Inauspicious Period
Varjyam Today
Varjyam (Varjya or Tyajya, meaning "to be avoided") is an inauspicious period calculated from the ruling nakshatra of the day. Each nakshatra has a discard-segment; Varjyam marks that window. It shifts daily with the nakshatra, and a day can occasionally have two Varjyam windows.
Avoid beginning new ventures, travel, signing, marriage talks, and auspicious ceremonies during Varjyam. It is treated much like Rahu Kaal — routine work may continue, but the start of anything important is shifted outside the window.

Why does Varjyam differ from city to city?
Varjyam is derived from the day's sunrise and sunset, which depend on a city's latitude and longitude. Two cities on the same date have different sunrise/sunset, so their Varjyam timings differ. Always use the window computed for your own city — pick it from the list on this page.
Does Varjyam change every day?
Yes. The weekday pattern is fixed, but the exact clock time shifts each day because it tracks the actual sunrise and sunset, which move through the year. Every city page here recalculates Varjyam daily using Swiss Ephemeris.
