Panchang Today is your day’s quiet compass, drawn from the Hindu calendar’s lunar rhythms and time-tested spiritual wisdom. It helps you plan with precision, not by fear, but by awareness, so your efforts land on the right soil.
The Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karan together show the day’s mood, like reading the sky before a journey. Staying connected to these traditions also keeps our cultural roots alive while we make mindful decisions at home and at work. Below are the important Panchang details for March 20, 2026 for India:
Date & Day Details
Date & Day DetailsFriday carries Venus’s soft touch, and it suits harmony, beauty, repair work in relationships, and thoughtful spending.
The Moon’s story matters more today because we are in Shukla Paksh 2 (Dvitiya), a growing Moon phase. Shukla Paksh 2 (Dvitiya) builds momentum gently, like a sapling that has just taken root. It’s a good Tithi for starting small but meaningful actions, joining hands with others, and setting routines that need consistency.
This Tithi ends at 21/03/2026 02:31:02, after which Shukla Paksh 3 (Tritiya) begins, bringing a slightly more social and expressive flavour.
The Nakshatra is Revati, and it stays till 21/03/2026 02:27:47, then moves to Ashwini. Revati is guided by Pushan, the divine protector of travellers, shepherds, and those who guide others safely. So what does that mean in daily life? It favours safe movement, careful planning, mentoring, and closing loose ends with kindness. It’s also supportive for studies, counselling conversations, and anything that needs a steady hand rather than a loud voice.
As Revati shifts to Ashwini at 21/03/2026 02:27:47, the energy becomes quicker and more action-driven, like the first spark before sunrise. Ashwini is linked with the Ashwini Kumaras, healers and swift helpers, so late night and early morning can feel fast, practical, and focused on fixes.The Moon sign is Pisces 17.50, and it transitions to Aries at 21/03/2026 02:27:47. Pisces Moon makes people more sensitive and intuitive.
You might pick up moods in the room without anyone saying a word. Good for compassion, prayer, music, and creative thinking. Watch the tendency to postpone tasks, or to say yes when you should say no. After the shift to Aries, emotions become direct. You’ll want quick answers and quicker action.Today’s Yoga is Brahma, ending at 20/03/2026 22:14:57, then Indra begins. Brahma Yoga supports creation, fresh thinking, and clean starts.
Indra Yoga later brings confidence, leadership, and the desire to take charge. The Karan moves from Balava till 20/03/2026 15:43:43 to Kaulava till 21/03/2026 02:31:02, then Taitila follows. Balava is steady for routine work and practical steps. Kaulava supports agreements and teamwork, as long as expectations are clear.
Auspicious Timings (Shubh Muhurat)
Auspicious Timings (Shubh Muhurat)If you want a day that feels less rushed, begin with the early spiritual windows.
Brahma Muhurta runs from 2026-03-20 04:27:26 to 2026-03-20 05:14:54. This time is prized because the mind sits quietly, like a lake before the wind starts. Prayer, study, mantra, and planning your top three tasks for the day work well now.Pratah Sandhya is from 2026-03-20 04:51:10 to 2026-03-20 06:02:22. It’s ideal for Surya arghya, a short walk, breathwork, and setting a calm tone for family interactions. If you’re starting a new habit, start it here.
Simple, steady.Amrit Siddhi Yoga lasts from 2026-03-20 06:02:22 to 2026-03-21 02:27:26. This is a supportive stretch for important work, especially tasks that need clarity and goodwill. Still, use common sense and avoid mixing it with inauspicious pockets.Abhijit Muhurta is from 2026-03-20 11:41:38 to 2026-03-20 12:30:06. It’s traditionally a victory-giving mid-day window, good for interviews, sending proposals, or taking a decisive call.
Keep it clean and focused, one key action.Vijay Muhurta runs from 2026-03-20 14:07:02 to 2026-03-20 14:55:30. It suits competitive exams, client negotiations, or finishing a stubborn task. Godhuli Muhurta is from 2026-03-20 18:09:00 to 2026-03-20 18:32:44, perfect for evening diya, family prayer, or a gentle reset after work.Sayahana Sandhya runs from 2026-03-20 18:09:00 to 2026-03-20 19:20:12, good for gratitude, chanting, and avoiding pointless arguments at home.Nishita Muhurta is from 2026-03-20 23:41:16 to 2026-03-21 00:28:44, and Amrit Kalam from 2026-03-21 00:13:14 to 2026-03-21 01:42:42. These late hours support deeper sadhana, quiet journaling, and sincere prayers.Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga appears from 2026-03-21 02:28:26 to 2026-03-21 06:01:19, a strong window for tasks that you want to “stick” for the long term.Choghadiya also guides the day’s tone. Day auspicious periods are Laabh @ 07:34, Amrit @ 09:04, Shubh @ 12:06.

Inauspicious Timings
Inauspicious TimingsRahu Kaal today is from 10:35 to 12:06. Rahu’s influence can create confusion, haste, and the feeling of doing the right thing at the wrong time. So keep this window for routine work, filing, cleaning up emails, or quiet mantra. Chant “Om Raam Rahave Namaha” if you feel restless.
Avoid launching new ventures, signing contracts, lending money, or making big purchases in this period.

Treat it with the same caution.Gulika Kaal is from 2026-03-20 07:33:11 to 2026-03-20 09:04:01. Use this time for chores, travel planning, or tasks that don’t need a fresh start.
Yamaganda runs from 2026-03-20 15:07:20 to 2026-03-20 16:38:10. Don’t begin anything new then, and avoid confrontational meetings. If you must meet someone, keep it factual and short.Dur Muhurtam appears twice, from 2026-03-20 08:27:46 to 2026-03-20 09:15:46, and again from 2026-03-20 12:30:06 to 2026-03-20 13:18:06.

Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise & Moonset
Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise & MoonsetSunrise is at 06:03:22 and sunset is at 18:09:10. These two anchors frame your day like the banks of a river. If you can, greet the morning light for a minute, even from a balcony or window.
A short Surya namaskar or a simple “Om Suryaya Namaha” helps bring steadiness, especially under a Pisces Moon that can drift into daydreams.Moonrise happens at 06:34:55 AM and moonset at 07:34:58 PM. With the Moon rising soon after sunrise, emotions may sit close to the surface early in the day. You might feel things strongly over small matters, a delayed message, a sharp tone, an old memory. Don’t take every feeling as a final truth.
By evening, as the Moon heads toward moonset, the mind can settle, and family conversations can feel easier if you keep your ego out of the room.Use the day and night cycle as a simple practice. Do active work in the bright hours. Keep the last hour before sleep quieter, so tomorrow begins without mental leftovers.
Vrat/Festival Information & Recommendations
Vrat/Festival Information & RecommendationsNo major Vrat or festival is observed today.We are in the Hindu month of Chaitra (amanta), a month that carries the scent of beginnings.
Even without a festival, Chaitra days invite gentle discipline, like tending a small garden daily rather than doing everything in one big burst.For relationships, Revati Nakshatra asks for care in your words. Don’t assume people understand your intention. Say it plainly. A small apology, a check-in call with parents, or simply listening without interrupting can change the mood at home. If you’re single, keep expectations realistic.
A calm conversation beats dramatic signals.At work, use Shukla Paksh 2 (Dvitiya) for building structure. Fix your schedule, clear pending approvals, and keep your desk and digital files in order. If you’ve been postponing a practical job, like submitting a form, following up on a bill, or confirming a meeting, do it. Your boss will notice consistent output more than big talk. Avoid starting risky deals during Rahu Kaal from 10:35 to 12:06, and don’t get pulled into office gossip in the Dur Muhurtam windows.For money matters, stay conservative. Pisces Moon can make you generous, and sometimes too soft. Pay essentials, plan the month, and postpone luxury buys. If someone pressures you for a quick financial decision, step back. You can always respond later.Spiritually, today supports simple practices done with sincerity. A short morning prayer in Pratah Sandhya from 2026-03-20 04:51:10 to 2026-03-20 06:02:22, a diya at Godhuli Muhurta from 2026-03-20 18:09:00 to 2026-03-20 18:32:44, and five minutes of mantra during stress can be enough.
If sleep doesn’t come easily, use Nishita Muhurta from 2026-03-20 23:41:16 to 2026-03-21 00:28:44 for quiet chanting or journaling.The sky’s message is gentle but firm. Grow steadily, protect your peace, and don’t rush where timing asks you to wait. Actionable advice: choose one important task to complete before noon, avoid new commitments during 10:35 to 12:06, and end the day with a lamp, a glass of water, and a clear plan for tomorrow.
