August 24 Panchang: Last Monday of Sawan to Please Lord Shiva

New Delhi, August 23: The Panchang holds significant importance in Hinduism. It is consulted before any auspicious event, journey, investment, or worship. The Panchang is based on the positions of the sun, moon, and other celestial bodies.

On August 24, 2026, the twelfth date of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Sawan will begin at 4:19 AM and last until 6:21 AM the following day. This day marks the last and fourth Monday of Sawan. Those who have not yet observed the Monday fast can do so on this final occasion. Worship performed on the last Monday of Sawan yields special blessings, making Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati very pleased.

On Monday, sunrise will occur at 6:10 AM, with sunset at 6:48 PM. The moon will rise at 4:27 PM and set the next day at 3:16 AM. According to the Panchang, on August 24, 2026, the sun will be positioned in the Magha Nakshatra, while the moon will remain in the Purvashada Nakshatra until around 8:28 PM, after which it will transition to the Uttarashada Nakshatra.

There will be no Harshan Yoga on Monday, but Preeti Yoga will be effective until around 7:03 AM. After that, Ayushman Yoga will take effect. The Abhijit Muhurat, considered the most auspicious time of the day, will be from 12:04 PM to 12:54 PM. The Amrit Kal will last from 3:06 PM to 4:53 PM.

Rahu Kaal will occur from 7:45 AM to 9:19 AM, and Gulik Kaal will be from 2:04 PM to 3:38 PM. Additionally, Yamgand Kaal will be from 10:54 AM to 12:29 PM. Traditional beliefs suggest avoiding new ventures during these times, as they are considered inauspicious.

On this day, the sun will be in the Leo zodiac, while the moon will be in Sagittarius. There will be a directional obstacle in the east. According to astrology and Vastu, it is advisable to avoid traveling in this direction. If travel is unavoidable, specific astrological remedies can be adopted before departure.
