Planetary Horā · Day Lord Guru
Each hour of the day is ruled by a planet — the site's namesake. The highlighted horā is running now.
Reading the panchang. A tithi is one of 30 lunar days — the time the moon takes to gain 12° on the sun. A nakshatra is one of 27 lunar mansions (the sky's 360° divided by 27). The yoga is the angular relationship between sun and moon; the karana is half a tithi; the vara is the weekday. Together, these five (the "five limbs" — pancha-anga) are the foundation of every muhurta calculation in Vedic astrology.
