Amrutha Gadiyalu —

What is Amrutha Gadiyalu?

Amrutha Gadiyalu (also called Amrutha Kalam, అమృత ఘడియలు) is a highly auspicious window of about 1 hour 36 minutes that occurs each day. It is considered one of the most favourable times to begin new and important work — travel, purchases, signing, or any shubha karyam.

How Amrutha Gadiyalu is Calculated

Amrutha Kalam is derived from the Moon’s Nakshatram for the day. Each of the 27 Nakshatras has a fixed offset from the start of the nakshatra at which Amrutha Kalam begins; the window then runs for one-fifteenth of that nakshatra’s duration (about 1h36m for a typical ~24-hour nakshatra). Because it tracks the nakshatra’s start and end — which depend on your local sunrise — the clock time differs from city to city. It is, in effect, the auspicious counterpart of Varjyam, which comes from the same nakshatra.

How this is computed. Timings run in your browser using the Astronomy Engine (VSOP87) with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa — the same engine behind this site’s daily Panchangam. Because Amrutha Gadiyalu depends on your local sunrise, the clock time is specific to the city you choose. For rituals and muhurthams, always confirm with your family purohit.
