Aaj Ka Panchang, May 17, 2023: Check Out Tithi, Shubh Muhurat, Rahu Kaal and Other Details for Wednesday

AAJ KA PANCHANG, MAY 17, 2023: On Wednesday, May 10, Hindus will observe the Trayodashi and Chaturdashi Tithi of the Krishna Paksha. However, they are typically regarded as unfavourable for most auspicious endeavours, due to their associations with obstacles and challenges. As a result, they are not included in the selection of favourable Muhurat timings.

The Trayodashi Tithi, in particular, is considered to be associated with negative energy and is often avoided for important events like weddings, housewarming ceremonies, or starting new business ventures. Similarly, the Chaturdashi Tithi is known as a Rikta Tithi and is not considered suitable for auspicious activities, which is why it is also omitted from the list of favourable Muhurat timings.

However, for Hindus observing the Pradosh Vrat and Masik Shivaratri festivals, this day holds a special significance. By understanding the significance of the Tithis, and the auspicious moments and unfavourable periods associated with them, one can navigate around obstacles during ritual activities and gain valuable insights into the potential outcomes of the day.

TITHI, NAKSHATRA, AND RASHI DETAILS FOR MAY 17

Take advantage of the auspicious Brahma muhurta from 4:06 AM to 4:48 AM, or the Vijaya muhurta from 2:34 PM to 3:28 PM for your important activities. However, be cautious of the unfavourable Trayodashi and Chaturdashi tithi that will be in effect until 10:28 PM.
