Lagna RashiNotes: All timings are represented in 24-hour notation in local time of Kavali, India with DST adjustment (if applicable).
Hours which are past midnight are suffixed with next day date. In Panchang day starts and ends with sunrise.
In Vedic Astrology Lagna, which is also known as Uday Lagna or Rising Sign, is given the utmost importance. In Western Astrology it is known as Ascendant. Lagna is the Zodiac Sign rising at the Eastern horizon. In a Hindu day, from Sunrise to Sunrise, all twelve zodiacs or Rashis rise on the Eastern horizon in a cycle.
The duration of Lagna i.e. the time one zodiac takes to cross the horizon is not same for any two locations and varies from place to place. Even for a single location duration of all Lagnas is not same.
Lagna plays a crucial role in Horoscope of a person. Apart from Horoscope, Lagna is considered while fixing any Muhurat. All Muhurat timings like Vivah Muhurat and Griha Pravesh Muhurat need Lagna Shuddhi in which a fortified Lagna is chosen.
The location based time of sunrise is given here. The definition of Sunrise propounded by various scholars like Varahamihira are considered as for determining the time of sunrise. The difference between Hindu and astronomical sunrise is also clarified.
The day Choghadiya and night Choghadiya are given here. Shubha Choghadiya is used for checking auspicious time to start new work. Each Choghadiya Muhurta is of approximately 4 Ghati, hence it is called Choghadiya.
The special Yoga created by the transit of the Chandra in Kumbha and Meena Rashi with the Dhanishta, Shatabhisha, Purva Bhadrapada, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati Nakshtra is called Panchak. The inauspicious period of 5 days of Panchak is prohibited for auspicious works.
The Beginning and End of Bhadra is given for each month of the year. Bhadra is also known as Vishti Karana. During Bhadra, all kind of auspicious activities like Mundan, Marriage, Housewarming, Pilgrimage and starting a New Business, etc are forbidden.
