Panchang Today, September 23, 2026: Shukla Paksh 12 (Dvadasi), Sravana, Shubh Muhurat, Rahu Kaal and More
Panchang Today is that steady daily compass many Indian homes still trust, a practical guide rooted in the Hindu calendar’s spiritual mathematics. The Moon’s mood, the day’s star, and the shifting yogas quietly shape how our plans land, whether it’s a family talk, a new start at work, or a simple purchase. When you align effort with the day’s rhythm, things feel less forced and more graceful, like rowing with the current instead of against it. It also keeps you close to your cultural roots, without making life complicated. Below are the important Panchang details for September 23, 2026 for India:
Date & Day Details
Date & Day Details
Wednesday arrives with Shukla Paksh 12 (Dvadasi) as the running tithi, ending at 22:50:33, after which Shukla Paksh 13 (Trayodasi) begins. Dvadasi in the bright fortnight carries a clean, clarifying feel. It’s the Moon nearing fullness, so intentions strengthen and decisions feel firmer. This is a good tithi for organised effort, closing pending items, and taking up disciplines that need steadiness, like a study schedule, a fitness routine, or a long overdue home clean-up. Yet Dvadasi also asks for purity in actions. If you cut corners today, the mind remembers it later.
The nakshatra is Sravana, ending at 09:09:13, then moving into Dhanistha. Sravana is linked with listening, learning, and the quiet power of paying attention. Its presiding deity is Vishnu, the preserver, so the day favours actions that protect, restore, and improve. Think of it like watering a plant that’s been drooping. A sincere conversation with family, a careful review of finances, or polishing a work presentation suits Sravana well. Before 09:09:13, give priority to tasks that need good listening and correct information. After the shift to Dhanistha, the tone becomes more active and achievement-oriented. Dhanistha has a rhythm to it, like a drumbeat. So the second half of the day can support team effort, coordination, and getting things moving.
The Moon stays in Capricorn 21.35 for most of the day, then transitions at 23/09/2026 21:56:56 into Aquarius. Capricorn Moon energy is practical, a little stern, and focused on results. You may feel less tolerant of laziness, including your own. This is useful for office deadlines, paperwork, and budget discipline. Later, once the Moon steps into Aquarius, the mind opens up. Ideas come quicker, you may want to reach out to friends, or think beyond the usual routine. If you’ve been stuck in a rigid viewpoint, that late transition can bring relief.
Yoga is Sukarma, ending at 16:27:01, followed by Dhriti. Sukarma supports constructive actions and clean efforts, the kind that don’t create future mess. Dhriti brings holding power, patience, and the ability to stay with a responsibility without getting distracted. Karan starts with Bava until 10:21:45, then Balava runs till 22:50:33. Both are steady, human-friendly karans, good for practical work, travel planning, and routine commitments. In short, the cosmic weather says: do your work properly, listen carefully in the morning, and build momentum as the day matures.
Auspicious Timings (Shubh Muhurat)
Auspicious Timings (Shubh Muhurat)
If you want to start the day with a calm heart, Brahma Muhurta from 2026-09-23 04:11:42 to 2026-09-23 04:59:18 is a beautiful pocket of silence. In traditional thought, this is when the mind
is least cluttered, like a clear sky before birds begin their chorus. Use it for japa, prayer, or even a quiet planning session with pen and paper. A small sankalp taken here tends to stick.
Pratah Sandhya runs from 2026-09-23 04:35:30 to 2026-09-23 05:46:54. This is ideal for morning puja, Surya arghya, reading a few verses, or simply sitting with a glass of warm water and setting your intention for the day. Your home atmosphere responds to this, even if only one person does it.
Siddha Yoga is available from 2026-09-23 05:46:54 to 2026-09-23 22:50:08. Siddha Yoga is valued for actions meant to succeed, especially efforts that need the blessing of smooth progress. Good windows for applying for something, sending a proposal, starting a disciplined practice, or taking a clear decision after due thought.
Vijay Muhurta from 2026-09-23 13:51:34 to 2026-09-23 14:40:02 supports victories, not only in competitions but also in everyday battles like completing a tough task or handling a difficult meeting. If you must have an important discussion, try to place it closer to this window.
As evening arrives, Godhuli Muhurta from 2026-09-23 17:53:37 to 2026-09-23 18:17:25 carries the soft, sacred light of dusk, good for lighting a diya and offering simple gratitude. Sayahana Sandhya extends from 2026-09-23 17:53:37 to 2026-09-23 19:05:01 and suits family prayers, temple visits, and calming the mind after a busy day.
For deeper spiritual work, Nishita Muhurta is 2026-09-23 23:26:49 to 2026-09-24 00:14:25. Amrit Kalam follows from 2026-09-23 23:34:18 to 2026-09-24 01:15:58, a nourishing, uplifting period for mantra, meditation, and heartfelt prayer.
Choghadiya also supports planning. Day auspicious slots show Laabh @ 05:46, Amrit @ 07:17, Shubh @ 10:19, and Laabh @ 16:22. At night, Shubh @ 19:23, Amrit @ 20:52, and Laabh @ 26:48 offer supportive stretches for peaceful family time or focused study.
Inauspicious Timings
Inauspicious Timings
Rahu Kaal today falls from 11:50 to 13:20. The detailed Panchang entry also notes rahu_kaal from 2026-09-23 11:50:15 to 2026-09-23 13:21:05. Rahu Kaal is that foggy stretch where intentions can get tangled and decisions may later feel regrettable. Avoid starting new ventures, signing contracts, making big financial commitments, or placing major online orders in this window. Keep your wallet closed today, at least during this period. If something can wait, let it wait.
So what can you do during Rahu Kaal? Keep it simple and inward. Routine work is fine. Housekeeping tasks are fine. If anxiety rises, sit for a few minutes and chant the Rahu mantra, “Om Raam Rahave Namaha”. Even 11 repetitions can steady the mind. A short prayer, a cup of water offered to a plant, or quiet breathing can cut through Rahu’s restlessness.
Other inauspicious periods also deserve respect. Yamaganda runs from 2026-09-23 07:17:44 to 2026-09-23 08:48:34, often avoided for fresh beginnings. Gulika Kaal is shown as gulkai_kaal from 2026-09-23 10:19:25 to 2026-09-23 11:50:15. If you have errands, try to finish your most important ones before this heaviness sets in.
Dur Muhurtam is from 2026-09-23 11:26:10 to 2026-09-23 12:14:10, sitting close to Rahu Kaal, so avoid initiating key talks or launching anything risky around late morning. Varjyam from 2026-09- 23 13:26:20 to 2026-09-23 15:08:49 is another patch where flow can break, like a sudden headwind on an open road. If possible, schedule routine tasks, not important outcomes, in that time.
The Panchang also marks mrityu_yoga from 2026-09-22 21:43:54 to 2026-09-23 05:45:54. Since much of it ends around early morning, don’t rush into impulsive decisions right after waking. Let the day settle.
There are longer caution flags too. Baana (Chora) runs from 2026-09-23 11:18:54 to 2026-09-24 05:47:17, suggesting extra care with belongings, travel arrangements, and careless spending. Panchaka begins at 2026-09-23 21:57:54 and continues till 2026-09-24 05:47:17, so keep night plans simple and avoid needless risk.
Choghadiya inauspicious periods during the day include Kaal @ 08:48, Rog @ 11:50, and Udveg @ 13:20. At night, Udveg @ 17:53, Rog @ 23:50, Kaal @ 25:19, and Udveg @ 28:17 suggest you should keep emotions steady and not pick fights when everyone is tired.
Rahu Kaal Timings Across India
Rahu Kaal Timings Across India
Rahu Kaal changes from place to place across India because it is calculated using local sunrise, and sunrise shifts with longitude and regional positioning. That’s why the same weekday can show different Rahu Kaal windows in different parts of the country. The table below shows Rahu Kaal for major Indian cities, helping you plan more accurately based on where you are.
City Rahu Kaal
Mumbai 12:30 - 14:01

Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise & Moonset
Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise & Moonset
Sunrise is at 05:46:12 and sunset is at 17:53:55. These two anchors hold the day together like the banks of a river, giving rhythm to work, rest, and worship. If you can, take a moment near sunrise for a short prayer or a mindful breath. It sets the tone, and even your commute feels less irritating when you start centred.
Moonrise is at 03:50:30 PM. That mid-afternoon Moon appearance often stirs emotions quietly, especially under a Capricorn Moon that prefers control. You may feel a push to finish tasks, to prove a point, to get things in order. Use that energy for completion, not for criticism.
Moonset is at 03:22:37 AM, Sep 24. Late night and early morning hours carry a more private current. If sleep is light, don’t scroll endlessly. A short mantra, a few lines of journaling, or simply deep breathing helps the mind settle. The day’s cycle suggests balanced effort. Work in daylight, soften your edges at dusk, and keep the night for rest and prayer where possible.
Vrat/Festival Information & Recommendations
Vrat/Festival Information & Recommendations
Vamana Jayanti is observed today, in the Hindu month of Bhadrapada (Amanta). This festival remembers Lord Vishnu’s Vamana avatar, the small brahmachari who arrived with a humble request and revealed a cosmic form. The story turns on King Bali’s generosity and the test of ego. Bali offers land measured by three steps. Vamana expands, covers earth and heaven in two steps, and asks where the third should go. Bali bows his head, offering himself. It’s a tale that teaches something simple and sharp. Real dharma includes humility, and real power doesn’t need
loudness.
How do you keep Vamana Jayanti meaningfully in a busy weekday? Keep it simple and sincere. Offer tulsi if you have it. Light a diya in the evening during Godhuli Muhurta from 2026-09-23 17:53:37 to 2026-09-23 18:17:25, and speak a short prayer to Vishnu for balance and right thinking. Charity is also a strong expression of this day. If you can, donate food grains, stationery for students, or a small amount towards someone’s medical need. Don’t make it a show. Make it clean.
Sravana nakshatra in the morning supports listening and learning, so if elders share a story or advice today, don’t brush it off. Even a small suggestion can save you trouble later. With Dvadasi running till 22:50:33, keep your habits pure. Eat lighter in the evening if possible. Speak less harshly. A day like this remembers words.
For relationships, Capricorn Moon energy can make you strict and slightly impatient. Ask yourself, are you trying to correct someone, or are you trying to connect? Choose connection. If a family discussion is pending, pick a calm slot, and avoid raising it in the middle of Rahu Kaal from 11:50 to 13:20.
For career and work, this Wednesday supports steady output. Put your head down and finish what’s been dragging. Your boss will notice reliability more than dramatic ideas. Try to schedule important presentations or decisive action closer to Vijay Muhurta from 2026-09-23 13:51:34 to 2026-09-23 14:40:02, and keep late morning conservative because Dur Muhurtam and Rahu Kaal cluster there.
For spiritual practice, Siddha Yoga from 2026-09-23 05:46:54 to 2026-09-23 22:50:08 gives a long supportive run. Even ten minutes of japa or a chapter of a sacred text can feel more effective. If you’re awake late, Amrit Kalam from 2026-09-23 23:34:18 to 2026-09-24 01:15:58 is ideal for quiet prayer and asking for the strength to stay humble when life gives you success.
End the day like Vamana’s lesson, with simplicity and truth. Do one act of charity, finish one pending task, and speak one kind sentence you’ve been postponing. Keep your spending in check during the inauspicious windows, and plan your important work in the auspicious ones. Actionable advice: write down your top three tasks before breakfast, complete the hardest one
before noon, and light a diya at dusk while offering a short Vishnu prayer for steady mind and right action.
