Panchang Today is your steady compass for the day, drawn from the lunar calendar and the quiet mathematics of the sky. It helps you plan with precision, from choosing the right moment for a new start to knowing when to simply pause and breathe.
In India, this wisdom keeps us connected to our cultural roots, even on a busy Sunday, and it nudges us to act with more awareness in work, family, and prayer. The Moon’s mood, the Nakshatra’s nature, and the day’s yogas together shape the day’s tone. Below are the important Panchang details for April 26, 2026 for India:
Date & Day Details
Date & Day DetailsSunday carries the bright stamp of Surya, the Sun, and it naturally suits courage, self-respect, leadership decisions, and doing what you’ve been postponing.
The Panchang adds more colour to that promise. Today’s Tithi is Shukla Paksh 10 (Dasami), which lasts until 18:07:07, after which Shukla Paksh 11 (Ekadasi) begins. Shukla Dashami is like a river that has gathered speed after the bends of Navami, moving towards steadier ground.
It supports disciplined effort, sincere commitments, cleaning up pending tasks, and setting firm boundaries. It’s also a good phase for strengthening your routine, your health plan, and your home order.
Still, because it’s a waxing Moon day, emotions can rise with ambition. So do the right thing, but don’t force outcomes.The Nakshatra is Magha, running until 20:27:06, and then the sky shifts into P.Phalguni. Magha is linked with the Pitris, the ancestors, and it carries a royal, traditional, root-bound energy. It favours acts that honour lineage and responsibilities, like seeking elders’ blessings, remembering family values, tidying family paperwork, or simply repairing a strained bond.
It also supports positions of authority, long-term planning, and dignified work.
Ask yourself, are you doing things only for applause, or for meaning? Magha prefers meaning. After 20:27:06, P.Phalguni brings a softer, more relational flavour, encouraging comfort, friendship, and gentler conversations. If the day feels stern earlier, the evening becomes more forgiving.The Moon stays in Leo 5.9 today, and the Moon sign transition into Virgo comes later, at 28/04/2026 03:35:44.
Leo Moon days are proud and warm. People want recognition, they want to be heard, they want their effort to be seen. This can be a wonderful boost for confidence, fitness, stage-facing work, and leadership at home. It can also trigger ego clashes, especially in family groups or team discussions. Choose dignity over drama.Yoga today is Vriddhi, until 22:27:48, followed by Dhruva. Vriddhi suggests growth, expansion, and building momentum.
It’s good for learning, planning, and widening your reach, but it can also enlarge small issues if you keep poking them. The Karan begins with Taitila until 06:13:44 and then Gara until 18:07:07, followed by Vanij. These karans generally support practical work, steady progress, and commerce minded activities, especially once the morning settles.
The cosmic message is simple, grow with discipline. Don’t grow your worries.
Auspicious Timings (Shubh Muhurat)
Auspicious Timings (Shubh Muhurat)The day offers several clean windows where effort feels supported, like a breeze pushing a sailboat in the right direction. Start with Brahma Muhurta from 2026-04-26 03:57:24 to 2026-04-26 04:41:20. This is the quiet hour before the world wakes up, when the mind is less cluttered. Use it for japa, study, or writing down your intentions. Even 15 minutes of focused prayer here can soften the rest of the day.Pratah Sandhya runs from 2026-04-26 04:19:22 to 2026-04-26 05:25:16, ideal for Surya arghya, light stretching, and setting a calm rhythm for the household. With Sunday’s solar theme, this morning practice feels extra relevant.Abhijit Muhurta falls at midday, from 2026-04-26 11:29:44 to 2026-04-26 12:21:48. This is a classic “get it done” slot for key calls, signing routine approvals, submitting applications, or starting a serious study session.
If you’ve been delaying a hard conversation, this period can bring clarity, provided you speak with respect.Vijay Muhurta, from 2026-04-26 14:05:56 to 2026-04-26 14:58:00, is good for competitive efforts. Think interviews, negotiations, exams, and pitching your idea to someone senior. Push with confidence, but don’t overpromise.Amrit Kalam appears from 2026-04-26 18:00:49 to 2026-04-26 19:38:13. It’s a sweet, nourishing window, good for family time, prayers, and healing conversations.
Note that the day’s energies are mixed near evening, so keep plans simple and pure.Siddha Yoga runs from 2026-04-26 18:07:55 to 2026-04-27 05:24:28, and Ravi Yoga is from 2026-04-26 05:25:16 to 2026-04-26 20:26:55. These are supportive for meaningful work, learning, and sincere beginnings, especially those that align with truth and duty.Gोधूलि Muhurta is from 2026-04-26 18:25:54 to 2026-04-26 18:47:52, and Sayahana Sandhya continues from 2026-04-26 18:25:54 to 2026-04-26 19:31:48.
Use this dusk period for lighting a lamp, evening prayers, and calming the home atmosphere.At night, Nishita Muhurta from 2026-04-26 23:33:26 to 2026-04-27 00:17:22 suits deeper sadhana, mantra, or quiet introspection.Choghadiya also offers handy cues. During the day, look towards Laabh @ 08:40, Amrit @ 10:18, and Shubh @ 13:33 for supportive momentum. At night, Shubh @ 18:25, Amrit @ 19:48, Laabh @ 25:17, and Shubh @ 28:02 can be used for prayer, study, or orderly planning.
Inauspicious Timings
Inauspicious TimingsRahu Kaal today is from 16:48 to 18:25. This period is traditionally avoided for launching new ventures, signing contracts, making big-ticket purchases, or taking irreversible decisions. Rahu’s energy tends to blur judgement. It can make small temptations look like golden opportunities. If you must work during this time, keep it routine. Do admin, clear emails, tidy your desk, or finish what is already in motion.A good remedy during Rahu Kaal is inward focus. Sit for a few minutes, breathe steadily, and chant “Om Raam Rahave Namaha”. It brings the mind back from restlessness. Avoid lending money, avoid impulsive online shopping, and don’t pick a fight at home. Let things cool.For those who prefer precise Panchang markings, the inauspicious listing shows rahu_kaal from 2026-04-26 16:48:19 to 2026-04-26 18:25:54. Gulika Kaal is marked as gulkai_kaal from 2026-04-26 15:10:44 to 2026-04-26 16:48:19.
Gulika can create delays and miscommunication, so avoid sending a risky message or taking a hasty decision in this slot. Yamaganda runs from 2026-04-26 11:55:35 to 2026-04-26 13:33:09, another window where you should skip fresh beginnings and focus on maintenance work.Dur Muhurtam appears twice, from 2026-04-26 06:17:20 to 2026-04-26 07:09:20 and again from 2026-04-26 16:42:08 to 2026-04-26 17:34:08. These periods are best kept low-key.
Don’t schedule a first meeting, don’t propose a new plan, and don’t escalate an argument. If you’re commuting then, leave a little early and keep your temper in check.There is also baana (Agni) from 2026-04-26 05:25:16 to 2026-04-26 16:24:16. This points to a heat-prone, reactive tone through much of the day, so handle tools, kitchen work, and sharp speech carefully. In the late night to early morning stretch, varjyam runs from 2026-04-27 04:44:55 to 2026-04-27 06:20:39, best reserved for rest, prayer, or quiet routine, not for risky decisions.The inauspicious list also mentions mrityu_yoga from 2026-04-26 18:08:16 to 2026-04-27 05:24:16 and vidaal_yoga from 2026-04-26 05:25:16 to 2026-04-26 20:26:55. These indicate that energy can swing between confidence and carelessness. So even when you feel lucky, keep your feet on the ground.Choghadiya inauspicious periods are also worth respecting, Udveg @ 05:25, Kaal @ 11:55, Rog @ 15:10, and Udveg @ 16:48 during the day.
At night, Rog @ 22:33, Kaal @ 23:55, and Udveg @ 26:40 are better used for winding down, not for starting something new.

Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise & Moonset
Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise & MoonsetSunrise is at 05:25:58 and sunset is at 18:25:46. That’s a generous stretch of daylight, a full working canvas even on a Sunday. If you’re doing Surya-related practices, today suits a simple discipline: wake up, wash your face, offer water to the Sun, and stand quietly for a minute. The mind becomes steadier. The body feels more awake.The Moon rises at 01:41:41 PM, bringing the emotional tone into clearer view during the afternoon.
With the Moon in Leo, you may notice people wanting attention, wanting appreciation, wanting their voice to matter. Give sincere praise where it is due. It costs nothing and it softens the atmosphere at home.Moonset is at 02:43:54 AM, Apr 27. Late-night hours can feel reflective, even a little intense, especially with Magha’s ancestral mood and Sunday’s solar pride. If sleep is light, don’t fight it. Read a few pages of something uplifting, chant softly, or just slow your breathing.
Like a lake settling after wind, the mind also becomes clear when you stop stirring it.
Vrat/Festival Information & Recommendations
Vrat/Festival Information & RecommendationsNo major Vrat or festival is observed today. The Hindu month is Vaishakha, a time known for clarity, inner cleansing, and steady dharma, like summer sunlight that shows you exactly where dust has collected. Even without a festival marker, this day has a strong Panchang personality. Shukla Paksh 10 (Dasami) encourages discipline and forward motion, while Magha Nakshatra asks you to remember your roots, your elders, and your responsibilities.
A good day to act mature, even in small matters.For relationships, keep ego in check. The Leo Moon can make you react if you feel ignored. Don’t test people. Don’t keep score. If there’s tension at home, take the lead in restoring calm. A simple gesture works, make tea for someone, ask an elder how they’re feeling, or call a relative you’ve been postponing. Magha responds well to respect. After 20:27:06, when P.Phalguni begins, conversations can turn warmer.
Use that shift.
Say what you mean, but say it kindly.For career and work, Sunday may still bring responsibilities, calls, or planning. Use Abhijit Muhurta from 2026-04-26 11:29:44 to 2026-04-26 12:21:48 for clean, focused work. Vijay Muhurta from 2026-04-26 14:05:56 to 2026-04-26 14:58:00 is good for confident effort, like preparing next week’s schedule, polishing your presentation, or clearing a backlog that’s been bothering you.
Keep your wallet closed during Rahu Kaal from 16:48 to 18:25.
No risky buys, no sudden investments, no “limited offer” traps.Spiritually, today suits Surya practices and ancestral remembrance. If you can, offer a lamp at dusk during Godhuli Muhurta from 2026-04-26 18:25:54 to 2026-04-26 18:47:52, then sit quietly for a few minutes. If your mind feels restless, chant “Om Raam Rahave Namaha” during the late afternoon.
And in Brahma Muhurta from 2026-04-26 03:57:24 to 2026-04-26 04:41:20, even a short prayer can reset your inner weather.Let the day be like a well-watered plant, upright, steady, not overeager. Respect the inauspicious windows, use the auspicious ones for what matters, and keep your speech clean. Actionable advice for today: set one firm goal before noon, complete one pending task by evening, avoid all major financial decisions from 16:48 to 18:25, and end the day with a lamp and five quiet minutes of prayer.
