Important Dates and Auspicious Moments in Purushottam Month

New Delhi, May 31: The sacred Purushottam Month, dedicated to the worship of Lord Narayan, is currently underway. The 16th day of this month falls on June 1, 2026 (Monday), which will be celebrated as the Jyestha Shukla Pratipada Tithi. On this day, the auspicious Abhijit Muhurat and Vijay Muhurat will coincide, making it favorable for religious activities, starting new ventures, and making significant decisions.

Purushottam Month is considered a time of special grace from Lord Vishnu. This period emphasizes fasting, prayers, and charitable acts. The combination of Abhijit and Vijay Muhurat on June 1 presents a rare opportunity. On that Monday, sunrise will occur at 5:24 AM, while sunset will be at 7:14 PM. The moon will rise at 8:30 PM and set the following day (June 2) at 5:35 AM.

The Pratipada Tithi will last until 4:37 PM on Monday, after which the Dwitiya Tithi will begin. However, according to the Udayatithi (the date at sunrise), Pratipada will be observed throughout the day. The Jyestha Nakshatra will remain until 7:08 PM, accompanied by Siddha Yoga and Karan Kaulav.

Performing rituals during Brahma Muhurat and Amrit Kaal is considered highly beneficial. Conversely, it is advised to avoid travel, starting new work, or any significant tasks during Rahukal.

Regarding the auspicious timings on Monday, Brahma Muhurat will be from 4:02 AM to 4:43 AM, Abhijit Muhurat from 11:51 AM to 12:47 PM, and Vijay Muhurat from 2:38 PM to 3:33 PM. Amrit Kaal will be observed from 9:16 AM to 11:03 AM, and the twilight period (Ghodhuli Muhurat) will be from 7:13 PM to 7:34 PM.

As for inauspicious times, Rahukal will last from 7:08 AM to 8:51 AM, during which no auspicious activities should commence. Yamagand will be from 10:35 AM to 12:19 PM, Gulika Kaal from 2:03 PM to 3:47 PM, and Durmuhurat will be effective from 12:47 PM to 1:42 PM and again from 3:33 PM to 4:28 PM.
