Panchang Today is your steady compass for the day, drawn from the Hindu calendar’s time tested wisdom. It helps you plan with precision, not just for prayers, but also for work, travel, money matters, and family decisions. The Moon’s mood, the Nakshatra’s flavour, and the day’s Yog and Karan quietly shape how things land. Staying in touch with this rhythm keeps you connected to your cultural roots, and it also makes you more mindful in small, everyday choices. Below are the important Panchang details for August 01, 2026 for India:
Date & Day Details
Date & Day Details
Saturday carries Shani’s serious, disciplined tone. It’s a day that rewards patience, consistency, and honest effort, the kind you do even when nobody’s watching. With the Moon in Aquarius 11.53, the mind turns to systems, plans, friends, teams, and the bigger picture. You may feel less emotional and more practical, almost like you’re looking at your life from a balcony. Useful, no doubt. Still, don’t become too detached. People around you may need warmth, not only logic.
Today’s Tithi is Krishan Paksh 3 (Tritiya), and it remains in force till 23:07:24, after which Krishan Paksh 4 (Chaturthi) begins.
In Krishna Paksha, the Moon is waning, so the inner world speaks louder than the outer. Tritiya brings movement and skill. Think of it as the day for shaping and refining, like kneading dough until it comes together. It supports learning a technique, polishing a draft, improving a routine, and doing “second pass” work that makes results cleaner. It is also a good phase for mending small misunderstandings, because Tritiya likes cooperation when ego is kept aside.
The Nakshatra is Satabhisaj, ending at 20:45:29, then moving into P.Bhadrapada. Satabhisaj is linked to Varuna, the deity of cosmic waters and truth. That’s why this star has a cleansing quality. It pushes you to set boundaries, to say what’s real, and to heal what has been quietly ignored. It favours research, health routines, detox habits, and thoughtful conversations. If you have paperwork to sort, a system to fix, or a habit to reset, this is supportive energy. When P.Bhadrapada arrives after 20:45:29, the mood turns more inward and reflective. The mind may crave quiet, prayer, and deeper meaning.
The Yoga is Sobhana till 23:23:11, followed by Atiganda. Sobhana is considered pleasant and supportive for bringing harmony, beautifying efforts, and respectful dealings. Use it for relationship maintenance, team bonding, and tasks where goodwill matters. As Atiganda approaches after 23:23:11, keep things simple at night, because this shift can make the mind restless.
Karan also colours the day. Vanij lasts till 10:52:59, then Visti runs till 23:07:24, after which Bava starts. Vanij supports trade, deals, and practical work. Visti, often called Bhadra, can bring delays or a stubborn mood, so avoid pushing people hard during its stretch. One more important shift, the Moon sign transition is scheduled at 02/08/2026 15:26:53, when the Moon moves from Aquarius into Pisces. Even before that exact moment, you may notice emotions softening and intuition rising, like clouds gathering before a gentle rain.
Auspicious Timings (Shubh Muhurat)
Auspicious Timings (Shubh Muhurat)
Some days give you a wide open highway. Some give you neat little green signals. Today is the second type, so pick your windows and use them well.
Brahma Muhurta runs from 2026-08-01 03:59:52 to 2026-08-01 04:42:40. This is the cleanest mental air of the day, like a pre dawn breeze that clears stale thoughts. If you want to start a new habit, read scripture, meditate, or study without distraction, do it here. Even 15 minutes counts.
Pratah Sandhya is from 2026-08-01 04:21:16 to 2026-08-01 05:25:28. This is ideal for Surya arghya, a simple lamp, and setting intentions for steady work. If your house feels heavy lately, open windows, light incense, and tidy one corner during this time.
Abhijit Muhurta comes from 2026-08-01 11:37:52 to 2026-08-01 12:31:04. Abhijit is a strong middle of the day support, good for decisions, starting an important email trail, submitting forms, or having a meeting where you need clarity. If you’ve been postponing a phone call, make it here.
Amrit Kalam is from 2026-08-01 13:10:06 to 2026-08-01 14:51:18. This window is sweet for outcomes, especially for health related efforts, family discussions, and work that needs a lucky push. If you’re buying something necessary, or negotiating a fair price, this can help.
Vijay Muhurta is from 2026-08-01 14:17:28 to 2026-08-01 15:10:40. Use it for tasks where you want a win, an approval, or a firm result. Interviews, presentations, and goal setting do well.
Godhuli Muhurta is from 2026-08-01 18:43:27 to 2026-08-01 19:04:51, and Sayahana Sandhya continues from 2026-08-01 18:43:27 to 2026-08-01 19:47:39. This twilight time is tender. It suits evening prayers, gratitude, and calmer family talk.
Nishita Muhurta runs from 2026-08-01 23:43:03 to 2026-08-02 00:25:51. If you do mantra, deep sadhana, or quiet journaling, this is powerful.
Choghadiya also gives handy cues. In the day, Shubh @ 07:04, Laabh @ 13:44, and Amrit @ 15:24 are supportive. At night, Laabh @ 18:44, Shubh @ 21:24, Amrit @ 22:44, and Laabh @ 28:04 can be used for peaceful home tasks, study, and spiritual work.
Inauspicious Timings
Inauspicious Timings
Rahu Kaal today is from 08:44 to 10:24. Rahu’s energy is smoky and confusing, like driving through fog where distance looks different. Avoid starting new ventures, signing contracts, making big purchases, or locking a financial decision in this slot. Keep your wallet closed today if you can. If you must work, do routine tasks, clean up pending mails, or review what’s already in motion. A short prayer helps, even in a busy home. Chant the Rahu mantra “Om Raam Rahave Namaha” 108 times, or at least 27 times with focus. Meditation, silent breath work, and feeding birds are also gentle remedies.
The detailed inauspicious window for rahu_kaal is 2026-08-01 08:44:57 to 2026-08-01 10:24:42. Close enough to the above, so treat the whole stretch with care.
Gulika Kaal is listed as gulkai_kaal from 2026-08-01 05:25:28 to 2026-08-01 07:05:12. Gulika can bring small obstacles, missed buses, or unnecessary irritation. If you’re commuting early, leave a little buffer. Don’t pick fights at breakfast.
Dur Muhurtam falls from 2026-08-01 07:11:52 to 2026-08-01 08:04:52. This is not ideal for launching something important, especially anything linked to authority or paperwork. If you have a meeting, keep it low stakes, and double check your documents.
Yamaganda runs from 2026-08-01 13:44:12 to 2026-08-01 15:23:57. Traditionally, it’s avoided for auspicious beginnings. Keep this time for routine work, filing, and follow ups. If you need to have a serious talk with a colleague, wait for a cleaner window.
There is also baana (Chora) from 2026-08-01 16:36:28 to 2026-08-02 05:25:56. Chora Baana hints at carelessness, misplaced items, and avoidable loss. Watch your phone, keys, and small cash. Don’t leave a delivery unattended.
Panchaka is active from 2026-08-01 05:25:28 to 2026-08-02 05:25:56. Many families avoid certain major beginnings during Panchaka. Keep your plans modest, and focus on repairs, cleaning, and finishing half done work.
Vidaal Yoga is from 2026-08-01 05:25:28 to 2026-08-01 20:45:30. This can create a sense of dissatisfaction, where you do a lot yet feel it’s not enough. The remedy is simple. Stick to one priority, ignore drama, and don’t compare.
Varjyam is from 2026-08-02 03:26:06 to 2026-08-02 05:05:55. It is late night to early morning, and it is best used for rest, not for starting travel or big actions.
Choghadiya inauspicious periods also deserve respect. In the day, Kaal @ 05:24, Rog @ 08:44, Udveg @ 10:24, and Kaal @ 17:04 can bring delays and agitation. At night, Udveg @ 20:04, Rog @ 25:24, and Kaal @ 26:44 are better kept for quiet, simple routines and early sleep.
Rahu Kaal Timings Across India
Rahu Kaal Timings Across India
Rahu Kaal changes from place to place across India because it is calculated using local sunrise. Sunrise itself shifts with longitude, so two locations can have different Rahu Kaal even on the same date.

Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise & Moonset
Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise & Moonset
Sunrise is at 05:24:28, and it’s more than a time on the clock. In Panchang thinking, sunrise resets the day’s spiritual ledger. If you can, sit for a minute facing the light, take a few deep breaths, and begin without rushing. Even your tea tastes calmer when your mind is not sprinting.
Sunset arrives at 18:44:06. The evening is a natural checkpoint, like a farmer looking over the field before night falls. Wrap up loose ends, reduce screen time a bit, and let the home atmosphere soften. The Godhuli and Sandhya period around evening encourages prayer, gratitude, and gentle speech.
Moonrise is at 08:23:18 PM. With the Moon in Aquarius, the night can bring planning thoughts, old messages from friends, or ideas about your future. If you tend to overthink, keep a notebook near you and write it down. Moonset is at 08:36:08 AM, Aug 2. This tells you the Moon’s influence remains active into the next morning, so don’t ignore your dreams or gut feelings. Keep your night light, your dinner simple, and your mind a little quieter than usual.
Vrat/Festival Information & Recommendations
Vrat/Festival Information & Recommendations
No major Vrat or festival is observed today.
Still, a day without a big festival is not an empty day. It’s like a plain sky that lets you see far. The Hindu month context also matters. As per the calendars followed in different regions, the month is Ashadha in the amanta system and Shravana in the purnimanta system. Ashadha carries a finishing energy, clearing, sorting, and letting go. Shravana carries a listening energy, devotion, and softness. Between the two, the message is clear. Reduce noise, inside and outside.
For relationships, keep your words clean and simple today. With Satabhisaj’s Varuna influence, truth wants to come out, but truth without kindness can sting. If you need to correct someone at home, do it privately. If you’re hurt, say so without turning it into a courtroom. A small gesture helps, a cup of chai for a parent, a check in call to a sibling, a patient reply to your partner. These are the ropes that hold families together.
For career and work, Saturday supports steady output. Not showy, but solid. Use the first half for practical tasks, because Vanij Karan till 10:52:59 supports transactions and coordination. After that, Visti till 23:07:24 can bring delays, so don’t overload your schedule with tight deadlines. If you’re dealing with a boss or senior, be punctual and crisp. Your boss will notice the person who keeps things organised when others are scattered.
For money, avoid impulse buying, especially in the Rahu Kaal 08:44 to 10:24. If something looks like a bargain, pause. Check reviews, check return policy, then decide later. Small savings done repeatedly is also a kind of Lakshmi upasana.
For spiritual practice, this day suits quiet cleansing. A bath with a pinch of salt if you like, a short prayer during Pratah Sandhya, and a lamp near sunset can shift the mood of the home. If you’re struggling with distraction, choose one mantra and stick to it. “Om Raam Rahave Namaha” during Rahu influence is a good anchor. Don’t chase ten remedies. One done with faith is enough.
The day ends best when you keep it simple. Eat on time, speak less at night, and put your phone away a little earlier. Take one clear action today, clean one corner of your home, finish one pending task, and offer one sincere prayer at sunset, then sleep with gratitude.
