Daily Panchang: April 15, 2026

Krishna Paksha | Vikram Samvat 2083


Namaskaram,

ॐ Trayambakam Yajamahe. This Wednesday in the Kathmandu Valley brings Trayodashi Tithi of Krishna Paksha, sanctified by Budha Pradosh Vrat and Masik Shivaratri. While we celebrate Vishu Kani and Pohela Boishakha, we must navigate the complex energies of Panchaka and Vidaal Yoga.

Vidaal Yoga: Starts 3:37 PM. Avoid major emotional or financial commitments.

Trayodashi: The Threshold of Grace

Until 10:46 PM, Trayodashi supports fasting (upavasa) and Rudrabhishekha. This is the sacred evening of Pradosh, when Lord Shiva and Parvati grant liberation to the faithful. Today also honors Kubjika Jayanti, the embodiment of kundalini-shakti. This Tithi is a doorway—Shiva’s destructive compassion clears your path for spiritual renewal.

Nakshatra Transition

Until 3:37 PM, Purva Bhadrapada (Agni-tattva) burns away impurities through intensity. Following this, Uttara Bhadrapada (Apas-tattva) brings the cooling compassion of the cosmic ocean. While this transition favors deep meditation, the onset of Vidaal Yoga at 3:37 PM suggests a need for caution against instability and loss in the evening hours.

Simple Practice for Today

For Vishu Kani, ensure your first sight at dawn is of auspicious items (flowers, fruits, mirror). Observe Budha Pradosh Vrat by fasting until evening. Perform abhishekha to a Shiva lingam with bilva leaves and water while chanting "Om Namah Shivaya". Let the regional New Year be a celebration of the heart rather than worldly action, as Panchaka invites us to turn our focus inward.

Shubham Bhavatu — May auspiciousness be yours.
