How Yamagandam is calculated

Everything above comes from the same computation behind today's full Panchang, using Swiss Ephemeris positions and your city's actual coordinates rather than a national average.

For what these periods mean and how they are traditionally used — including their limits — read the Yamagandam guide. For choosing a time deliberately, see how muhurta is actually chosen.

The slow transits work on a different scale entirely — Saturn and Jupiter change sign in years rather than in hours. Shani Gochar, Guru Gochar, Rahu Ketu Gochar, Sade Sati, Mercury retrograde.

Timing guidance here is a framework for planning, not medical, legal or financial advice. Never delay medical care for a timing window.

Yamagandam questions, answered

What time does Yamagandam start in Sydney today?

The table above starts at sunrise in Sydney, which is 6:23 AM today. Every window on this page is measured from that sunrise, so the first period begins there rather than at midnight.

Which timezone are these Yamagandam times in?

All times on this page are local to Sydney, computed for Australia/Sydney (UTC+11:00). They are not converted from Indian Standard Time — sunrise is calculated for Sydney's own coordinates and the whole table is measured from it.

Why is Yamagandam different in Sydney than in Delhi?

Because the periods are divisions of the time between Sydney's own sunrise and sunset, not a national table. Sunrise differs across India by well over an hour, so a time computed for Delhi is wrong in Sydney by a meaningful margin.

How many Yamagandam periods are there?

4 are listed above for Sydney — the full set covering the daylight period this tool divides.

Yamagandam in other cities

These windows are derived from local sunrise, so they differ by city. A time computed for Delhi is wrong in Chennai by a meaningful margin.
