply, offer flowers, light a lamp in the evening, and read a small portion of the Ramcharitmanas or any Ramayana passage you connect with. Even one page, done with attention, changes the mood of the home.Food and fasting customs vary by household, but the spirit stays the same. Keep your meal clean, keep your words cleaner. Offer something sweet, homemade if possible, and share it. Charity also suits Sita Navami, giving to women’s welfare, children’s education, or to someone who needs basic support.Now, practical recommendations for today, shaped by Shukla Paksh 9 (Navami), Ashlesha’s intensity, and the Moon’s shift from Cancer to Leo at 20:04:45.For relationships, stay gentle in the first half. Cancer Moon can make you protective, and Ashlesha can make you hold on too tight. So ask yourself, am I trying to help, or am I trying to control? Keep family discussions factual. If something hurts, pause before replying.
After 20:04:45, when Leo begins, ego can flare. Choose respect over winning.For career and work, this is a strong day for clearing pending tasks and taking decisive steps inside safe windows. Your boss will notice consistent effort, not dramatic speeches. Avoid starting big risky ventures during Rahu Kaal 08:41 to 10:18, and also stay cautious around the overlap of varjyam 2026-04-25 08:57:45 to 2026-04-25 10:28:52.
Use Abhijit Muhurta and Vijay Muhurta for the toughest calls and the most important meetings.For spiritual practice, Sita Navami gives a simple path. Choose one action and do it fully. A lamp at dusk, a sincere prayer, a short reading, or quiet japa. If your mind is scattered, use the Rahu mantra “Om Raam Rahave Namaha” during the Rahu influence, then return to your main devotion.End your day like a gardener. Water what you want to grow, and pull out the weeds of gossip and impulse. Keep one important task for the Shubh window, keep one honest conversation for the evening, and keep ten minutes for prayer. Actionable advice for today, write down three priorities before noon, avoid new financial commitments during 08:41 to 10:18, and light a lamp at home in the evening with a simple prayer to Sita and Ram for steadiness and self respect.
