Yamagandam Today
Yamaganda kalam (yamagandam) is a daily inauspicious period associated with Yama. Its position rotates by weekday — like rahu kaal — and starting new activities during it is traditionally avoided.
This page computes today's yamagandam for your city along with gulika kalam, dur muhurat, varjyam and the auspicious windows.
Formula
Day is divided into 8 equal parts; Yamaganda occupies a weekday-specific slot
Example
On a Wednesday, yamagandam falls in a different daytime slot than on a Sunday — see the table.
How to Use
- 1. Select your city and date.
- 2. Click "Show Muhurat".
