Tithi A lunar day — the time it takes the Moon to move 12° further from the Sun. A lunar month has 30 tithis, split into the waxing (Shukla) and waning (Krishna) fortnights.
Tritiya
Paksha One of the two lunar fortnights: Shukla (waxing, new moon to full moon) or Krishna (waning, full moon to new moon).
Vara The weekday, each ruled by a planet (Sunday: Sun, Monday: Moon, and so on) — one of the five elements of a daily Panchang.
Shanivar
स्वामी: Saturn
Nakshatra One of 27 lunar mansions (13°20' each) the Moon's position falls into — used for muhurta timing, compatibility, and Dasha calculations.
Shatabhisha
Pada A quarter (3°20°) of a nakshatra — each nakshatra has 4 padas, used for finer detail in matching and analysis. · Rahu
Yoga (Panchang) One of 27 combinations formed from the Sun and Moon's combined position — one of the five elements of a daily Panchang.
Shobhana
Karana Half of a tithi — there are 60 karanas in a lunar month, cycling through 11 named karanas.
Vanija
Rahu Kalam A daily inauspicious period (roughly 90 minutes) ruled by Rahu, timed differently each weekday — traditionally avoided for starting new ventures.
09:04 AM – 10:40 AM
Yamagandam A daily inauspicious period ruled by Yama, the god of death — like Rahu Kalam, traditionally avoided for auspicious activities.
01:50 PM – 03:25 PM
Gulika Kalam A daily inauspicious period associated with Gulika (a shadow point related to Saturn) — traditionally avoided for starting new ventures.
05:54 AM – 07:29 AM
Abhijit Muhurta The most auspicious ~48-minute window of the day, centered on local solar noon — considered favorable for starting important activities.
11:49 AM – 12:40 PM
Choghadiya The day and night each split into 8 periods, each ruled by a planet and labelled auspicious, inauspicious, or neutral — used to pick favorable windows for daily activities.
