Shubh Muhurat Today: Abhijit, Brahma and Amrit Kaal Timings
Hindu traditions recognize several favorable periods during the day for prayers, meditation and other religious activities.

The suitability of these periods may depend on the particular ceremony and the local Panchang followed.

Why Is Kartik Amavasya Important in Hindu Traditions?
Kartik Amavasya has considerable significance in Hindu religious customs. Amavasya refers to the lunar phase associated with the new moon, when the Moon is positioned close to the Sun in the sky.
In many Hindu households, Amavasya is observed through prayers, charitable activities and remembrance of ancestors. Some devotees perform Tarpan, a traditional ritual involving offerings of water in memory of deceased family members.
The Kartik month is also associated with religious devotion, bathing rituals, lighting lamps and charitable practices in several regions of India.
Because Amavasya ends at 12:31 PM on November 9, people planning specific rituals should confirm whether their observance is determined by sunrise, the prevailing Tithi or another prescribed period.
What Changes After Amavasya Ends?
Once Amavasya concludes, Shukla Paksha Pratipada begins. This marks the first lunar day of the waxing half of the month.
The transition is significant because Hindu religious observances are often determined by the lunar date rather than the Gregorian calendar alone.
Similarly, the change from Swati to Vishakha Nakshatra at 7:24 AM forms another important part of the day's Panchang calculations.
Together, these changes help explain why a single calendar day may contain more than one Tithi or Nakshatra.
November 9 Panchang: Key Timings to Remember
Monday's Panchang highlights the conclusion of Amavasya at 12:31 PM, the beginning of Vishakha Nakshatra at 7:24 AM and the availability of Abhijit Muhurat around midday.
For those following traditional Hindu practices, checking these details can help organize religious activities and understand the significance of the lunar calendar.
However, because Panchang timings can differ between cities and calculation methods, readers should refer to a location-specific calendar before finalizing any time-sensitive ceremony.
