Today’s Panchang and sunrise-sunset time: Know the main astronomical calculations of 26 October 2026
According to Vedic calendar, today is Vaar Monday, 26 October 2026. Today, in the capital Lucknow and major areas of North India, sunrise will be around 06:15 am to 06:20 am, while sunset will be around 05:42 pm in the evening. Today, the position of the Moon and the transit of constellations will affect the people of all the twelve zodiac signs differently. According to astrological calculations, today can prove to be very favorable for mental concentration, creative work and business agreements. The five main parts of the calendar—Vara, Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana—together determine the energy of the day. Since it is Monday, it is considered especially fruitful to worship the Lord of Gods, Mahadev, Lord Shiva and the Moon, which removes the mental stress of life and the obstacles in work automatically disappear.
Time of Rahukaal and Yamagand: Do not do any new work even by mistake today during these inauspicious times.
In astrology, there are some time intervals in the 24 hours of the day which are considered inauspicious or prohibited, the most prominent of which is ‘Rahukaal’. Today, 26 October 2026, Rahukaal time will generally be between 07:30 PM to 09:00 PM (or morning session as per Panchangam time). Acharyas and scholars always advise that starting any new business, house warming, signing important papers or auspicious work should not be done during Rahukaal, because the possibility of obstruction or failure in the work done during this period increases. Apart from this, today the time of ‘Yamgand Kaal’ and ‘Durmhuhurta’ will also be in the afternoon, hence it is advised to avoid any kind of long journey or risky financial investment. Chanting the Panchakshar Mantra of Lord Shiva ‘Om Namah Shivay’ during inauspicious times reduces the negative effects of the planets to a great extent.
