Panchami
Krishna Tithi
Sunday, 5 July 2026 — sunrise, Rahu Kalam, and today's tithi and nakshatra computed astronomically for Kochi (कोच्चि). Updated daily.
Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, and Gulika Kalam are the three daily periods traditionally avoided for starting anything new — a journey, a purchase, a proposal. They are one-eighth of the daylight each, so their clock time shifts with sunrise and sunset in Kochi.
Abhijit Muhurta is the reverse: roughly 24 minutes centred on the true solar noon, considered strong enough to override most afflictions. When in doubt, act in Abhijit.
