Avoid new beginnings during Rahu Kaal.Festival and Vrat TodayKajari TeejBasis: Bhadrapada Krishna Tritiya; Region: NorthHeramba SankashtiBasis: Bhadrapada Krishna ChaturthiWhat Today's Panchang MeansIn traditional Panchang interpretation, Somvar (Monday) supports a quieter, more receptive approach, which fits well with Krishna Tritiya, traditionally associated with sorting, reviewing and handling matters with patience. Revati Nakshatra adds a finishing quality, favouring closure, completion and a gentle transition from one stage to the next.As the Moon moves from Pisces to Aries, the mood may gradually shift from reflection towards action. This makes it useful to begin the day by observing, planning and setting priorities before moving into practical follow-through.How to Use the DayWork and important decisionsThe day may work best when planning and execution are kept distinct. The earlier hours can be used for reviewing, drafting, checking facts and identifying incomplete work, while the later shift towards a more direct mood may support calls, submissions and decisions that have already been considered.Keep priorities realistic and focus on improving an existing process, closing a pending file or preparing a presentation rather than announcing an ambitious new direction without sufficient groundwork. If a decision involves money, authority or a public commitment, pay close attention to wording and timelines. Recheck assumptions before others begin depending on your plans.Relationships and communicationToday's energy favours calm, honest communication without unnecessary drama. Revati Nakshatra traditionally supports sensitivity and attentive listening, making it useful to hear someone out before responding.As the day becomes more action-oriented, avoid allowing quick reactions to turn a small disagreement into a final judgment. Family coordination, practical help and thoughtful messages may carry more weight than grand declarations. If you need to set a boundary or clear up an old misunderstanding, be direct but respectful. When someone's behaviour seems inconsistent, ask for clarity rather than assuming their intentions.Reflection and spiritual routineSomvar and Krishna Tritiya make the day suitable for a little inner housekeeping. Consider what has become cluttered in your schedule, attention or commitments and what can be simplified.Revati encourages completion, so reflection can be practical: what needs to be finished, what can be released and what deserves another sincere effort? A few quiet minutes of reading, journalling, silent prayer or simple breath awareness may be enough to settle the mind. Choose one clear intention and carry it through rather than looking for a dramatic breakthrough.Panchang Facts at a GlanceDate and VaarAugust 31, 2026, Monday (Somvar)Lunar MonthAmanta: Shravana; Purnimanta: BhadrapadaTithi (lunar day)Krishna Tritiya until 8:51 am; then Krishna ChaturthiNakshatra (lunar constellation)Revati until 3:23 am, Tuesday; then AshwiniYog (Sun-Moon combination)Ganda until 1:49 am, Tuesday; then VriddhiKaran (half-tithi division)Vishti until 8:51 am; then Bava until 8:19 pm; then Balava until 7:41 am, TuesdayMoon sign (zodiac position)Pisces until 3:23 am, Tuesday; then AriesAuspicious Timings (Shubh Muhurat)PeriodStartEndBrahma Muhurta4:28 am5:13 amPratah Sandhya4:51 am5:58 amAbhijit Muhurta11:55 am12:46 pmAmrit Kalam1:01 am, Tuesday2:36 am, TuesdayVijaya Muhurta2:28 pm3:19 pmGodhuli Muhurta6:44 pm7:06 pmSayahana Sandhya6:44 pm7:51 pmNishita Muhurta11:59 pm12:44 am, TuesdayThose who follow Panchang timings may find these periods especially supportive:Brahma Muhurta: 4:28 am to 5:13 amThe day's highlighted window, traditionally suited to quiet planning, reflection or prayer.

Use the time instead for review, preparation, maintenance or work already underway.Other caution periodsYamaganda, Gulika Kaal, the two Dur Muhurtam periods and Varjyam are also traditionally treated as less suitable for significant fresh starts, particularly when a matter is time-sensitive or symbolically important. Use these periods for routine duties, checking details and background work where possible.Vidaal YogVidaal Yog continues for much of the day, so extra care with communication, timing and commitments may be useful. Avoid overcommitting or allowing pressure to shape important decisions.Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise and MoonsetSunrise5:58 amSunset6:44 pmMoonrise8:25 pmMoonset8:47 amRahu Kaal Timings Across IndiaCityRahu KaalMumbai7:57 am to 9:31 amDelhi (NCR)7:34 am to 9:10 amBengaluru7:41 am to 9:14 amHyderabad7:35 am to 9:09 amChennai7:30 am to 9:03 amAhmedabad7:56 am to 9:30 amPune7:53 am to 9:27 amKolkata6:53 am to 8:28 amJaipur7:40 am to 9:16 amKochi7:48 am to 9:20 amLucknow7:20 am to 8:55 amIndore7:43 am to 9:17 amGuwahati6:38 am to 8:13 amChandigarh7:34 am to 9:10 amSurat7:56 am to 9:30 amVisakhapatnam7:16 am to 8:49 amNagpur7:31 am to 9:05 amCoimbatore7:44 am to 9:17 amVaranasi7:13 am to 8:48 amBhubaneswar7:04 am to 8:38 amOverallTraditional Panchang guidance suggests a Monday that favours quiet beginnings, careful action and thoughtful timing.
