Inauspicious Period
Mathura Gulika Kaal Today
Mathura, Uttar Pradesh · 25 August 2026
Gulika Kaal (Gulikai, or Mandi in South Indian tradition) is a daily inauspicious period ruled by Gulika, a sub-planet associated with Saturn. It has a distinctive belief attached to it: whatever is done during Gulika Kaal tends to be repeated — which is why it is avoided for inauspicious or one-off acts, and why it is treated with particular care.
