Frequently Asked Questions

Thursday (Guruvar) is traditionally considered the most auspicious weekday, governed by Jupiter — the planet of wisdom and prosperity. Monday and Wednesday are also generally favourable.

Tuesday (Mangalvar) is ruled by Mars and dedicated to Hanuman. It is auspicious for buying property, legal matters, and activities requiring courage. Rahu Kalam on Tuesday should be avoided for important starts.
What is Rahu Kalam?
Rahu Kalam is an inauspicious period each day lasting approximately 1.5 hours. It rotates across days: Monday 7:30-9:00, Saturday 9:00-10:30, Friday 10:30-12:00, Wednesday 12:00-1:30, Thursday 1:30-3:00, Tuesday 3:00-4:30, Sunday 4:30-6:00 (approximate, varies by sunrise).
