Panchang Today is your steady daily guide to plan life with a little more precision, using the time tested wisdom of the Hindu calendar. When we check the tithi, nakshatra, yoga and the Moon’s mood, we don’t just follow tradition, we stay connected to our cultural roots and take smarter, calmer decisions. Some days ask you to push ahead. Some days ask you to pause and prune, like a gardener shaping a plant for better growth. This Wednesday carries a focused, no nonsense energy that rewards sincerity over show. Below are the important Panchang details for May 06, 2026 for India:
Date & Day Details
Date & Day DetailsWednesday arrives with Krishan Paksh 4 (Chaturthi) in the Krishna paksha, a lunar phase that naturally pulls the mind inward. Chaturthi is closely linked with Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, and that’s not just a poetic idea. In the waning Moon cycle, we are better at spotting what’s unnecessary, what’s clutter, and what is blocking progress. It’s a good day to clean up a pending task, tighten a budget, correct a mistake at work, or simply bring discipline to your routine. This tithi ends at 07:51:28, and after that Krishan Paksh 5 (Panchami) begins, so the morning carries a stronger Chaturthi flavor for prayer, restraint, and making peace with unfinished things.The nakshatra is Mula, ending at 15:53:44, after which P.Asadha takes over. Mula’s presiding deity is Nirriti, and its nature is about reaching the root. Not the surface story, the real reason. That’s why Mula days often feel intense, even if nothing dramatic happens. You may feel like questioning an old assumption, changing a plan, or cutting away what isn’t working. It supports research, deep cleaning, therapy like self reflection, and honest conversations. But it also demands care with words. If you speak sharply, it lands like a stone in a calm pond. After 15:53:44, P.Asadha brings a steadier current, more oriented towards progress and purpose. So keep the first half of the day for clearing and correcting, and the later hours for moving forward.The Moon sign remains in Sagittarius 8.5, and it transitions at 08/05/2026 01:26:22 to Capricorn. Sagittarius brings a big picture mood, faith, and a desire to do things with meaning. You may find yourself asking, “Why am I doing this at all?” That’s healthy, as long as you don’t turn every small duty into a debate. The coming Capricorn shift points to practicality and responsibility, so late night thoughts may become more serious and plan based.Yoga is Siddha, ending at 01:12:04, then Sadhya begins. Siddha supports accomplishment and skill, like a craftsman’s day where effort shows results. In karan, Balava runs until 07:51:28, then Kaulava lasts until 21:03:52, followed by Taitila. These karans are supportive for routine work, steady travel, and practical commitments, especially when you stay organized and don’t rush.
Auspicious Timings (Shubh Muhurat)
Auspicious Timings (Shubh Muhurat)Your day begins with a sacred quiet window, Brahma Muhurta from 2026-05-06 03:51:48 to 2026-05-06 04:34:52. If you’ve been wanting to restart a habit, this is the time. Even twenty minutes of japa, a short walk, or a simple prayer can set a clean tone for the entire Wednesday.Pratah Sandhya runs from 2026-05-06 04:13:20 to 2026-05-06 05:17:56, a lovely stretch for Surya arghya, chanting, and calm preparation for the day. It’s also good for students revising, because the mind catches concepts faster when the air is still and the phone is silent.Amrit Kalam appears from 2026-05-06 08:41:48 to 2026-05-06 10:29:40. This is a sweet spot for work that needs goodwill, like sending an important email, requesting help, initiating a family discussion, or starting a health routine. If you have to make a purchase, keep it sensible, and do it in this window rather than in a doubtful mood.Vijay Muhurta is from 2026-05-06 14:06:36 to 2026-05-06 14:59:28. Use it like a strong push of wind behind your sails. Present your work, attend an interview, take a decisive meeting, or tackle that task you’ve been postponing.As evening arrives, Godhuli Muhurta from 2026-05-06 18:30:56 to 2026-05-06 18:52:28 is ideal for lamp lighting and prayer at home. Sayahana Sandhya continues from 2026-05-06 18:30:56 to 2026-05-06 19:35:32, good for calming the mind after the day’s noise.Choghadiya also offers supportive pockets: Laabh @ 05:18, Amrit @ 06:57, Shubh @ 10:15, Laabh @ 16:51 in the daytime, and Shubh @ 19:51, Amrit @ 21:12, Laabh @ 26:35 at night. These are handy for everyday planning like calls, travel, payments, and starting study sessions.
Inauspicious Timings
Inauspicious TimingsRahu Kaal today is from 11:54 to 13:33. This period is traditionally seen as foggy for fresh starts. The mind can overestimate, people can misread intent, and small errors can multiply. So don’t sign contracts, don’t launch a new venture, and don’t make big financial commitments in this slot. Keep your wallet closed today, at least during this window. If you must work, stick to routine tasks, cleaning, filing, reviewing, and fixing.Rahu Kaal isn’t meant to scare you, it’s meant to guide you. Use it for inner work. A few rounds of breathwork, a quiet walk, or chanting Rahu’s mantra “Om Raam Rahave Namaha” can help. If you’re commuting, keep patience in the driver’s seat. Avoid heated arguments too, because words spoken in this time often come back later.From the detailed inauspicious timings, Rahu Kaal is also shown as 2026-05-06 11:54:26 to 2026-05-06 13:33:33. Around it, Gulkai Kaal runs 2026-05-06 10:15:18 to 2026-05-06 11:54:26, another period best used for routine work and avoiding risky decisions. Yamaganda is from 2026-05-06 06:57:03 to 2026-05-06 08:36:11, a time to avoid beginning something brand new. Keep it simple, and don’t rush the morning.Dur Muhurtam falls from 2026-05-06 11:28:00 to 2026-05-06 12:21:00, overlapping the approach to Rahu Kaal, so midday needs extra care with meetings, complaints, and sensitive conversations. Baana, Nripa is marked from 2026-05-06 23:42:56 to 2026-05-07 05:17:17, and Varjyam occurs from 2026-05-07 02:40:09 to 2026-05-07 04:27:42, which is best reserved for rest, quiet prayer, or simply sleep.Choghadiya inauspicious periods are Kaal @ 08:36, Rog @ 11:54, Udveg @ 13:33 during the day, and Udveg @ 18:30, Rog @ 23:54, Kaal @ 25:15, Udveg @ 27:56 at night. If you can, keep crucial talks and payments out of these slots.

Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise & Moonset
Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise & MoonsetSunrise is at 05:18:23, and sunset is at 18:30:41. In Panchang spirit, sunrise is not just a clock event, it’s a daily reset. If you’ve been feeling mentally heavy, take five minutes after waking up to sit near a window, sip warm water, and decide one priority for the day. That’s enough.The Moon rises at 10:41:52 PM, and it sets at 09:19:09 AM, May 7. With the Moon appearing late at night, emotions may surface when the house becomes quiet and the day’s distractions fade. You might suddenly remember a pending message, a family concern, or a worry about work. Don’t wrestle with it in bed. Note it down, make a small plan, and let sleep do its repair work.This is a waning Moon phase, so the inner world matters more than showy action. Let the day flow like a river that clears silt before it runs fast again. Use daylight for discipline, and use night for reflection and prayer.
Vrat/Festival Information & Recommendations
Vrat/Festival Information & RecommendationsSankashti Chaturthi Vrat is observed today, a monthly vrat tied to Krishna Paksha Chaturthi, a monthly Ganesha fast. In the Hindu month context, it falls during Vaishakha (amanta) and Jyeshtha (purnimanta), a seasonal bridge where heat and intensity rise, and the mind needs steadiness. Sankashti literally points to relief from troubles. The spirit of the vrat is simple, you reduce indulgence, you focus your mind, and you seek Ganesha’s support to remove obstacles and clear delays.How to keep it in a grounded way? Begin the day with a small sankalp in your own words. Keep your food light, and keep your tone lighter. Offer a simple prayer to Lord Ganesha, even if it’s just lighting a lamp and saying His name with attention. Many people also use this vrat to ask for help with education, career stability, health discipline, and family harmony, because Ganesha stands at the doorway of beginnings and clears the path. If you’ve been stuck in procrastination, Sankashti is a good reminder that obstacles aren’t always outside us. Sometimes they sit in our habits.Now, practical recommendations for the day. In relationships, Mula nakshatra can make you blunt. Choose honesty, yes, but wrap it in kindness. Before correcting someone, ask yourself, will this help them today, or am I just irritated? At work, Siddha yoga supports results, but only if you show up prepared. Keep documents ready, confirm meeting details, and don’t wing it. Your boss will notice the steady effort.Spiritually, this is a fine day for Ganesha worship and for clearing clutter, both in the home and in the head. Even a small act like cleaning your prayer corner or deleting old files can feel freeing under this tithi and nakshatra.Actionable advice: avoid launching anything new during 11:54 to 13:33, do your most important task in Amrit Kalam from 2026-05-06 08:41:48 to 2026-05-06 10:29:40, and close the day with a short Ganesha prayer, then write down one obstacle you will remove tomorrow, and take one real step towards it.
