Yamagandam Calculator

The time of Death or Yamagandam is believed to be one of the most inauspicious periods of time, at par with the Rahu Kalam periods.

It is said that any activity performed during these times will end in failure, disappointment, or worse, death. The meaning of this can also be perceived as the death of the task, wherein all promising activities fail, and the person faces dejection. It is believed that this period is not meant for significant tasks such as crucial business meetings, important exams, life-changing events, and decisions regarding finances or career.
These periods are based on the sunrise and sunset timings, and it is advised by astrologers to not indulge in any favourable activity.
