Today's Panchang for Toronto
In Toronto today the tithi is Amavasya, the nakshatra is Hasta, the yoga is Indra, the karana is Naga and the vara is Saturday.
See the character of the day, what is active now, and which general timing windows are supportive or better avoided. Every time below is calculated for Toronto, not copied from a fixed national timetable.
Tithi through the day
- Amavasya Krishna Paksha until 11:50 AM Started before this sunrise
- Pratipada Shukla Paksha until 7:27 AM next morning Still running at the next sunrise Running now
This day is called Amavasya because that tithi was running at sunrise, which is what names a Vedic day. Right now Pratipada is running. Both are correct — they answer different questions.

The day's muhurta verdict
Is today auspicious in Toronto? 4/10
A muhurta score is a sum of named rules, not an opinion. Every rule that fired is listed below with the weight it carried, so a low score can be read rather than merely accepted.

Disha Shool
East
Setting out toward the East is what a Saturday traditionally avoids. It is fixed by the weekday alone, not computed from planetary positions, so it is the same in every city.
Parihara Look in a mirror, or take milk, before setting out.
| Rule | Value on this day | Weight | Why it counts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vaara | Saturday | -1 | Saturn rules the day — better for effort and repair than soft starts |
| Tithi | Amavasya | -3 | New moon — reserved for ancestors and inner work, not for beginnings |
| Nakshatra | Hasta | +2 | Swift nakshatra — favours quick, light and commercial work |
| Nitya Yoga | Indra | +1 | Supportive yoga |
| Karana | Naga | +1 | Workable karana |
The weights are summed and halved onto a 0-10 scale, so no single rule can saturate it. This is the same verdict the app's month calendar shows for this date.

Five partsThe five parts of the day
The five parts of the day
Panchang, in plain language
"Panchang" means five limbs. Together they describe the lunar and planetary character of the day at local sunrise.
Tithi
Lunar day
Amavasya - Krishna Paksha
The Moon is in its waning half, moving toward the new Moon.
Vara
Weekday
Saturday
The weekday is traditionally associated with Saturn.
Nakshatra
Moon's constellation
Hasta
The section of the sidereal sky occupied by the Moon at local sunrise.
Yoga
Sun-Moon combination
Indra
A relationship derived from the combined solar and lunar longitudes; classified here as good.
Karana
Half of a lunar day
Naga
The half-tithi active at sunrise; classified here as neutral.
Hindu month
Purnimanta - ends at the full Moon
Ashwin
The North Indian reckoning, standard in Delhi, UP, Rajasthan, Bihar and Punjab, and the one Vikrama Samvata belongs to.
Hindu month
Amanta - ends at the new Moon
Bhadrapada
The South and West Indian reckoning, standard in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, Andhra and Tamil Nadu.
Vikrama Samvata
Lunar year
2083 Siddharthi
Krishna paksha, so the two reckonings differ: a purnimanta month ends at the full Moon and is already Ashwin, while an amanta month runs to the new Moon and is still Bhadrapada. Same day, two regional names.
Ayana
The Sun's half-year
Dakshinayana
The Sun's southward half-year, from Karka Sankranti in mid-July to the end of Dhanu. Traditionally the half for inner work, vows and ancestral observance.
Ritu
Vedic season, by lunar month
Sharad
The Autumn season. This is the Vedic ritu: two lunar months long, read from the month above rather than from the calendar date. Some almanacs also print a tropical ritu that follows the Sun's position, which can run up to a month ahead of it.
Shaka Samvata
The national era
1948
India's civil lunisolar era, 135 years behind Vikrama Samvata and aligned to the amanta reckoning. The two can disagree for a fortnight each spring, which is why this is computed rather than subtracted.
Surya & Chandra Rashi
Where the two luminaries sit
Virgo · Virgo
The Sun's sidereal sign and the Moon's, at local sunrise. The Moon's sign is the one Vedic astrology means by "your rashi".
Dinamana & Ratrimana
Measured day and night
11h 17m 10s · 12h 44m 02s
Every proportional window on this page is a fraction of one of these two spans, not of a twelve-hour assumption. That is why a daytime Hora and a night Hora are different lengths today.

Weekday × nakshatra
Mrityu · Ashubha
- Mrityu 7:26 AM - 12:13 PM · Hasta
- Kaana 12:13 PM - 7:27 AM · Chitra
One of twenty-eight yogas fixed by the weekday and the Moon's nakshatra, so it changes exactly when the nakshatra does — never at sunrise.

Siddha, Amrita or Marana
Marana · Ashubha
- Marana 7:26 AM - 7:27 AM · Hasta
The Tamil almanac's verdict on the weekday and nakshatra pair. Every pair resolves to one of the three — there is no neutral state and no blank day.
Through the dayNot one value each — a sequence
Not one value each — a sequence
Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana through the day
The cards above name what was running at local sunrise, which is the convention that names the day. None of the four limbs actually lasts exactly one day, so here is every span each of them takes between this sunrise and the next, with the one running now marked.
Nakshatra through the day
- Hasta until 12:13 PM Started before this sunrise
- Chitra until 7:27 AM next morning Still running at the next sunrise Running now
The day's Nakshatra is published as Hasta because that is what was running at local sunrise. Chitra is running right now. The Moon crosses one nakshatra in about 19 to 27 hours, so the segment rarely lines up with the day.
Yoga through the day
- Indra until 12:32 PM Started before this sunrise
- Vaidhriti until 7:27 AM next morning Still running at the next sunrise Running now
The day's Yoga is published as Indra because that is what was running at local sunrise. Vaidhriti is running right now. A nitya yoga runs a little under a day, so it changes at a different hour every day.
Karana through the day
- Naga until 11:50 AM Started before this sunrise
- Kimstughna until 11:52 PM Running now
- Bava until 7:27 AM next morning Still running at the next sunrise
The day's Karana is published as Naga because that is what was running at local sunrise. Kimstughna is running right now. A karana is half a tithi, so a Vedic day always carries at least two.

Key daily periods
Abhijit, Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda and Gulika
These periods move with local sunrise and sunset. They are not fixed clock times for all cities.
Favourable window
Abhijit Muhurat
A broadly favourable midday window for important work when a detailed muhurta is unavailable.
Favourable window
Amrit Kaal
Traditionally the most favourable window of the day, derived from the Moon's nakshatra rather than from sunrise alone.
Favourable window
Brahma Muhurat
The fourteenth of the night's fifteen muhurtas, ending one muhurta before sunrise. Traditionally the best window of the day for study, meditation and japa rather than for worldly beginnings.
Caution period
Rahu Kaal
Avoid beginning important work. Work already under way can continue.
Caution period
Yamaganda Kaal
Usually avoided for journeys, ceremonies and important new starts.
Caution period
Gulika Kaal
Use extra care with new commitments; traditions treat this as a caution period.
Caution period
Varjyam
A window traditionally left out of auspicious starts. Derived from the ruling nakshatra, so it moves every day.
Caution period
Durmuhurta First
A short inauspicious span fixed by weekday. Usually avoided for beginnings; ordinary work continues.
Caution period
Durmuhurta Second
A short inauspicious span fixed by weekday. Usually avoided for beginnings; ordinary work continues.
Caution period
Nisheeth Kaal
The middle of the night, used for night observances such as Maha Shivratri rather than for daily planning.

2° 58' 48" | Dhanishta | 3 | Retrograde |
| Ketu | Leo ruled by Sun |
2° 58' 48" | Magha | 1 | Retrograde |
Rahu and Ketu are the lunar nodes, not bodies, and move backwards by definition — their retrogression is what they are rather than a phase they are passing through.

Gowri Panchangam and Choghadiya divide the day identically and name the parts differently, so a period can be favourable in one scheme and not the other. That is a real disagreement between two traditions, not a calculation error — both are shown rather than blended.

Common questions
About today's Panchang
What is today's tithi in Toronto?
Amavasya was running at sunrise, which is what names the Vedic day. Pratipada is running now.
What time is sunrise in Toronto today?
Sunrise is 7:26 AM and sunset is 6:43 PM in Toronto today. Every window on this page is measured from that sunrise, not from midnight.
Which nakshatra is the Moon in today?
The Moon is in Hasta nakshatra at sunrise in Toronto, with Indra yoga and Naga karana.
Why does this Panchang differ from one printed elsewhere?
Panchang timings are computed from local sunrise, so they differ by city, and a printed almanac may use a different reckoning for the lunar month. This page states which reckoning it uses and shows both.
How these times are calculated
How this Panchang is calculated, and its limits
Location first
Sunrise and sunset are calculated from Swiss Ephemeris for Toronto at 43.6532, -79.3832, using America/Toronto.
Sunrise snapshot
The five limbs begin with the values active at local sunrise. The first Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana changes are calculated above; Vara changes at the next sunrise.
Proportional day divisions
Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda and Gulika use the traditional weekday segment of eight equal daylight parts. Abhijit uses the middle one-fifteenth of measured daylight. Choghadiya uses eight parts and Hora uses twelve.
Calendar convention matters
The Hindu month is a lunation, not the Sun's sign renamed. Both conventions are published above because they name the same day differently through the waning half: a Purnimanta month ends at the full Moon, an Amanta month at the new Moon. A lunation with no Sankranti is an Adhika (intercalary) month and is labelled as one. Festival and fasting dates are not published here yet.
Panchang is a traditional planning framework, not a guarantee of outcomes. For weddings, surgery, legal filings or major financial decisions, use an activity-specific personal muhurta and qualified professional advice.
