Essential Hindu Calendar Insights for November 15: Travel Cautions and Auspicious Times

New Delhi, November 14 (Daily Kiran) : The Hindu calendar, or Panchang, holds significant importance in Hinduism. It is consulted before undertaking any auspicious activities, such as travel, investments, or rituals. The Panchang is based on the positions of the sun, moon, and other celestial bodies.

On November 15, the sixth day of the waxing phase of Kartik month will commence at 11:24 PM on Saturday and last until 2:01 AM on Sunday. Following this, the seventh day will begin, continuing until 4:19 AM on November 17. Sunrise on Sunday will occur at 6:44 AM, with sunset at 5:38 PM. The moon will rise at 11:34 AM and set at 10:35 PM.

Sunday will witness Gand Yoga, considered the tenth among the 27 nityas. Governed by the fire deity, this yoga symbolizes difficulties and struggles. Individuals born under its influence may experience mental instability or excessive anxiety.

The auspicious Abhijit Muhurat will take place from 11:49 AM to 12:33 PM. This period is deemed the most favorable time of the day, lasting approximately 48 minutes. Activities initiated during this time are believed to eliminate negative influences.

Additionally, Amritkal will occur from 4:38 PM to 6:26 PM. This time is regarded as highly auspicious, filled with positive energy, making it ideal for new ventures, investments, and significant travel.

Conversely, Rahukal will run from 4:16 PM to 5:38 PM, a period traditionally avoided for starting new or auspicious tasks. This time is calculated by dividing the daylight hours into eight equal parts, each lasting around 90 minutes.

Yamgand Kal, associated with the deity of death, Yama, will be observed from 12:11 PM to 1:33 PM. This time is considered inauspicious for new endeavors, including business ventures and travel.

Gulik Kal, deemed a ‘poisonous time,’ will occur from 2:54 PM to 4:16 PM. It is advised to refrain from starting new projects during this period, although ongoing tasks may continue.

On this day, the sun will be positioned in Libra, which is considered a weakened state for the sun. This placement can lead to challenges in decision-making due to diminished self-confidence.

The moon will transit through Capricorn, a sign ruled by Saturn, symbolizing discipline and hard work. Individuals influenced by this placement are often dedicated and responsible, favoring practical approaches over emotional responses.

Traveling west on this day is discouraged due to the presence of Dishashool, which is considered an inauspicious direction for journeys.
