The Gowri Panchang is an ancient Vedic timekeeping method used widely in South India to determine auspicious and inauspicious periods of the day. It divides the day into eight equal parts and classifies them into favorable (such as Amrita, Shubha, Labha) and unfavorable (like Rogha, Kala, Mrityu) segments.
Traditionally, Gowri Panchang is consulted for important activities such as marriage, travel, business, rituals, and daily tasks to ensure success and avoid obstacles. By using the Gowri Panchang, one can align their actions with cosmic rhythms and enhance the chances of positive outcomes.

•Identify the current Gowri period (Amrita, Shubha, etc.).
•Plan your important tasks during Amrita, Shubha, Labha, Char, and avoid Rogha, Kala, Mrityu times.
