Panchang Today is your daily guide to plan with a steadier hand, using the ancient rhythm of the Hindu calendar. It’s not only about dates and timings, it’s about staying connected to our cultural roots while making mindful decisions in real life, at home, at work, and in your own inner space. The Moon’s phase, the Nakshatra, and the day’s yogas quietly shape mood, focus, and outcomes, like weather patterns you can learn to read. Use this as a practical compass, not as pressure. Below are the important Panchang details for October 01, 2026 for India: Date & Day Details Date & Day DetailsOctober 01, 2026 falls on a Thursday, a day naturally aligned with Jupiter’s steady, wise flavour. It suits learning, planning, and taking counsel, especially when emotions feel intense. The Tithi running today is Krishan Paksh 5 (Panchami), ending at 12:35:19, after which Krishan Paksh 6 (Shashthi) begins. In the Krishna Paksha, the Moon is waning, so energy turns inward. Think editing, refining, clearing clutter, and finishing what’s already on your plate. Panchami carries a disciplined, hands on quality. It supports study, skill practice, problem solving, and settling small disputes, provided you keep your ego in check. If you’ve been postponing a tough conversation with a sibling or teammate, this Tithi helps you speak plainly, without drama.The Nakshatra is Krittika, ending at 06:02:45, and then Rohini takes over. Krittika is ruled by Agni, the fire principle. It’s sharp, cleansing, and direct, like a flame that doesn’t negotiate with smoke. This is why Krittika favours decisions that need courage, cutting away excess, and being honest about what isn’t working. Early hours can feel a bit intense or impatient. After 06:02:45, Rohini’s softer, nurturing mood begins, presided over by Prajapati Brahma in many traditions.Rohini is about growth, beauty, comfort, and building something steadily, whether it’s a relationship, a savings habit, or a creative project.The Moon sign is Taurus 9.52, which makes emotions practical, loyal, and comfort seeking. Food, finances, and family routines come into focus. You might crave stability, and you might also resist change just because it’s uncomfortable. Don’t be stubborn for the sake of it. The Moon sign transitions at 02/10/2026 15:40:31 to Gemini, so you’ll feel the shift toward lighter thinking and more conversation later, but today’s core mood is still earthy and grounded.Yoga is Siddhi, ending at 21:18:29, and then Vyatipata begins. Siddhi supports completion and getting results, especially when you act with clarity instead of rushing. Karan for the first part is Taitila until 12:35:19, then Gara until 23:25:07, moving to Vanij after that. Taitila and Gara are useful for routine work, travel planning, and steady effort, the sort that doesn’t look glamorous but gets the job done. That’s today’s message. Do the basics well.Auspicious Timings (Shubh Muhurat) Auspicious Timings (Shubh Muhurat)If you want the day to run smoother, anchor your important actions inside the Shubh windows given in the Panchang. The Brahma Muhurta is from 2026-10-01 04:13:23 to 2026-10-01 05:01:43. This is the quiet pre dawn pocket where the mind is least cluttered. Perfect for prayer,japa, journalling, or even just sitting with a glass of warm water and setting one clear intention. You’ll be surprised how much it steadies the rest of the day.Pratah Sandhya runs from 2026-10-01 04:37:33 to 2026-10-01 05:50:03. Use it for Surya arghya, a simple diya, or reading a few lines of a spiritual text. It’s also a good time to plan your commute and day’s priorities, because Siddhi Yoga supports practical success when you begin with order.Abhijit Muhurta, from 2026-10-01 11:23:43 to 2026-10-01 12:11:23, is excellent for sending a key email, signing off on a decision, pitching an idea, or starting a clean conversation with your boss or client. If something has been stuck in the approval loop, this is a good window to push it forward.Vijay Muhurta is from 2026-10-01 13:46:43 to 2026-10-01 14:34:23. This is the “win with effort” time. Choose it for interviews, presentations, negotiations, or even a tough workout if you’ve been lazy.As evening arrives, Godhuli Muhurta is from 2026-10-01 17:45:02 to 2026-10-01 18:09:12, and Sayahana Sandhya is from 2026-10-01 17:45:02 to 2026-10-01 18:57:32. These are lovely for lighting a lamp, family prayer, and calming the home vibe after a long day. Later, Nishita Muhurta comes from 2026-10-01 23:23:22 to 2026-10-02 00:11:42, suited for deeper sadhana, quiet mantra, or heartfelt prayer.Choghadiya also supports planning. Day auspicious periods are Shubh @ 05:49, Laabh @ 11:47, Amrit @ 13:16, and Shubh @ 16:15. Night auspicious periods are Amrit @ 17:45, Laabh @ 23:47, Shubh @ 26:48, and Amrit @ 28:19. Pick one and work with it, instead of trying to do everything at once.Inauspicious Timings Inauspicious TimingsRahu Kaal today is from 13:16 to 14:46. Rahu’s energy can feel like mental fog, sudden temptation, or restless urgency. It’s not the time to start something brand new, close a deal, or make a big financial commitment. Keep your wallet closed today during this window, especially for impulse shopping or unplanned online purchases. If you must work, stick to routine tasks, follow ups, and checking details. A simple remedy helps. Sit quietly for a few minutes, breathe slowly, and chant Rahu mantra “Om Raam Rahave Namaha” with attention. Even 9 or 27 repetitions can bring steadiness.The Panchang also lists rahu_kaal as 2026-10-01 13:16:54 to 2026-10-01 14:46:17. Use these exact minutes if you’re planning very tightly.Yamaganda is from 2026-10-01 05:50:03 to 2026-10-01 07:19:25. This early stretch is not ideal for launching new tasks. Keep it simple, get ready, do your daily prayer, and avoid heated calls. Gulika Kaal appears as gulkai_kaal from 2026-10-01 08:48:47 to 2026-10-01 10:18:10. It’s another patch where delays or miscommunication can crop up, so double check tickets, meeting links, and documents before stepping out.There is Baana (Nripa) from 2026-10-01 05:50:03 to 2026-10-01 15:08:03. Treat this as a caution for ego clashes and authority related friction. Don’t turn a small workplace disagreement into a prestige battle. Two Dur Muhurtam windows are given, from 2026-10-01 09:48:23 to 2026-10-01 10:36:23, and again from 2026-10-01 14:34:23 to 2026-10-01 15:22:23. Avoid important signatures, confrontations, and risky travel decisions inside these.Varjyam runs from 2026-10-01 20:59:15 to 2026-10-01 22:28:44. Varjyam is like a hidden pothole on an otherwise decent road. Keep plans light, avoid demanding conversations, and don’t expect instant cooperation. Vidaal Yoga lasts from 2026-10-01 06:03:15 to 2026-10-02 04:27:15, indicating that the day can feel a bit edgy or draining if you push too hard. Aadal Yoga follows from 2026-10-02 04:28:15 to 2026-10-02 05:50:28, so keep early next morning calm too.Choghadiya inauspicious periods in the day are Rog @ 07:18, Udveg @ 08:48, and Kaal @ 14:46. At night, watch for Rog @ 20:46, Kaal @ 22:16, and Udveg @ 25:18. If you can’t avoid them, choose patience. That’s the real remedy.Rahu Kaal Timings Across India Rahu Kaal Timings Across IndiaRahu Kaal changes from place to place across India because it is calculated from local sunrise. Sunrise is not at the same minute everywhere, since longitude differences shift the Sun’s appearance time from east to west. That’s why the table below shows Rahu Kaal for major Indian cities, so you can match it to your location. Use it mainly for avoiding new beginnings, not for fear. Timing is guidance, not a cage.City Rahu Kaal Mumbai 13:57 – 15:27Delhi (NCR) 13:39 – 15:08Bengaluru 13:39 – 15:09Hyderabad 13:35 – 15:05Chennai 13:28 – 14:58Ahmedabad 13:58 – 15:27Pune 13:53 – 15:23Kolkata 12:55 – 14:25Jaipur 13:45 – 15:14Kochi 13:44 – 15:14Lucknow 13:24 – 14:54Indore 13:45 – 15:15Guwahati 12:41 – 14:11Chandigarh 13:40 – 15:09Surat 13:57 – 15:27Visakhapatnam 13:16 – 14:45Nagpur 13:32 – 15:02Coimbatore 13:41 – 15:11Varanasi 13:16 – 14:46Bhubaneswar 13:05 – 14:35Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise & Moonset Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise & MoonsetSunrise is at 05:49:25, and sunset is at 17:45:05. In Panchang tradition, sunrise is not just a time on the clock, it’s a daily reset. If your sleep has been messy or your routine has slipped, take today’s sunrise as a cue to return to discipline, even in small ways. A short walk, a bath, or a fewSurya Namaskar sets the body right.Sunset at 17:45:05 marks the shift from outer activity to inner settling. This is a good point to stop chasing one more task and instead tidy up loose ends. Godhuli and the evening Sandhya timings also sit around this transition, so a lamp in the home, or a quiet moment on the balcony, can soften stress.Moonrise is at 09:00:50 PM. With the Moon in Taurus 9.52, this moonrise can heighten the need for comfort and reassurance at night. Good food, a calm talk with family, and a stable plan for tomorrow will feel more satisfying than scrolling endlessly. Moonset is at 11:38:23 AM, Oct 2, reminding you that emotions also move on. Let them. Don’t cling to yesterday’s irritation.Vrat/Festival Information & Recommendations Vrat/Festival Information & RecommendationsToday’s observance is Shasthi Shraddha, noted under Ashvina, Pitru Paksha (Festival CSV). Pitru Paksha carries the feeling of a quiet river flowing behind daily life, unseen but deeply present. Shraddha days are meant for remembrance, gratitude, and making peace with one’s lineage. Shasthi Shraddha, in particular, is associated with offerings and prayers done with sincerity for ancestors, seeking their blessings and easing any unresolved heaviness in the family line. It’s not a showy ritual. It’s a tender one.In many homes, people keep food simple, maintain cleanliness, and avoid unnecessary arguments. Acts of daan and service carry weight during Pitru Paksha. Even a small gesture done with respect can feel like lighting a lamp in an old corridor. If you’re observing, focus on purity of intent. Speak gently at home today. If there has been a long standing family misunderstanding, you don’t have to solve it in one day, but you can stop adding fuel.This Panchang also notes the Hindu month context as Bhadrapada (amanta) and Ashvina (purnimanta). That tells you the seasonal shift is underway, and emotionally too, people can feel in between, not fully settled, not fully ready to move on. So be kind to yourself.For relationships, the Moon in Taurus 9.52 asks for steadiness. Don’t test love with silence or sarcasm. Ask directly for what you need, and listen without preparing a comeback. For work, Siddhi Yoga until 21:18:29 supports results. Show up, keep your promises, and finish one pending task that has been nagging you. Your boss will notice consistent follow through more than loud effort.For spiritual practice, use 2026-10-01 04:13:23 to 2026-10-01 05:01:43 for japa or quiet prayer, and return to the evening calm around 2026-10-01 17:45:02 to 2026-10-01 18:57:32. During Rahu Kaal 13:16 to 14:46, avoid major decisions and chant “Om Raam Rahave Namaha” with a steady mind.Actionable advice for today, keep your spending simple, finish one important pending job, speak respectfully with elders, and light a diya at sunset while offering a sincere thought of gratitude for your ancestors.
