August 22 Panchang: Worship of Lord Vishnu and Shani Dev is Auspicious

New Delhi, August 21: The Panchang holds significant importance in Hinduism. Before undertaking any auspicious work, travel, investment, or rituals, it is essential to consult the Panchang. This calendar is based on the positions of the sun, moon, and other celestial bodies.

On August 22, 2026 (Saturday), the Shukla Paksha Dashami Tithi of the Shravan month will last until 2:00 AM. Following this, the Ekadashi Tithi will commence. On this day, worshiping Lord Vishnu and Shani Dev is particularly recommended, as Saturday is dedicated to Shani Dev.

Sunrise will occur at 6:09 AM, and sunset will be at 6:50 PM. The moon will rise at 2:51 PM and set at 1:27 AM. According to the Panchang, on August 22, 2026, the sun will be in the Magha Nakshatra, while the moon will remain in the Jyeshtha Nakshatra until 2:50 PM, after which it will enter the Mula Nakshatra.

On Saturday, there will be no Harshan Yoga; instead, Vishkambh Yoga will prevail. The Abhijit Muhurat, considered the most auspicious time, will be from 12:04 PM to 12:55 PM. The Amrit Kaal will last from 4:55 AM to 6:43 AM.

Rahu Kaal will be from 9:19 AM to 12:30 PM, and Gulika Kaal will occur from 6:09 AM to 7:44 AM. Additionally, Yamgand Kaal will be from 2:04 PM to 3:39 PM. Traditionally, it is advised to avoid starting new ventures during these times, as they are considered inauspicious.

On this day, the sun will be in the Leo sign, while the moon will be in the Scorpio sign. The direction of the east will have a directional fault (Disha Shool). According to astrology and Vastu, it is advisable to avoid traveling in this direction. If travel is unavoidable, specific astrological remedies should be followed before departure.
