Like Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda is one of the 8 parts of the daytime — but ruled by Yama, the lord of death. About 1.5 hours each day fall under Yamaganda, considered inauspicious for new beginnings (though slightly less severe than Rahu Kalam).
How it is computed
Daytime divided by 8. Yamaganda's slot by weekday:
| Day | Yamaganda slot | Approx clock time (12h day) |
|---|---|---|
| Sunday | 5th of 8 | ~ 12:00 – 13:30 |
| Monday | 4th of 8 | ~ 10:30 – 12:00 |
| Tuesday | 3rd of 8 | ~ 09:00 – 10:30 |
| Wednesday | 2nd of 8 | ~ 07:30 – 09:00 |
| Thursday | 1st of 8 | ~ 06:00 – 07:30 |
| Friday | 7th of 8 | ~ 15:00 – 16:30 |
| Saturday | 6th of 8 | ~ 13:30 – 15:00 |
What Yamaganda affects
Same general category as Rahu Kalam — avoid for:
- Marriage rituals, housewarming.
- Starting a journey for an important purpose.
- Signing contracts, opening a business.
- Religious / yajna work.
How the filter works
Yamaganda is a skip-inside filter. The two states are:
- Yes — slot falls inside Yamaganda.
- No — slot falls outside Yamaganda.
Default keeps both. To exclude Yamaganda from results, uncheck "Yes".
Yamaganda is typically applied alongside Rahu Kalam — both are switched on for serious muhurta and both kept on for most everyday auspicious work too.
