Bhadra Kaal Today, Kharmas and the Siddhi Yogas — the Panchang Days That Matter

Bhadra kaal today is the first thing many families check before fixing anything important. Bhadra is the Vishti karana, one of the eleven karanas that divide each tithi in half, and it returns about twice in every fortnight for six to eight hours at a time.

In the tradition Vishti is personified as Bhadra, a daughter of the Sun with a fierce temperament, and the texts advise against beginning anything auspicious while she presides. The restriction is narrower than people assume: routine work, medicine, journeys already under way and daily worship all continue. What waits is the start of something new.

The card above shows whether bhadra kaal today is running, with exact start and end times for your city, and the table below it gives every bhadra window for the next two weeks. Because bhadra depends only on the Moon's distance from the Sun, the timing is the same across India, converted to your local clock.

The kharmas dates mark the two stretches each year when the Sun passes through a sign ruled by Jupiter - Sagittarius from around the sixteenth of December, and Pisces from around the fourteenth of March. Each lasts about thirty days, and the exact dates for the chosen year are in the table above.

During kharmas, also called Malmas or Kharmaas, no marriage, griha pravesh, mundan, namkaran or new business is begun. The traditional explanation is that the Sun in his guru's house is occupied elsewhere; the practical one is that both periods fall in the hardest weeks for travel and harvest in the old agricultural calendar.

What continues is everything else. Worship, fasting, pilgrimage, study and charity are all considered especially fruitful during kharmas dates, which is why the Magh Mela and several major bathing festivals fall inside them. Families use the month for temple visits and for planning what will begin once it ends.

Sarvartha siddhi yoga dates are the panchang's general-purpose good days. The yoga forms when one of a set list of nakshatras falls on a particular weekday - Hasta on Sunday, Shravana on Monday, Ashwini on Tuesday and so on - and its name means that all purposes are accomplished.

Its usefulness is practical. A great many actions have no dedicated muhurat: joining a job, signing a contract, beginning a course, starting a journey, opening a shop. For all of these, sarvartha siddhi yoga dates serve as the default auspicious window, and there are usually forty to sixty of them in a year.

Amrit siddhi yoga is the stronger version, with exactly one nakshatra-weekday pair for each day of the week - Rohini on Sunday, Mrigashira on Monday, Ashwini on Tuesday, Mrigashira on Wednesday, Pushya on Thursday, Revati on Friday and Rohini on Saturday in the common list. Where amrit siddhi yoga falls, the day needs no further checking for ordinary work.

Both are listed above for the coming months, with the nakshatra that formed each one so the result can be verified against any panchang.

Pushya is the nakshatra of nourishment, ruled by Saturn and presided over by Brihaspati, and it is considered the most auspicious of the twenty-seven for almost everything except marriage. When it falls on a Sunday the day becomes Ravi Pushya; on a Thursday, Guru Pushya.

The next ravi pushya yoga date and the Guru Pushya days for the year are in the table above. Both are treated as the best days of the year for buying gold and silver, taking delivery of a vehicle, registering property, opening a business and beginning any serious course of study. Jewellers in India time their campaigns around these dates for exactly this reason.

The dwipushkar tripushkar yoga pair works differently. Each forms when a specific tithi, weekday and nakshatra coincide, and the effect is multiplication rather than blessing: whatever happens is doubled in dwipushkar and tripled in tripushkar. That makes them excellent for purchases and gains and genuinely unwise for anything you would not want repeated - which is why the texts advise against returning goods or lending money on such days.

Read together, these six cover almost every ordinary decision. Check bhadra first, since it can rule out a few hours of an otherwise good day. Check kharmas next if the action is a beginning of any weight. Then look for a siddhi yoga or a Pushya day if the matter deserves one.

For actions with their own dedicated muhurat - marriage, house entry, mundan, namkaran - use those calculators instead, since they apply a stricter set of rules. This page covers everything that falls outside them.

1. Karana for bhadra. The Moon-Sun elongation is tracked through the day in fifteen-minute steps; the Vishti karana windows are found to the minute and converted to your local time.

2. Nakshatra and weekday for the yogas. The nakshatra at your city's sunrise is computed for every day of the year and matched against the classical nakshatra-weekday lists for sarvartha siddhi, amrit siddhi and the Pushya yogas.

3. Solar position for kharmas. The Sun's sidereal longitude gives the exact dates it enters and leaves Sagittarius and Pisces.

A detail that changes the practical answer: bhadra does not always apply on earth. The texts place Bhadra in one of three lokas depending on the Moon's sign at the time. When the Moon is in Cancer, Leo, Aquarius or Pisces, bhadra resides on earth and its restrictions apply fully. In Aries, Taurus, Gemini or Virgo she is in heaven; in Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius or Capricorn, in the underworld - and in both of those cases the earthly effect is held to be negligible.

This is why a priest will sometimes say bhadra is running but does not matter. He is reading the Moon's sign alongside the karana, not dismissing the rule. For anything genuinely important the safer course is to wait it out regardless, since the windows are short.

The other traditional detail is bhadra mukha and puccha - the face and the tail. The first five ghatis of a bhadra period are the face and are considered the most harmful; the last three are the tail and are said to be actually auspicious for certain acts. Practical usage across most of India ignores this refinement and simply avoids the whole window.

When a date has to be fixed and there is no dedicated muhurat for the action, the panchang can be worked through in a fixed order, and it takes about a minute.

First, the month. Is the date inside Kharmas? If the action is a beginning of any weight - a business, a house move, a ceremony - the answer decides the matter immediately. Routine actions are unaffected.

Second, the day. Does the date carry a siddhi yoga? Amrit siddhi is the strongest, sarvartha siddhi next. A Pushya day - Ravi or Guru - is better still for anything involving money or study. If none of these is available, any day with a decent nakshatra and tithi will serve.

Third, the hours. Is bhadra running, and when does it end? Is the action inside rahu kaal? Which choghadiya covers the hour you had in mind? These three between them usually leave several clear stretches in any given day.

Fourth, the lagna. For something important, check that a suitable sign is rising at the chosen moment. Our shubh muhurat calculator does this from your own chart, and the dedicated ceremony calculators do it for weddings, house entries and the child's samskaras.

Working in that order means you never spend time on the fine detail of a day that a larger rule has already ruled out - which is exactly how a family priest approaches the same question.
