About these tools
Rahu Kaal today gives Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika Kaal and Abhijit Muhurat for any date and city. The page divides the daytime from local sunrise to sunset into eight equal parts and picks the one for the weekday, so the times move with the season and the place rather than staying at a fixed clock time. The sunrise calculation runs in your browser, and no location is sent anywhere.
Choghadiya today uses the same sunrise and sunset method to list all sixteen day and night periods, named Amrit, Shubh, Labh, Chal, Udveg, Rog and Kaal. The favourable periods are marked and the current one is highlighted.
The jaap mala counter counts mantra repetitions with a tap or the space bar. It completes a mala at 108, or at 54, 27, 21 or 11 for shorter strings, and it tracks malas and an optional daily goal. A soft click, or a vibration on Android, lets you keep your eyes closed, and the count is saved in your browser so you can continue later.
The Bible reading plan builds a day-by-day chapter list for the whole Bible, the Old or New Testament, or the Gospels, over anything from 30 days to two years. Each day links to the chapters and has a tick box, and you can export the plan as a CSV or print it.
For reading, the World English Bible is published here chapter by chapter. It is a public-domain translation. The Hanuman Chalisa is shown verse by verse, with the opening doha, the forty chaupais and the closing doha, each also given in Roman letters. The temple pages list the place, deity and aarti for each temple in the Mandir Darshan app. Live darshan streams stay on each temple's official site and in the app.
These pages give times and texts. They do not offer astrological advice.
Questions
Why is Rahu Kaal at a different time every day?
Rahu Kaal is one eighth of the time between local sunrise and sunset, chosen by the weekday. Day length changes with the season and the city, so the window shifts by a few minutes from day to day and place to place.
How many beads does the jaap counter use for one mala?
It uses 108 by default, the number of counted beads on a traditional japa mala. You can switch to 54, 27, 21 or 11 if you use a shorter mala, and set a daily goal in total repetitions.
Which Bible translation do these pages use?
They use the World English Bible, a modern English translation in the public domain, so every chapter can be published in full. The reading plan links to the same chapter pages.
