Tomorrow’s Panchang — Pune

Tomorrow’s Day Choghadiya

Why check tomorrow’s panchang?

Looking at tomorrow’s panchang in advance lets you plan important work around the auspicious windows and avoid the inauspicious ones. The most favourable times tomorrow are Brahma Muhurta (before sunrise, for prayer and study), the Abhijit Muhurta near midday, and Amrit Kaal; the periods to avoid for new beginnings are Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda and Gulika Kaal. Use the Day Choghadiya above to pick a good slot for a specific task. All times are computed for Pune and shift slightly by city.

What each element above means

• Tithi — the lunar day — vrats, festivals and auspicious work are fixed by it.
• Nakshatra — the Moon’s constellation — a suitable nakshatra is sought for success in a task.
• Yoga & Karana — Sun–Moon combinations that further refine the quality of the day.
• Abhijit Muhurta — the midday auspicious window — the best fallback when no other muhurat is free.
• Rahu Kaal / Yamaganda / Gulika — inauspicious periods — avoid starting new auspicious work in them.
• Choghadiya — good/bad slots of the day — pick a good slot for small tasks.

What changes from today to tomorrow in Pune

The tithi moves from Trayodashi today to Chaturdashi tomorrow. The Moon leaves Chitra for Swati.

Sunrise stays at 06:38 am (to the minute); Rahu Kaal moves from 09:28 am–10:54 am to 04:35 pm–06:00 pm. Rahu Kaal moves because it is the eighth part of the day between sunrise and sunset, and which part it occupies depends on the weekday — so it jumps rather than drifts.

The eight parts of tomorrow in Pune

Rahu Kaal is not a clock time — it is a share of the daylight. Sunrise to sunset is divided into eight equal parts, and one of them belongs to Rahu, one to Yama and one to Gulika. Today in Pune the day runs 06:38 am to 06:00 pm, so each part is about 85 minutes long.

Part boundaries are computed from the same sunrise and sunset as the timings above, so they agree to the minute.

Rahu Kaal by weekday

Which of the eight parts belongs to Rahu is fixed by the weekday, never by the date. That is the whole rule — everything else is arithmetic on your local sunrise and sunset, which is why the clock times differ between cities and drift through the year.

Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda and Gulika are not the same thing

All three are inauspicious day-parts derived the same way, and people often treat them as one. Tradition separates them. Rahu Kaal is the one watched most widely and is specifically a rule about beginnings — it argues against starting, not against continuing. Yamaganda is associated with obstruction and is chiefly avoided for travel and anything you need to arrive on time. Gulika, the portion assigned to Saturn’s son, carries the idea of repetition: whatever is done in it tends to recur, which is why tradition avoids it for funerals, debts and disputes but tolerates it for habits worth repeating.

One more practical note: Rahu Kaal applies to auspicious beginnings, not to ordinary life. Daily work, study, travel already underway, medicines, meals and emergencies are not governed by it in any traditional reading. If something genuinely cannot wait, the usual remedy is to begin it in Abhijit Muhurta on the same day — the short midday window listed above, which tradition treats as overriding most defects.

For the auspicious windows of the same day, see today’s Choghadiya, which divides both day and night into eight and names each one.

Why these timings are specific to Pune

Sunrise in Pune tomorrow is 06:38 am. Every window on this page is a fraction of the interval between local sunrise and sunset, so it moves with the place as well as the date. India keeps one clock, set to the 82.5°E meridian, but Pune sits about 8.6° west of it — roughly 35 minutes behind that meridian in solar terms. The sun therefore reaches the same position over Pune 35 minutes later than the clock suggests, and each of the eight parts shifts with it. That is why a Rahu Kaal or Choghadiya table copied from one city’s page is simply the wrong table for another, and why this page computes from Pune's own coordinates rather than reusing one national set of timings.
