Daily Panchang Overview

  • Paksha: Shukla (waxing moon)

  • Tithi: Pratipada signifies fresh starts and momentum after New Moon.
  • Nakshatra: Dhanishta and Shatabhisha provide structured energy
    (for focus and healing) across the day.

In traditional Vedic perspective, this Panchang suggests a supportive day for beginning new projects, learning commitments, spiritual practices or community involvement, especially during Abhijit Muhurtham and Amritakalam. The inauspicious periods (Rahu Kaal, Yamagandam, Varjyam, Gulika) are best avoided for major initiations or travel if possible.
