{{ title }} अदृष्ट-घटिका

The day, from sunrise to sunset, cut into thirty ghaṭikās — and for each a plain reading, needing no almanac. Choose a place and a day; the sun's true hours stretch or shrink each ghaṭikā to fit, exactly as the old reckoning asks.

Seven planets rule the hours; here thirty ghaṭikās carry fruits. Two ways to read one day.

Real sun, traditional table. Sunrise and sunset are computed for your place from the true solar position, and the daylight is divided into thirty even ghaṭikās — so the times are real. The fruits are the tradition's own, a folk almanac of the day, offered for reflection rather than as counsel. Compare it with the Muhūrta Finder, which weighs the real sky.
