Panchang Summary — 20 May 2027
General information only — not personal advice.

On Thursday, 20 May 2027, it is Pratipada of Krishna Paksha, in the month of Jyeshtha. The day falls on a Guruvara, traditionally ruled by Jupiter, with the Moon resting in Anuradha nakshatra. Pratipada is considered an auspicious tithi, so it is a favorable day for new beginnings, ceremonies, or important decisions. Between 2:54 PM and 4:42 PM, Rahu Kaal is in effect; elders advise against starting anything new during this window. The most auspicious moment of the day is Abhijit Muhurta, from 12:38 PM to 1:35 PM — a good slot for anything important. Special note: સર્વાર્થ સિદ્ધિ યોગ is active on Thursday, 20 May 2027 — a particularly auspicious combination for important undertakings.
