Yamaganda Kaal Status
*Calculated based on Sunrise at 06:32 am in Lucknow.
Yamaganda Kaal in Lucknow is from 03:12 pm to 04:39 pm. This period is ruled by Yama, the lord of death, and is considered highly inauspicious for any significant or positive undertakings. Avoid starting new ventures during this time.
Yamaganda Kaal is an inauspicious time of day ruled by Yama (the lord of death). It is highly recommended to avoid starting any new, important, or auspicious activities during this period.
All auspicious activities, new ventures, important meetings, signing contracts, travel, and any work from which you expect positive results should be strictly avoided.
Similar to Rahu Kaal and Gulika Kaal, Yamaganda Kaal is a specific 90-minute segment calculated by dividing the day (Sunrise to Sunset) and night (Sunset to next Sunrise) into eight equal parts. Its timing varies daily.
While it is ruled by Yama, the lord of death, it doesn't directly imply death. Instead, it signifies that actions started during this time may lead to failure, destruction, or adverse outcomes, metaphorically 'killing' the success of the venture.
Routine daily activities or tasks that are not considered 'new beginnings' can generally be performed. However, for anything important, it's best to wait for an auspicious Muhurat.
Both are inauspicious periods. Rahu Kaal is influenced by Rahu and is generally for 'delaying' good outcomes. Yamaganda Kaal is influenced by Yama and is seen as leading to 'destruction' or 'failure' of new ventures. Many consider Yamaganda to be more severe than Rahu Kaal.
