Nakshatra Thyajyam (Varjyam) Calculator

Varjyam -- also called Nakshatra Thyajyam, Visha Ghati, Vishagatika or Visha Nadi -- is a roughly 3-ghati (about 1 hour 12 minute) window within each nakshatra that is traditionally avoided for starting important activities. Pick a date and location to see today's Varjyam timing, or look up the Tyajya Ghati range for any nakshatra in the reference table below.


OR
The nakshatra and its Varjyam window are calculated from the Moon's position at the time you look this up, for the location above.

A "ghati" divides each nakshatra's span into 60 equal parts. The exact clock time for any nakshatra's Tyajya Ghati window depends on when the Moon entered and will leave that nakshatra -- use the calculator above for today's actual times.
