Aaj Ka Panchang, July 23, 2025: Tithi, Vrat, Shubh Muhurat & Rahu Kaal Today
Aaj Ka Panchang, July 23, 2025: On Masik Shivratri, worship Lord Shiva, fast, and meditate for mental clarity. Check auspicious times and key rituals here.
Aaj Ka Panchang, July 23, 2025: Today is Wednesday, the Chaturdashi Tithi of Krishna Paksha, which is the most sacred occasion of Masik Shivratri. This Tithi is considered for atonement, self-introspection, and special worship of Lord Shiva. Fasting, night vigil, and Rudrabhishek have special significance on Chaturdashi Tithi.
This Tithi gives an opportunity to correct old mistakes and eliminate the negative energy within. Today's Nakshatra is Ardra, which is an indicator of mental intensity, impulse, and emotional change.
The work done in Ardra Nakshatra has depth, but at the same time, it also demands quick decision and sensitivity. In such a situation, it will be beneficial to control emotions and words today.
Karan Shakuni and Yoga Harshan, which will be effective till 09:50:19 am, will make the beginning of the day positive. Harshan Yoga indicates enthusiasm, resolution, and success in life, but later in time requires a little restraint. The Moon is in Gemini, due to which mental restlessness and communication activity will remain.
You may be inclined towards speed in thoughts and new plans. Sunrise will be at 06:08:12 AM and sunset at 07:26:13 PM today. Moonrise will be at 04:13:31 AM and moonset at 06:29:23 PM. The season is monsoon, which indicates introspection and turning towards inner energy.
According to the Hindu calendar, this day falls under Shak Samvat 1947 and Vikram Samvat 2082. Ashadha month is going on in Amamant system, and Shravan month is going on in Purnimant system, which is auspicious for devotion and penance.
Inauspicious Muhurtas include Rahu Kaal from 12:47:12 PM to 02:26:58 PM, Yamaganda Kaal from 07:47:57 AM to 09:27:42 AM, and Gulik Kaal from 11:07:27 AM to 12:47:12 PM — important decisions should be avoided during these times. Abhijeet Muhurta, from 12:21 PM to 01:13 PM, is considered particularly auspicious and brings success.
Overall, today is a great day for introspection, Shiva worship, and purification of the mind. If there is any mental disturbance, stress, or burden of decisions, then Shivaratri fast and meditation can bring positive energy. Be restrained in communication, and prioritize intellect over emotions in new plans. This day can prove to provide you with inner strength and mental clarity.

Aaj Ka Panchang, August 5, 2025: Tithi, Vrat, Shubh Muhurat & Rahu Kaal Today
Last Updated: Aaj Ka Panchang, August 5, 2025: Tuesday is ideal for spiritual growth. Perform Vishnu Puja, Parana, and introspection. Avoid new tasks before 7:15 AM due to Vaidhrithi Yoga. Aaj Ka Panchang, August 5, 2025: Today is dedicated to Shravan Shukla Dwadashi Tithi, which is considered extremely auspicious for getting the blessings of Lord Vishnu and Shri Hari. Dwadashi Tithi is considered especially favorable for fasting and religious works, and if you have observed the Ekadashi fast, then today is also the day of Parana (end of fast). Today's Nakshatra is Moola, which strengthens courage, self-confidence, and decision-making ability. This Nakshatra is very favorable for spiritual practice and knowledge of esoteric subjects. The Moon is transiting in Sagittarius today, which increases the attachment to independent thinking, a high perspective, and purpose in life in a person. At the same time, Vaidhrithi Yoga is present till morning today, which is considered inauspicious and is worth avoiding for the start of any new work. However, after that, the whole day will be generally auspicious, and Abhijit Muhurta will be especially auspicious. The day of 5 August 2025 is suitable for religious worship, fast-parana, introspection, and attainment of virtues. Dwadashi Tithi is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, so Vishnu Sahasranama, Gita Paath, or Tulsi Jal Offering are auspicious. Moola Nakshatra and Sagittarius Moon can take your thoughts to new heights today—interest in planning, teaching, philosophy, and spirituality will increase. Vaidhrithi Yoga requires a little caution at the beginning of the day, especially when avoiding starting new tasks. Today is extremely fruitful from a religious point of view, but it is advisable to postpone any major decision or new work until 7:15 am. The latter half of the day is especially auspicious—take advantage of Abhijit Muhurta and move towards your goals with devotion. Get the full benefit of this auspicious day by indulging in Puja, Japa, and good deeds.
