New Delhi, August 1: The Hindu calendar, or Panchang, holds significant importance in Hinduism. Before undertaking any auspicious activities, travel, investments, 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 2, 2026 (Sunday), the fourth day of the Krishna Paksha in the month of Shravan (Sawan) will last until 11:15 PM. After this, the Panchami Tithi will commence. Observing the Sankashti Chaturthi fast is believed to please Lord Ganesha, who helps remove obstacles and troubles from the lives of devotees.
On this day, sunrise will occur at 6:01 AM, and sunset will be at 7:04 PM. The moon will rise at 9:26 PM and set at 9:58 AM the following day. According to the Panchang, on August 2, 2026, the sun will remain in the Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra until 9:37 PM, after which it will transition to the Uttara Bhadrapada. The moon will stay in the Purva Bhadrapada until 9:36 PM, followed by the start of the Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra.
On Sunday, there will be no Harshan Yoga, but Atigand Yoga will prevail. The Abhijit Muhurat, considered the most auspicious time of the day, will be from 12:07 PM to 12:59 PM. The Amrit Kaal will last from 1:09 PM to 2:58 PM.
Rahu Kaal will occur from 5:26 PM to 7:04 PM, while Gulika Kaal will be from 3:48 PM to 5:26 PM. Additionally, Yamgand Kaal will be from 12:33 PM to 2:10 PM. Traditional beliefs advise against starting new ventures during these times, as they are considered inauspicious.
On Sunday, the sun will be in Cancer, while the moon will be in Aquarius. The south direction 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 adopted before departure.
