Panchang Today is that steady daily compass many Indian homes still trust, not just for rituals, but for smarter planning too. The Hindu calendar watches the Moon’s mood, the star it sits in, and the day’s subtle push and pull, then turns it into usable guidance. Some days help you begin. Some help you end, release, and reset. Today has that quiet, last-page-of-a-chapter feeling, because it’s Amavasya. If you want to stay connected to your cultural roots and also make mindful decisions in work and family life, this is your guide. Below are the important Panchang details for September 11, 2026 for India:
Date & Day Details
Date & Day DetailsFriday arrives with Krishan Paksh 15 (Amavas), the dark Moon, and it lasts till 08:56:37, after which Shukla Paksh 1 (Pratipada(Ekam)) begins. Amavasya is not a “busy, showy” tithi. It’s inward, like the sky holding its breath before the new cycle. You’ll feel that in small ways. People speak less. Plans change. The mind goes into review mode. This is why Amavasya is traditionally linked with ancestor remembrance and quiet spiritual work. It’s a day to close pending matters, forgive old messes, and keep your ego on a shorter leash. Once the tithi flips after 08:56:37, the first day of Shukla Paksha brings a fresher tone. If you’ve been waiting to restart a healthy habit, the post-Amavasya stretch supports that.The Moon stays in P.Phalguni Nakshatra till 13:16:20, then moves to U.Phalguni. Purva Phalguni is ruled by Bhaga, the giver of good fortune, comfort, and the sweetness of life. It has a warm, hospitable quality, the kind that likes clean sheets, good food, music, and friendly company. Yet today it sits on Amavasya, so the pleasure principle needs balance. Enjoy simple comforts, yes, but don’t use them to avoid what your heart already knows. After 13:16:20, Uttara Phalguni takes over, guided by Aryaman, the deity of honour, agreements, and rightful conduct. That shift is useful. The afternoon becomes better for making peace, setting terms, and doing the correct thing even if it’s slightly inconvenient.The Moon sign is Leo 22.20, and it transitions at 19:08:22 into Virgo. Leo Moon days can make you proud, protective, and a little dramatic. You might want recognition for your efforts at home or office. Do you really need the applause today, or will quiet satisfaction do? As evening approaches and the Moon enters Virgo at 19:08:22, the emotional weather turns practical. You’ll notice small flaws, missed calls, and unfinished chores. Use that Virgo neatness well. It can tidy both your schedule and your mind, provided you don’t start nitpicking people.Yoga is Sadhya till 17:02:19, then Shubha. Sadhya is about “getting it done” with steady effort, not shortcuts. Shubha after 17:02:19 adds a gentler, more supportive current, good for pleasant interactions and clean intentions. Karan begins with Naga till 08:56:37, then Kintughna till 05:41:42, moving next to Bava. Naga can stir deep, hidden emotions, so avoid harsh words in the morning. Kintughna has a sharp, decisive feel. Use it to cut clutter and end what needs ending. Keep the day simple, sincere, and grounded.
Auspicious Timings (Shubh Muhurat )
Auspicious Timings (Shubh Muhurat)Brahma Muhurta runs from 2026-09-11 04:09:34 to 2026-09-11 04:55:58. This is the quietest part of the day, like a still lake before wind touches it. On Amavasya, that stillness feels even deeper. If you want your prayers to feel focused, or you want to study without distraction, wake up for this window. Meditation, japa, reading a few pages of a sacred text, or simply sitting in silence works beautifully here.Pratah Sandhya is from 2026-09-11 04:32:46 to 2026-09-11 05:42:22. It’s ideal for morning routines with a devotional touch. Even a simple arghya at sunrise, a short prayer, and a calm start to the kitchen can change the tone of the whole day.Amrit Kalam arrives from 2026-09-11 07:04:56 to 2026-09-11 08:37:36. Think of it as a sweet spot for wellbeing and clear intentions. If you must send an important email, speak to a senior, or begin a health routine, this is a friendly pocket.Siddha Yoga runs from 2026-09-11 08:57:36 to 2026-09-12 05:42:44. This supports purposeful work, especially tasks that require skill and follow-through. If you’ve been putting off paperwork, repair work at home, or a study target, you’ll get traction now.Abhijit Muhurta is 2026-09-11 11:29:34 to 2026-09-11 12:19:10. Use it for a clean start inside the day, like signing off a decision, beginning a meeting, or making a sincere request.Vijay Muhurta, from 2026-09-11 13:58:22 to 2026-09-11 14:47:58, supports winning through discipline, not drama. If you have an interview round, a presentation, or a difficult discussion, keep it in this band.Evening brings Godhuli Muhurta from 2026-09-11 18:06:41 to 2026-09-11 18:29:53, and Sayahana Sandhya from 2026-09-11 18:06:41 to 2026-09-11 19:16:17. Light a lamp, keep voices soft, and let the home settle.Choghadiya also offers bright pockets: day auspicious Laabh @ 07:14, Amrit @ 08:48, Shubh @ 11:54. At night, Laabh @ 21:01, Shubh @ 23:54, Amrit @ 25:21 can be used for calm planning and prayer, not noisy starts.
Inauspicious Timings
Inauspicious TimingsRahu Kaal today is from 10:21 to 11:54. This period is known for distorted judgment, sudden distractions, and the kind of decision you regret later. Keep your wallet closed today in this slot. Don’t sign contracts, don’t commit to a new purchase, and don’t begin a new venture. If you must work, do routine tasks that don’t need luck. Rahu responds well to discipline, so a few minutes of breathing, or chanting “Om Raam Rahave Namaha” can steady the mind.As per the inauspicious timings, Rahu Kaal is also noted from 2026-09-11 10:21:29 to 2026-09-11 11:54:31. Treat this stretch as a red flag for impulsive calls and hasty promises. You can still commute, attend regular meetings, and do daily responsibilities, just avoid launching anything new.Gulkai Kaal runs from 2026-09-11 07:15:24 to 2026-09-11 08:48:26. If you can, avoid starting a fresh task right at this time. Use it for preparation, setting up documents, or finishing something half-done.Yamaganda is from 2026-09-11 15:00:36 to 2026-09-11 16:33:38. This one is famous for bringing avoidable obstacles. Don’t pick this period for a confrontation or a risky drive. Keep it steady. Do the work, don’t stir the pot.Dur Muhurtam appears twice, from 2026-09-11 08:11:10 to 2026-09-11 09:01:10, and again from 2026-09-11 12:19:10 to 2026-09-11 13:09:10. Avoid announcing big decisions here. If you can’t avoid meetings, listen more than you speak.Varjyam is from 2026-09-11 20:21:36 to 2026-09-11 21:53:16. It can create a sense of emotional wrong-footing. Don’t overthink messages at night. Don’t send a harsh reply.Baana (Chora) runs from 2026-09-11 05:42:22 to 2026-09-12 04:42:22. It signals a day to be mindful about carelessness, misplaced items, and casual spending. Keep keys, documents, and phone chargers in their place.Aadal Yoga is from 2026-09-11 13:16:36 to 2026-09-12 05:42:44. It’s best to avoid ego clashes and stubborn stands in this phase. Choghadiya inauspicious periods also deserve respect: day inauspicious Kaal @ 10:21, Rog @ 13:27, Udveg @ 15:00, and at night Rog @ 18:07, Kaal @ 19:34, Udveg @ 22:27, Rog @ 28:15. Keep life simple in these pockets.
Rahu Kaal Timings Across India
Rahu Kaal Timings Across IndiaRahu Kaal changes from place to place across India because it’s calculated using local sunrise, and sunrise differs by longitude from one location to another.

Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise & Moonset
Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise & MoonsetSunrise is at 05:41:41 and sunset is at 18:07:21. Sunrise on an Amavasya day feels like starting a walk in soft mist. You may not see everything clearly at once, but each step still matters. Offer a simple prayer at dawn, even if it’s just folded hands for a minute before your day’s first tea. It sets a clean rhythm.Sunset at 18:07:21 brings the natural pause point. This is a good day to reduce screen glare in the evening, speak gently at home, and avoid pulling work stress into family space.Moonrise is null today, which fits the Amavasya mood. The Moon isn’t visible, and the mind also tends to go inward, picking up old memories and unspoken feelings. Moonset is at 05:39:24 PM. After that, the night can feel heavier if you carry unresolved thoughts. So release them. A bath, a short prayer, and a quieter dinner help the body and mind settle into rest.
Vrat/Festival Information & Recommendations
Vrat/Festival Information & RecommendationsMahalaya Amavasya / Pitru Paksha ends is observed today, based on Ashvina Krishna Amavasya. This is one of those days that can make even a busy person slow down for a moment. Mahalaya marks the closing of Pitru Paksha, the fortnight dedicated to remembering ancestors. The old belief is tender and practical at once: those who came before us shaped our life, and gratitude keeps the family line emotionally strong. Many families perform simple acts of remembrance, offering water, prayers, and food charity in the name of the departed. It’s not about fear. It’s about respect, like touching the roots of a tree so the branches stay healthy.Along with that, Amavasya / Pitru Tarpan is also observed as a monthly vrat, described as the New Moon day, day for ancestor remembrance and Pitru Tarpan. If you follow this tradition, keep the ritual clean and sincere. Speak the names you remember, even if you remember only one or two. If you can’t do a formal tarpan, do what you can manage. Feed someone, donate grains, or offer a meal to a cow or a needy person, with a quiet prayer for your ancestors’ peace.This day sits in the Hindu month Bhadrapada (amanta) and Ashvina (purnimanta), which itself hints at a seasonal turn. The air begins to shift, and the heart also wants to shift. Use the morning Amavasya energy to finish pending chores, return borrowed items, and clear your inbox. After 08:56:37, when Pratipada begins, plan the next week with a fresh page mindset.For relationships, keep your tone soft. Leo Moon can make you feel you’re “right”, and Virgo Moon later can make you focus on flaws. Neither helps love. Tell family members what you appreciate about them. Keep arguments for another day.For career and work, do steady progress work. Tie up loose ends, check figures twice, and avoid bold spending during Rahu Kaal. Your boss will notice the colleague who quietly delivers.For spiritual practice, choose simplicity. A lamp at dusk during Godhuli Muhurta, a short chant, and a moment of gratitude for those who came before you is enough. Keep one action clear today: complete one pending task, offer one act of charity in your ancestors’ name, and avoid one impulsive decision, especially between 10:21 and 11:54.
