Panchang Today is your steady daily compass, drawn from the Hindu calendar’s living wisdom. It helps you plan with precision, not just by the clock, but by the Moon’s mood, the nakshatra’s nature, and the day’s spiritual rhythm. Some days push you to act fast, some ask you to slow down and remember what truly matters. Staying connected to these cycles keeps you rooted in culture, and it also makes decision making calmer and cleaner. Even small choices like when to start a meeting, buy something, or sit for prayer can feel smoother. Below are the important Panchang details for September 30, 2026 for India: Date & Day Details Date & Day DetailsWednesday carries a sharp, practical current, and today that current runs through Krishan Paksh 4 (Chaturthi). This tithi stays until 14:55:27, after which Krishan Paksh 5 (Panchami) begins. Chaturthi in the Krishna paksha is a day of clearing. The Moon is waning, so the energy is better for reducing, releasing, and correcting, rather than expanding wildly. Think of it like pruning a plant. You don’t cut to harm, you cut to help it grow better. Use the first half of the day to handle pending tasks, tidy paperwork, and settle misunderstandings. If you’ve been carrying a small guilt or an old worry, this tithi supports honest atonement and a simple prayer.Nakshatra begins in Bharani and shifts early, ending at 07:36:46, then moving into Krittika. Bharani is ruled by Yama, the deity connected with restraint, dharma, and the results of our actions. So yes, the conscience speaks louder today. Bharani supports disciplined work, closing loose ends, and doing what’s right even if it’s inconvenient. After 07:36:46, Krittika brings a sharper blade, the energy of cutting through confusion and purifying. It’s good for decisive conversations, cleaning, and focused study. But watch your tone. Krittika can make words too crisp, like a knife that cuts more than needed.The Moon sits in Aries 25.36, then shifts to Taurus at 13:13:42. This transition is the emotional headline. Aries Moon pushes quick reactions, fast travel plans, impatience in queues, and that urge to reply instantly. After 13:13:42, Taurus steadies the mind. Food, comfort, and practical security become more important. If you must have a serious family talk, the post transition hours are kinder. If you must negotiate money, do it with calm, not ego.Yoga is Vajra until 00:20:43, then Siddhi begins. Vajra can feel like a hard shell, it tests resolve and exposes weak planning. Don’t take it as bad luck. Take it as a mirror. Late night onward, Siddhi supports completion and success, especially for sincere efforts. Karans also show the day’s texture. Balava runs until 14:55:27, favouring steady, routine actions. Kaulava continues until 01:45:46, helping with agreements and social coordination, as long as you stay fair and clear.Auspicious Timings (Shubh Muhurat) Auspicious Timings (Shubh Muhurat)The day opens with Amrit Kalam from 03:48:21 to 05:18:01. This is a sweet, nourishing window, like the first cool breeze before sunrise. If you’ve been feeling scattered, sit for japa, read a few pages of scripture, or simply drink warm water and plan your day in silence. Right after, Brahma Muhurta runs from 04:13:07 to 05:01:23. It’s ideal for meditation, prayer, and study that needsdeep concentration. A small sankalp, even said softly, carries weight at this hour.Pratah Sandhya from 04:37:15 to 05:49:39 is excellent for morning worship, Surya arghya, and cleansing routines. Keep it simple. Light a lamp, offer water, and ask for right thinking. The day’s special supportive stretch, Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga, starts at 07:37:51 and lasts until 05:50:03. This is the kind of background blessing that helps ordinary efforts bear better results, especially after the nakshatra shift into Krittika. Use it for submitting applications, beginning a course module, starting a long pending household task, or setting up something you want to continue.Vijay Muhurta is from 13:46:59 to 14:34:43. This is the pocket for courageous action. Make the call you’ve been postponing, speak to your boss with clarity, or push a stuck project forward. As evening arrives, Godhuli Muhurta from 17:46:05 to 18:10:13 is perfect for family prayers and a gentle reset after work. Sayahana Sandhya from 17:46:05 to 18:58:29 supports evening aarti, reflection, and a calmer dinner atmosphere. Late night, Nishita Muhurta from 23:23:57 to 00:12:13 suits deep spiritual practice, quiet repentance, and prayers for ancestors.Choghadiya also gives handy cues. In the day, lean on “Laabh @ 05:49”, “Amrit @ 07:18”, “Shubh @ 10:17”, and “Laabh @ 16:16” for important errands and meetings. At night, “Shubh @ 19:16”, “Amrit @ 20:46”, and “Laabh @ 26:48” can be used for study, planning, or calm family discussions.Inauspicious Timings Inauspicious TimingsRahu Kaal today is 11:47 to 13:17. This is the stretch where confusion, impulsive choices, and unnecessary obstacles show up more easily. Not because the day is against you, but because Rahu clouds judgement and magnifies temptation. During this period, keep things steady. Do routine work, answer simple emails, clean your desk, or do a short meditation. If your mind feels restless, chant the Rahu mantra “Om Raam Rahave Namaha” a few times and drink water slowly. Avoid starting new ventures, signing contracts, lending money, or making big financial decisions.The detailed inauspicious listing also gives Rahu Kaal as 11:47:52 to 13:17:25. Treat the whole late morning to early afternoon band as sensitive. Dur Muhurtam appears from 11:23:47 to 12:11:47, again pointing to care with conversations, travel haste, and quick commitments. If you must attend a meeting then, go prepared. Don’t wing it.Yamaganda runs from 07:19:12 to 08:48:45. This is not the time to begin something brand new. It’s better for continuing existing work, doing household chores, or commuting with patience. Gulkai Kaal is from 10:18:18 to 11:47:52. Keep your wallet closed today in that window, especially for online shopping and spontaneous upgrades. Varjyam, from 18:50:51 to 20:20:10, asks for emotional restraint. Don’t pick fights at home. Don’t send that sharp message. Eat lighter and keep your words softer.Baana (Nripa) runs from 14:42:39 to 05:50:03. This suggests a royal mood, pride, and the urge to dominate. Watch the ego. If someone challenges you, respond with facts, not heat.Choghadiya inauspicious periods can also be respected. In the day, avoid “Kaal @ 08:48”, “Rog @ 11:47”, and “Udveg @ 13:17” for fresh beginnings. At night, be cautious in “Udveg @ 17:46”, “Rog @ 23:47”, “Kaal @ 25:18”, and “Udveg @ 28:18”. Use these for winding down, not for risky plans.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, and sunrise shifts with longitude. So even on the same date, different locations get different RahuKaal windows. The table below shows Rahu Kaal for major Indian cities, so you can follow the timing that matches your location without confusion. Choose the correct row and plan your key actions outside that period.City Rahu Kaal Mumbai 12:28 – 13:58Delhi (NCR) 12:10 – 13:40Bengaluru 12:09 – 13:39Hyderabad 12:05 – 13:35Chennai 11:58 – 13:28Ahmedabad 12:29 – 13:58Pune 12:24 – 13:54Kolkata 11:26 – 12:55Jaipur 12:16 – 13:45Kochi 12:14 – 13:45Lucknow 11:55 – 13:25Indore 12:16 – 13:46Guwahati 11:12 – 12:42Chandigarh 12:11 – 13:41Surat 12:28 – 13:58Visakhapatnam 11:46 – 13:16Nagpur 12:03 – 13:33Coimbatore 12:11 – 13:42Varanasi 11:47 – 13:17Bhubaneswar 11:36 – 13:06Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise & Moonset Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise & MoonsetSunrise is at 05:49:00, and sunset is at 17:46:11. These two anchors shape the day’s dharmic rhythm. A clean start near sunrise helps, especially on a Krishna paksha day when the mind can drift into old memories. Even five minutes of prayer, or a quiet resolve spoken to yourself, can change the tone of the whole Wednesday. As the Sun sets at 17:46:11, the body naturally asks for rest and digestion. Don’t stretch the evening with heavy screen time if you can help it.Moonrise is at 08:06:18 PM, and moonset is at 10:32:14 AM, Oct 1. With the Moon in a waning phase and shifting signs at 13:13:42, emotions may feel like changing weather. One moment bold, the next moment craving stability. Notice it, don’t obey it blindly. After moonrise, the mind becomes more reflective. It’s a good time to speak to elders, do a small remembrance for ancestors, or simply sit quietly with your thoughts and let them settle like dust after a breeze.Vrat/Festival Information & RecommendationsVrat/Festival Information & RecommendationsChaturthi Shraddha is observed today, and it carries the sober, caring tone of Pitru Paksha. In the purnimanta month of Ashvina, many families across India remember ancestors through Shraddha, tarpan, and simple offerings made with respect. The heart of Shraddha is gratitude. You acknowledge the line of people whose struggles and prayers made your present possible. Bharani nakshatra’s link with Yama also fits this mood, asking for honesty, restraint, and doing your duties without excuses. Keep the food satvik if you can, avoid waste, and speak gently at home.Panchmi Shraddha is also listed today. In practice, Shraddha observances can be done as per family tradition and availability, with prayers and offerings offered in a spirit of devotion. Some households keep the focus on remembering departed elders by name, feeding a cow, offering to a needy person, or supporting a simple meal for others. Don’t chase perfection. Shraddha responds to sincerity.Sankashti Chaturthi Vrat also falls today, the monthly fast dedicated to Lord Ganesha. On Sankashti, people observe vrat, keep the mind disciplined, and seek Ganapati’s help to remove obstacles and clear inner fear. Since this is Krishna paksha Chaturthi, the theme is very clear: reduce what is unnecessary, and strengthen what is meaningful. Even if you can’t do a full fast,you can keep one meal light, avoid anger, and offer a simple prayer to Ganesha.The Hindu month details also matter for your mindset. Amanta month is Bhadrapada, while purnimanta month is Ashvina. That blend often brings a feeling of transition, like the air before a seasonal change. Don’t force outcomes today. Work steadily and let results ripen.For relationships, choose restraint over reaction, especially before the Moon shifts to Taurus at 13:13:42. A small apology can save a big argument. For career, use Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga from 07:37:51 to 05:50:03 to push practical work, submit documents, and follow up with discipline. Your boss will notice consistent effort more than dramatic speeches. Spiritually, keep one pocket for quiet remembrance and one for Ganesha prayer. Light a lamp in the evening, offer a simple sweet if possible, and end the day by writing down one habit you’ll reduce this week. Do that, and you’ll sleep lighter, with the mind clear and the heart steady.
