Panchang Today is your steady daily guide to plan with clarity, not confusion. It is the old Hindu calendar wisdom that helps you choose the right mood for the right work, from a serious meeting to a family talk, from prayer to purchases. The Tithi shows the Moon's growth, the Nakshatra colours your instincts, and the Yoga and Karan hint at how smoothly things move. In a busy Indian routine, this keeps you connected to roots while making mindful decisions. Below are the important Panchang details for May 26, 2026 for India.
Date and Day Details
Tuesday arrives with Shukla Paksha 10 (Dasami), a bright phase that carries the feeling of building momentum. This Tithi stays until 05:11:01, after which Shukla Paksha 11 (Ekadasi) begins. Dasami is often about finishing what you started and putting systems in place. Think of it like tightening the knots before the boat leaves the shore. It is supportive for disciplined work, paperwork that needs patience, study plans, and family responsibilities that cannot be postponed. If you have been procrastinating on a health routine or a pending repair at home, this lunar day pushes you to act with a clean mind.
The Nakshatra is Hasta until 05:56:43, then it shifts to Chitra. Hasta is ruled by the deity Savitar, the inspiring aspect of the Sun. It is connected to the hands, skill, craft, and the ability to shape outcomes. So what works well? Tasks where your attention and touch matter: writing, editing, cooking, organising cupboards, fixing small gadgets, arranging documents, training your team, even careful negotiations. Hasta also asks for sincerity. If you try to be clever for the wrong reason, it can slip. After 05:56:43, Chitra begins and the flavour changes. Chitra brings design, beauty, and the urge to improve appearances, whether it is your presentation slide deck or your own grooming before stepping out.
The Moon sits in Virgo 10.31 today, and it stays there for most of the day, shifting to Libra at 27/05/2026 18:59:57. Virgo Moon energy is practical and a bit picky. You will notice small gaps in plans, small errors in messages, and small habits that need correction. It is good, if you do not let it turn into irritability. People may ask more questions than usual, or you may find yourself double-checking everything. That is Virgo doing its job. Use it to clean up your schedule, not to nitpick your family.
Yoga is Siddhi, which lasts till 03:10:28, and then Vyatipata follows. Siddhi supports accomplishment, a sense of things falling into place, and the confidence to complete. The Karan starts with Gara till 05:11:01 and then Vanij continues till 17:43:01, before Visti takes over. Gara suits steady effort, Vanij is business-minded and supports transactions and commerce, while Visti can bring delays or confusion if you push too hard. Work with the rhythm, do not wrestle it.
Auspicious Timings (Shubh Muhurat)
The day opens with Brahma Muhurta from 2026-05-26 03:45:04 to 2026-05-26 04:26:52. This is the quiet hour when the mind is like a still pond and prayers settle deep. If you want to restart a habit, begin here. A short japa, a few Surya Namaskars, or even reading a page of scripture can set the tone.
Pratah Sandhya runs from 2026-05-26 04:05:58 to 2026-05-26 05:08:40. It is ideal for sunrise routines, bathing, offering water to the Sun, and making simple intentions for the day. Then comes Ravi Yoga from 2026-05-26 05:08:40 to 2026-05-27 05:08:24, a supportive stretch for starting meaningful work, sending proposals, applying for a job, or taking a step that needs luck and personal effort to meet halfway.
Midday brings Abhijit Muhurta from 2026-05-26 11:28:04 to 2026-05-26 12:22:16. Abhijit is a classic window for beginning important tasks when you want fewer obstacles. Start a new file, make a key call, submit an application, or have that sensitive conversation with dignity.
Vijay Muhurta appears from 2026-05-26 14:10:40 to 2026-05-26 15:04:52. As the name suggests, it supports victory through steady action. Pitch your idea, follow up firmly, or tackle a task you have been avoiding. Evening has Godhuli Muhurta from 2026-05-26 18:41:18 to 2026-05-26 19:02:12 and Sayahana Sandhya from 2026-05-26 18:41:18 to 2026-05-26 19:44:00, both suited for lamp lighting, gratitude, and calming the home atmosphere.
Night has Nishita Muhurta from 2026-05-26 23:33:54 to 2026-05-27 00:15:42, and Amrit Kalam from 2026-05-26 23:29:29 to 2026-05-27 01:12:37. These are best for deep prayer, quiet study, or a focused healing intention, especially if the day felt noisy.
Choghadiya also guides practical choices. During the day, Laabh at 10:13 and Amrit at 11:54 feel supportive for progress and clean outcomes, while Shubh at 15:17 favours auspicious beginnings. At night, Laabh at 19:59, Shubh at 22:36, and Amrit at 23:54 are helpful for peaceful family time, study, or spiritual practice.
Inauspicious Timings
Rahu Kaal today is from 15:17 to 16:59. This is the shadowy stretch ruled by Rahu, known for confusion, sudden temptation, and restless decision making. It does not mean the world stops. It means you choose your actions with care. Use this time for routine work, reviewing files, cleaning your inbox, or quiet prayer. Chant the Rahu mantra, "Om Raam Rahave Namaha", and keep your mind steady. Do not sign contracts, do not start a new venture, and keep your wallet closed today in that window. If you must pay something, prefer planned bills over impulse purchases.
If you follow the detailed Panchang window, Rahu Kaal runs from 2026-05-26 15:18:08 to 2026-05-26 16:59:43. Treat it with the same caution.
Yamaganda is from 2026-05-26 08:31:49 to 2026-05-26 10:13:24. Yamaganda is linked to Yama's discipline, so avoid launching fresh initiatives, but it is fine for structured work, exercise, and completing tasks already underway. Gulikai Kaal is from 2026-05-26 11:54:59 to 2026-05-26 13:36:33. People often feel minor delays here. Keep buffers in your schedule and do not overpromise.
Varjyam lasts from 2026-05-26 13:10:14 to 2026-05-26 14:50:39. Varjyam is that patch where the sky feels less cooperative. Avoid risky travel choices, avoid confrontations, and do not send sharp messages that you may regret. Two Dur Muhurtam periods appear, from 2026-05-26 07:51:16 to 2026-05-26 08:45:16 and from 2026-05-26 22:52:06 to 2026-05-26 23:34:06. Keep conversations gentle in these spans, especially with elders and your spouse.
The day also carries Baana (Mrityu) from 2026-05-26 05:08:40 to 2026-05-26 16:37:40 and Baana (Agni) from 2026-05-26 16:37:40 to 2026-05-27 05:08:24. These are signals to avoid careless risks. Add to that Mrityu Yoga from 2026-05-26 05:11:40 to 2026-05-27 05:07:40 and Vidaal Yoga from 2026-05-26 05:08:40 to 2026-05-27 05:08:24, and the message is clear. Be careful with speed, with sharp tools, and with angry words.
Choghadiya inauspicious periods remind you where to slow down. Day brings Rog at 05:08, Udveg at 06:50, Kaal at 13:36, and Rog at 16:59. Night brings Kaal at 18:40, Udveg at 21:17, Rog at 26:31, and Kaal at 27:49. Use these for rest, prayer, and simple routines, not for big launches.
Rahu Kaal Timings Across India
Rahu Kaal changes from place to place across India because it is calculated using local sunrise. Sunrise differs with longitude, so the same weekday can carry different Rahu Kaal slots in different regions. The table below shows Rahu Kaal for major Indian cities, so you can match your location and plan key tasks around that daily shadow period.
- Mumbai: 15:52 - 17:30
- Delhi (NCR): 15:44 - 17:27
- Bengaluru: 15:28 - 17:04
- Hyderabad: 15:28 - 17:06
- Chennai: 15:17 - 16:53
- Ahmedabad: 15:57 - 17:37
- Pune: 15:47 - 17:26
- Kolkata: 14:53 - 16:33
- Jaipur: 15:47 - 17:30
- Kochi: 15:31 - 17:06
- Lucknow: 15:27 - 17:09

Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise and Moonset
Sunrise is at 05:08:47 and sunset is at 18:40:42. These are not just clock points. Sunrise is like opening the windows of the mind, letting in light and order. If your morning feels scattered, step outside for a minute after 05:08:47, look toward the sky, and breathe slowly. It settles the nervous system in a way coffee cannot.
The evening brings a softer spiritual turn. Sunset at 18:40:42 signals closure. Wrap up heavy work before the light fades, and keep the last hour of the day for family, prayer, or simple recovery.
Moonrise is at 02:22:20 PM. With the Moon in Virgo 10.31, the afternoon can make you introspective. You may replay conversations, or you may want to fix what feels imperfect. Use moonrise time to check in with your body and emotions. A short walk, hydration, and a light snack can stop unnecessary mood swings.
Moonset is at 02:17:54 AM, May 27. Late night is best kept quiet. Sleep on time if you can, because a Virgo Moon tends to keep the mind busy with lists and unfinished thoughts.
Vrat/Festival Information and Recommendations
No major Vrat or festival is observed today. The Hindu month running is Adhik Jyeshtha in the Amanta system, and that itself carries a special feel. Adhik months are often seen as extra space given by time, like an unexpected pause in the heat of summer where you can correct your direction. Without a big festival on the calendar, the Panchang invites simple discipline and inner housekeeping.
Relationships can feel a bit sensitive under the Virgo Moon. Small things may irritate you, and small words can land sharply. Ask yourself, is this worth a fight? If a family member forgets something, do not label it as disrespect. Speak once, speak clearly, then let it go. If you are meeting friends, choose a calm place and avoid gossip. It is the easiest way to keep the mind clean.
Work and career look productive, especially while Siddhi Yoga supports results till 03:10:28 and Vanij Karan supports practical business energy till 17:43:01. Use the morning to finish pending tasks and the early afternoon for smart follow-ups. Your boss will notice steady work more than loud promises. Still, be careful with timing. Avoid new launches or big signatures during Rahu Kaal from 15:17 to 16:59. If you must meet someone then, keep it to review and discussion, not final commitments.
Spiritually, this day rewards simple acts. Light a lamp during Sayahana Sandhya from 2026-05-26 18:41:18 to 2026-05-26 19:44:00. Read a few lines of a sacred text, or sit quietly for ten minutes. At night, Amrit Kalam from 2026-05-26 23:29:29 to 2026-05-27 01:12:37 can feel like cool rain on a tired mind. Even a short prayer becomes more effective.
Take the Panchang's message in a practical way. Do one thing you have been postponing, clean one corner of your home, and make one honest call you have avoided. Then stop. Do not overdo it. Keep your speech gentle, plan spending, and reserve the late afternoon for routine tasks. Your actionable advice for today is simple: write your top three priorities after sunrise at 05:08:47, finish the hardest one before midday, and keep 15:17 to 16:59 strictly for low-stakes work and mantra.
