Frequently asked questions

What is Yamagandam?

Yamagandam is a daily period ruled by Yama. Auspicious work such as ceremonies, journeys and new ventures is traditionally not started in it; daily routine continues as normal.

Which is worse, Rahu Kalam or Yamagandam?

Both are avoided for new beginnings. Rahu Kalam is the most widely followed; Yamagandam and Gulika Kalam are checked alongside it in South Indian panchangams.
