BEYOND TODAY
Need something more personal?
Daily timing is the same for everyone in Mathura. Your chart, your situation and your family's practice are not.
Timings are calculated for Mathura (Asia/Kolkata) using the Lahiri ayanamsa and the amanta calendar. Regional traditions may observe some dates differently — for a muhurta that matters, ask a practitioner to confirm it for you.
