New Delhi, August 7: The Panchang holds significant importance in Hinduism. For centuries, it has been a tradition to consult the Panchang before undertaking any auspicious activities, such as rituals, travel, home entry, investments, or starting new ventures. The Panchang provides vital information about the date, day, constellation, yoga, karan, sunrise, sunset, Rahukal, and auspicious or inauspicious timings, helping individuals plan their day effectively.
August 8, 2026, which falls on a Saturday, brings several important astrological combinations. This day marks the Dashami Tithi of the Krishna Paksha in the Shravana month, lasting until 2:00 PM. Following this, the Ekadashi Tithi will commence. The Dashami Tithi is considered favorable for completing unfinished tasks, systematically advancing plans, and fulfilling responsibilities. Many devotees regard Saturday as an auspicious day to worship Lord Shani, circumambulate the Peepal tree, light sesame oil lamps, and donate to those in need.
On this day, sunrise will occur at 5:29 AM, and sunset will be at 6:40 PM. The moonrise will take place at 12:19 AM, while moonset will be at 2:46 PM. According to the Panchang, the Rohini Nakshatra will remain effective until 4:52 PM, which is believed to be conducive for stability, prosperity, creativity, and auspicious endeavors. Following this, the next Nakshatra will take effect. Additionally, the Dhruva Yoga will be present until 9:02 AM, considered favorable for stable and long-term projects. The Vrishti Karan will last until 1:57 PM, after which the next Karan will begin.
If you plan to start a new venture, perform a ritual, or make significant decisions, the Abhijit Muhurat will be from 11:38 AM to 12:30 PM, regarded as the most auspicious time of the day. Rahukal will be from 8:47 AM to 10:26 AM, Gulika Kaal from 5:29 AM to 7:08 AM, and Yamaghantakal from 1:43 PM to 3:22 PM. Traditional beliefs suggest avoiding the initiation of new and important tasks during these periods.
Regarding planetary positions, the Sun will be in Cancer, while the Moon will reside in Taurus, with the Moon’s direction considered to be south. On this day, the directional Shool will be in the east. If travel in the eastern direction is necessary, traditional remedies can be employed before embarking on the journey.
