Purohit bookings in Lucknow are coming soon.
The panchang below is calculated for Lucknow’s own sunrise and sky. Today we arrange Purohits in Bengaluru and Mysuru; talk to a Pandit if you need one elsewhere.
Inauspicious windows are always shown with their reason rather than removed — booking slots inside them are disabled, not hidden.
Rahu Kalam, Yamagandam and Gulika are the day divided into eight equal parts between sunrise and sunset — so they move with the sky over Lucknow, not with a national timetable. Today that day runs 05:57 to 18:00 here, which is what places Rahu Kalam at 08:58—10:28. A city an hour's longitude away gets a different answer on the same date.
These are computed windows, offered so you can plan around them. Traditions differ on how much weight each carries, and your own Purohit's reckoning for your family is the one that decides the day.
Worked out for the next 60 days from Lucknow's own nakshatra, tithi and Rahu Kalam. Only dates the calculation actually rates highest appear — a ceremony with none in this window is simply not listed. These are the dates themselves; we don't yet perform ceremonies at home in Lucknow.
Uttara Bhadrapada nakshatra is specifically recommended for this ritual · Morning entry before Rahu Kalam is traditional for Griha Pravesh.

A calculation, not a ruling. Family tradition, the participants' own nakshatras and the Purohit's judgement all sit above it — bring a date to him rather than treating one as settled.
