Formula & methodology

Formula: Yamaganda Kaal = the weekday’s fixed eighth of daytime (Thu 1st, Wed 2nd, Tue 3rd, Mon 4th, Sun 5th, Sat 6th, Fri 7th)

The Yamaganda Calculator is built on a well-established calculation method. It uses the formula Yamaganda Kaal = the weekday’s fixed eighth of daytime (Thu 1st, Wed 2nd, Tue 3rd, Mon 4th, Sun 5th, Sat 6th, Fri 7th) to turn your inputs into a reliable result. A Yamaganda Calculator helps calculate yamaganda calculator using Vedic astrology, panchang, calendar, muhurat, Vastu or naming inputs. It gives an instant browser-based result with a transparent method and source The steps are shown on the page so you can follow the reasoning from input to output.

  1. Enter date and city coordinates with UTC offset.
  2. Local sunrise and sunset are computed (NOAA algorithm) and the day is cut into 8 equal parts.
  3. The weekday selects Yamaganda’s segment — e.g., 2nd on Wednesday, 1st on Thursday.
  4. Rahu Kaal and Gulika are listed beside it so you can clear all three at once.

Worked example — Delhi, Wednesday 10 Jun 2026: day 05:23–19:18, segment 1 h 44 m; Yamaganda is the 2nd segment, 07:07 – 08:52. Rahu Kaal that day is 12:21–14:05 and Gulika 10:36–12:21, so the clean morning window is 08:52–10:36.

Frequently asked questions

What is Yamaganda Kaal?
Yamaganda is a daily period of about 90 minutes linked to Yama, the lord of death. Like Rahu Kaal it is one-eighth of the daytime selected by weekday, and it is considered destructive of the fruits of work begun in it — travellers traditionally avoid departing during Yamaganda.
What time is Yamaganda today?
It moves with sunrise/sunset. The weekday fixes the segment: Thursday it opens the day at sunrise, Wednesday it is the second eighth (07:07–08:52 in Delhi on 10 Jun 2026), Friday it falls late afternoon. Enter your city above for exact local times.
Is Yamaganda worse than Rahu Kaal?
Most practice treats Rahu Kaal as the hardest taboo and Yamaganda as next, with a special emphasis on journeys. South-Indian almanacs often print both side by side and people pick start times that avoid Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda and Gulika together — which this page makes easy.
Can I continue work that is already running?
Yes — like other inauspicious Kaal windows, Yamaganda's restriction is on starting new or important work, not on continuing what is already underway. Finishing tasks, routine chores, and essential duties are generally acceptable. The calculator shows the daily Yamaganda window so you can schedule new initiatives, negotiations, or travel outside it.
Why do the times differ from my printed almanac?
Printed tables usually assume a 6 AM–6 PM day, giving fixed slots like 7:30–9:00. Real sunrise in Delhi on 10 Jun 2026 is 05:23, so every segment shifts earlier and stretches to 1 h 44 m. Computing from actual sun times is the accurate method; the fixed table is only an approximation.
