Daily Calendar
The daily sheet calendar is part of the common Indian home. We have been used to the
daily calendar a long time. It is the daily calendar that is first consulted before any
activity or decision making. It is not yet time for the 2019 daily calendar, but the 2018 daily calendar
sales are still going on. They might continue to do so for another month or so.
Rahu kalam, Yamagandam, Gulikai kalam in daily calendar
If you have seen the daily sheet calendars that people use commonly, you would notice that the
timings of rahukalam are 4:30 to 6pm, 7:30 to 9am, 3 to 4:30pm, 12 to 1:30pm, 1:30 to 3pm, 10:30
to 12noon, 9 to 10:30am, for Sunday to Saturday.
Similarly, Yamagandam timings are shown as 12 to 1:30pm, 10:30 to 12noon, 9 to 10:30am, 7:30
to 9am, 6 to 7:30am, 3 to 4:30pm, 1:30 to 3pm, for Sunday to Saturday.
For Gulikai kalam there is another 1 and half hours allotted every day; the general timings being
3 to 4:30pm, 1:30 to 3pm, 12 to 1:30pm, 10:30 to 12 noon, 9 to 10:30am, 7:30 to 9am, 6 to 7:30am,
from Sunday to Saturday.
The horai timings are of one hour duration each, the first horai beginning with Sunrise. In the
calendar the mention is 6 to 7am. But, if the sunrise is at 5:40am, then the first horai would be from
5:40 to 6:40am, the second from 6:40 to 7:40am and so on. If you see carefully, the timings always
begin at times rounded to either the nearest 30 minutes or hour. Practically, this is not possible. The
timings given are based on the assumption that the sun rises at 6am. For the most part, it is not true.
So, the timings given in your daily calendar have to be recalculated based on the sunrise time for the
day, in your city.
The daily calendar is a replica of the daily sheet calendar that adorns the hall
in our homes. The daily sheet calendar is verily used by the average Indian everyday. If you are
