In the Hindu Sanatan tradition, it is considered extremely important to observe the daily Panchang before starting any new work, business deal, house warming, auspicious ritual, travel or religious worship. According to Vedic astrology, the five major parts of the calendar—Tithi, Vaar, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana—together determine the positive and negative energy of that day. Today is 20 September 2026, Sunday. Today is considered very auspicious and fruitful for the grace and special worship of Lord Sun.
Today has special significance from the religious point of view because today two very beneficial auspicious yogas are being formed due to the combination of planets and constellations. Religious and financial work done in such yogas provides long term stability and prosperity. However, while starting any auspicious work, it is necessary to take special care of the most inauspicious period of the day i.e. Rahu period, which will be effective today evening.
Based on the Vedic calendar, today’s astronomical and calendrical conditions are clearly indicating auspiciousness. Today, at the time of sunrise, the calculation of Navami/Dashami Tithi of Shukla Paksha under Bhadrapada/Ashwin month will be effective. Since it is Sunday, worshiping Sun God, offering Arghya from a copper vessel and reciting Aditya Hridaya Stotra are considered to provide position, prestige and health in life.
Talking about the constellations, today we will see the auspicious effect of Uttarashadha or Shravan Nakshatra, which with its influence helps in giving the person intellectual stability, decision making ability and social prestige. Studies, spiritual meditation and property related decisions made under the influence of this nakshatra provide positive results.
According to astrological calculations, two major auspicious yogas are being formed today, which are increasing the importance of the day manifold. The first yoga is ‘Shobhan/Saubhagya Yoga’, which is considered best for any type of religious worship, charity and family harmony. The second yoga is the combination of ‘Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga’ or Ravi Yoga, which is formed by the combination of Sunday and a special constellation.
It is believed in the scriptures that when there is a combination of Sarvartha Siddhi or Ravi Yoga, then any auspicious work started during that period is completed without any hindrance. This yoga is considered extremely miraculous in reducing the ill effects of inauspicious planets and speeding up stalled work. If you want to start a new business, are planning to purchase a vehicle or jewellery, then definitely take advantage of these combinations.
In Vedic astrology, Rahu period is considered the most negative time of the day. During the Rahu period, the influence of the planet Rahu is at its peak, due to which one may face obstacles, financial loss or mental stress in the work started during this period. Due to today being Sunday, the time of Rahu Kaal will be from late afternoon till evening.
Rahu Kaal on Sunday generally lasts from around 04:30 PM to 06:00 PM (a difference of a few minutes is possible as per local time). Devotees and seekers are specially advised not to start any new work, sign important contracts or leave for any distant journey during this 90 minute period. During this time, it is considered auspicious to recite only the Panchakshari mantra of Lord Shiva ‘Namah Shivay’ or Hanuman Chalisa.
Depending on the location and latitude-longitude, there is a difference of a few minutes in the Panchangi Muhurtas. The probable time of sunrise and sunset today in Uttar Pradesh’s capital Lucknow, religious city Varanasi, Prayagraj, Kanpur, Gorakhpur and Delhi-NCR will be as follows:
Today, sunrise in Lucknow and Varanasi region will be between 05:50 to 05:55 in the morning, while sunset will be seen between 06:10 to 06:15 in the evening. Sunrise in Delhi-NCR will be around 06:08 am and sunset will be around 06:22 pm. Offering water mixed with Roli, Akshat and red flowers to the Sun God within 1 hour of sunrise in the morning strengthens the Sun planet in the horoscope and increases self-confidence.
Take special care of the time cycle given below to successfully complete your important tasks:
Auspicious time: Abhijeet Muhurta: Around 11:48 pm to 12:38 pm. (This is the best time of the day, in which all types of auspicious and professional work can be done). Amrit Kaal: 08:30 am to 10:00 am. Vijay Muhurta: 02:15 pm to 03:05 pm.
Inauspicious time: Rahu Kaal: 04:30 PM to 06:00 PM. Yamgand Kaal: 12:00 noon to 01:30 pm. Gulik Kaal: 03:00 PM to 04:30 PM. Durmuhurta: 04:40 PM to 05:30 PM.
Dishasul is considered to be in the west direction on Sunday. This means that one should avoid traveling towards the west today. If due to any unavoidable reason it is absolutely necessary to travel in the west direction, then before leaving the house, start the journey by looking in the mirror, eating some porridge or ghee and paying obeisance to Lord Surya.
Today on Sunday, to get the blessings of Sun God, put water, red sandalwood and jaggery in a copper vessel and offer Arghya to Sun God. Along with this, donating wheat, red cloth or copper vessel to any needy or Brahmin removes the obstacles in career and maintains good health.
