Panchang Today is your steady daily guide, like a well lit diya for planning with care. Rooted in the Hindu calendar’s spiritual wisdom, it helps you choose the right moments for work, prayer, travel, study, and even family decisions. The day’s Tithi, Nakshatra, and Moon sign don’t just sit on paper, they shape mood, momentum, and the way outcomes ripen. Staying connected to these rhythms keeps you close to your cultural roots, while also helping you act mindfully and avoid avoidable snags. Below are the important Panchang details for May 19, 2026 for India:
Date & Day Details
Date & Day Details
Tuesday carries the sharp, decisive pulse of Mars. It’s a day that likes clear action, not half hearted effort. On this Tuesday, the Moon is in Shukla Paksh 3 (Tritiya), and this Tithi stays until 14:18:36, after which Shukla Paksh 4 (Chaturthi) begins. Tritiya in the waxing phase supports building and beautifying, the kind of energy where small steps start showing shape. Think of it like the first green shoot after a summer shower. Good for planning, starting a routine, organising home tasks, and putting a fresh structure around money and health habits. As Tritiya ends at 14:18:36, try to finish priority work before afternoon, then shift into steadier, detail based tasks as Chaturthi approaches.
The Nakshatra is Mrigasira until 08:41:29, then Ardra takes over. Mrigasira is linked to Soma, the nurturing lunar deity, and it carries the seeker’s mood, curious, mobile, always looking for the next useful clue. Early morning suits research, study, interviews, writing, and even shopping for essentials with a list. After 08:41:29, Ardra arrives, ruled by Rudra. Ardra can feel like a sudden gust of wind, it clears the air, but it can also stir emotions. Use this shift wisely. Post morning, it’s better to handle tough conversations with calm words, and keep your temper on a short leash.
The Moon sign is Gemini 4.28 today, keeping the mind busy and the tongue quick. Messages fly, ideas multiply, and plans change mid way. Good for networking and learning, but don’t promise more than you can deliver. The Moon sign transitions at 20/05/2026 22:38:54 into Cancer, so most of today stays in Gemini’s mental lane.
Yoga is Dhriti until 17:48:42, then Shula begins. Dhriti supports holding power, staying steady, and completing what you’ve started. Karans move from Gara until 14:18:36 to Vanij until 00:39:26, then Visti. Gara helps with practical effort. Vanij supports trade, deals, and clear exchanges, though you’ll still want to avoid risky commitments during inauspicious windows.
Auspicious Timings (Shubh Muhurat)
Auspicious Timings (Shubh Muhurat)
Brahma Muhurta runs from 2026-05-19 03:46:37 to 2026-05-19 04:28:49. This is the quiet hour when the mind is least crowded, and prayer lands softly. If you’ve been struggling with focus, wake up for this and try simple japa or reading a few lines of scripture. Even a short meditation can set your mood for the whole day.
Pratah Sandhya follows from 2026-05-19 04:07:43 to 2026-05-19 05:11:01. It’s ideal for Surya arghya, a quick walk, or a clean start to your kitchen and work desk. Then comes Siddha Yoga from 2026-05-19 05:11:01 to 2026-05-19 14:18:52, a helpful stretch for getting results from skill and effort. Use it for studies, sending applications, beginning a disciplined health step, or pushing a pending file.
Abhijit Muhurta is from 2026-05-19 11:27:37 to 2026-05-19 12:21:25. This is a bright mid day pocket that supports success and balance. Schedule an important meeting, make a respectful request, or take a key decision here, but keep paperwork clean.
Vijay Muhurta runs from 2026-05-19 14:09:01 to 2026-05-19 15:02:49. It’s good for competitive tasks, presentations, and finishing a difficult target. Godhuli Muhurta, from 2026-05-19 18:37:44 to 2026-05-19 18:58:50, is a sweet twilight window for lamp lighting, family prayers, and resetting your home’s mood.
Sayahana Sandhya stays from 2026-05-19 18:37:44 to 2026-05-19 19:41:02, supporting evening worship and gratitude. Night brings Nishita Muhurta from 2026-05-19 23:33:08 to 2026-05-20 00:15:20, suited for deep mantra, silence, and inner cleansing.
Ravi Yoga runs from 2026-05-19 08:41:52 to 2026-05-20 05:10:37, giving a confident push to right action. Amrit Kalam appears from 2026-05-19 21:14:22 to 2026-05-19 22:40:22, a nourishing time for reconciliation, prayer, and gentle healing.
Choghadiya also guides daily choices. The day’s auspicious periods include Laabh @ 10:13, Amrit @ 11:54, and Shubh @ 15:15. If you must pick a practical window for gain, discussions, or a positive start, these are supportive.
Inauspicious Timings
Inauspicious Timings
Rahu Kaal today is from 15:16:03 to 16:56:53. Rahu’s shadowy influence can blur judgement, invite confusion, and make people act on impulse. During this time, avoid new ventures, big purchases, signing contracts, or locking in a price. Don’t argue either, it escalates fast in this window. What can you do instead? Keep it simple. Do routine work, clean up emails, and if you feel restless, sit for a few minutes and chant the Rahu mantra, “Om Raam Rahave Namaha”. A small act of discipline works like an umbrella in sudden rain.
Yamaganda is from 2026-05-19 08:32:41 to 2026-05-19 10:13:32. This period is best kept for regular duties, not for launching something important. Gulika Kaal is from 2026-05-19 11:54:22 to 2026-05-19 13:35:12, another time to avoid major beginnings and avoid making promises you can’t track later.
Dur Muhurtam appears twice, from 2026-05-19 07:52:25 to 2026-05-19 08:46:25, and again from 2026-05-19 22:50:56 to 2026-05-19 23:32:56. These are sharp edged intervals. Don’t pick them for confrontations, resignations, or risky travel plans. Varjyam runs from 2026-05-19 16:13:52 to 2026-05-19 17:34:41. This overlaps the later part of Rahu’s effect and can feel like effort without reward. Delay important calls, keep your wallet closed today, and don’t chase someone who’s refusing to cooperate.
There is also Baana (Nripa) from 2026-05-19 09:56:01 to 2026-05-20 05:10:37. Treat it as a time to act with restraint and respect for rules, especially in dealings with authority. Vidaal Yoga lasts from 2026-05-19 05:11:01 to 2026-05-19 08:40:52, so early morning needs a little extra care with impatience and harsh words.
Choghadiya inauspicious periods during the day are Rog @ 05:11, Udveg @ 06:51, Kaal @ 13:34, and Rog @ 16:56. At night, watch for Kaal @ 18:37, Udveg @ 21:15, Rog @ 26:32, and Kaal @ 27:51. Use these for routine chores, not for bold beginnings.
Rahu Kaal Timings Across India
Rahu Kaal Timings Across India
Rahu Kaal changes by location across India because it’s calculated from local sunrise, and sunrise differs from place to place due to longitude differences. So one national date still has different Rahu Kaal windows depending on where you are. The table below shows Rahu Kaal for major Indian cities, to help you plan accurately without guesswork.
| City | Rahu Kaal |
|---|
| Mumbai | 15:50 - 17:28 |

| Bengaluru | 15:27 - 17:02 |

Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise & Moonset
Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise & Moonset
Sunrise is at 05:11:14 and sunset is at 18:37:15. Sunrise is more than a time stamp, it’s the day’s first spiritual invitation. If you can’t do a long prayer, just face the light, offer water, and set one intention for your behaviour. Sunset at 18:37:15 is the natural full stop. It reminds you to close loops, return calls, and soften your pace so the night doesn’t carry leftover stress.
Moonrise is at 07:09:23 AM, and moonset is at 09:48:47 PM. With the Moon in Gemini, the mind stays alert, sometimes too alert. Moonrise brings a lift for communication and study, while moonset helps you drop the day’s mental chatter if you let it. Try to finish heavy thinking before 09:48:47 PM. After that, choose quiet, family time, or simple devotional listening. The sky’s rhythm is gentle, but it asks you to match it. Slow down when the light fades.
Vrat/Festival Information & Recommendations
Vrat/Festival Information & Recommendations
No major Vrat or festival is observed today. The Hindu month is Adhik Jyeshtha (amanta), a time that often feels like an extra chapter in the calendar, inviting correction, completion, and steady spiritual effort rather than flashy beginnings. Think of it like weeding a garden. Not glamorous, but it makes the next bloom possible.
With Shukla Paksh Tritiya active until 14:18:36, start your day by choosing two priorities only. Don’t crowd the schedule. Mrigasira Nakshatra in the early hours supports searching and learning, so read, revise, or gather information before 08:41:29. After Ardra takes over, emotions can rise and words can become sharp. Ask yourself before speaking, do I want to be right, or do I want peace? That one question can save a relationship today.
For work and career, Dhriti Yoga until 17:48:42 favours persistence. Your boss will notice consistent follow through more than dramatic talk. Use Abhijit Muhurta from 2026-05-19 11:27:37 to 2026-05-19 12:21:25 for an important meeting or a respectful request. Vijay Muhurta from 2026-05-19 14:09:01 to 2026-05-19 15:02:49 is good for a push to finish targets, but don’t spill into Rahu Kaal from 15:16:03 to 16:56:53. Keep that window for routine tasks. No new financial commitments then.
For relationships, the Gemini Moon brings quick reactions. Texts can be misread. If you have to discuss money at home, do it calmly and keep it factual. Avoid sarcasm. Evening is kinder. Godhuli Muhurta from 2026-05-19 18:37:44 to 2026-05-19 18:58:50 is perfect for lighting a lamp and sitting with family for a few minutes, even if the day has been messy.
For spiritual practice, keep it simple and steady. Morning prayer in Brahma Muhurta from 2026-05-19 03:46:37 to 2026-05-19 04:28:49 sets the tone. Night time Amrit Kalam from 2026-05-19 21:14:22 to 2026-05-19 22:40:22 supports forgiveness and inner healing, especially if Ardra’s intensity has shaken you.
Actionable advice for today: finish one pending task before lunch, avoid signing or buying during 15:16:03 to 16:56:53, and light a lamp at dusk, then speak one kind sentence at home even if you don’t feel like it.
