Panchang for Ujjain
The classical reference meridian of Hindu astronomy and home of Mahakaleshwar — the traditional anchor for Indian timekeeping.

An easy-does-it day
Reading the day
- Wednesday · Mercury’s day
- Favours commerce, accounts, writing, learning, and negotiation.
- Ardra · Tikshna (sharp) star
- The Moon’s star suits separations, stern measures, and intense discipline — not auspicious starts.
- Rikta (empty) tithi
- Auspicious beginnings are set aside; suited instead to clearing debts and removing obstacles.
- Rikta tithi — defer launching new auspicious work; a good day for clearing debts and obstacles.
- The Shula yoga is counted inauspicious in its opening portion only; the rest of its span is usable.
- Vishti (Bhadra) karana is running — auspicious beginnings are traditionally deferred until it ends; see the karana row for the time.
- Disha Shool sits in the north — travellers traditionally avoid beginning a journey toward the north today.
