Travel Muhurat in Sri Ganganagar - 2026
For travel in Sri Ganganagar (Rajasthan), timings are adjusted for local coordinates (29.90N, 73.88E). Rahu Kalam, sunrise, sunset, and Lagna calculations differ from standard Delhi-based muhurat lists because Sri Ganganagar is at a different longitude. Always use city-specific timings for accurate muhurat.

About Travel Muhurat
Auspicious dates and timings for starting journeys — whether short trips, long travel, or overseas journeys. Yatra Muhurat avoids Rahukaal (which varies by city and day), inauspicious nakshatras for travel, and checks Mercury and Jupiter for safe and successful journeys.
Selection Rules
- 1.NEVER start travel during Rahu Kalam of the departure city — this is the primary rule
- 2.Best days for travel: Wednesday (Mercury — communication, short trips), Thursday (Jupiter — long, auspicious journeys), Friday (Venus — comfortable travel)
- 3.Avoid Saturday for starting journeys when possible — Saturn can cause delays and obstacles
- 4.Best nakshatras: Ashwini, Rohini, Mrigashira, Pushya, Hasta, Anuradha, Shravana, Revati
- 5.Avoid nakshatras: Ardra, Ashlesha, Jyeshtha, Moola, Bharani (especially for long journeys)
- 6.Check the direction of travel against the weekly inauspicious direction (Disha Shool)
- 7.Mercury should not be combust for communication-heavy travel or business trips
- 8.Avoid Amavasya for starting important journeys
Why Sri Ganganagar-specific timings matter
Standard muhurat lists are calculated for Delhi or Ujjain. Sri Ganganagar is at 29.90N latitude and 73.88E longitude, which shifts sunrise, sunset, Rahu Kalam, and Lagna timings. A muhurat that starts at 7:15 AM in Delhi may start at later in Sri Ganganagar. Using generic timings can mean performing the ceremony during an inauspicious window in your actual city.
FAQ
Q.What is Disha Shool and how does it affect travel?
Disha Shool (literally "directional thorn") is a traditional concept where travel in a specific direction is considered inauspicious on certain days. Sunday: West, Monday: East, Tuesday: North, Wednesday: North, Thursday: South, Friday: West, Saturday: East. If your travel direction matches Disha Shool for that day, either delay by a day or consume something sweet before starting.
Q.How important is Rahu Kalam for travel?
Rahu Kalam is the most widely observed inauspicious period for starting any journey. It lasts approximately 90 minutes and its timing shifts daily and varies significantly by city location. Avoiding Rahu Kalam for departure is considered the single most important muhurat rule for travel, even if other Panchang factors are favorable.
Q.Should I check muhurat for international travel?
Yes, especially for immigration, relocation, or high-stakes business travel. Check the departure time against Rahu Kalam of the origin city. For long-term relocations abroad, also check whether your current Dasha period supports foreign travel and settlement (Mercury or Rahu Dasha are often favorable).
