Inauspicious Period
Gorakhpur Varjyam Today
Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh · 25 August 2026
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 this window today · Gorakhpur
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.
Ruler: the Tyajya portion of the nakshatra
Varjyam in Gorakhpur today falls at 03:11 am–04:54 am, derived from the city's sunrise (05:34 am) and sunset (06:22 pm). For auspicious work, Gorakhpur's Abhijit Muhurat today is 11:34 am–12:22 pm.
Gorakhpur is the seat of the Gorakhnath Math, whose month-long Khichdi Mela from Makar Sankranti is eastern UP’s great winter fair. Gorakhpur runs about 3 minutes ahead of the IST meridian, so its Varjyam window is unique to the city — never reuse another city's timing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is today's Varjyam time in Gorakhpur?
Today's Varjyam for Gorakhpur is shown above with its exact start and end. It is derived from the day's nakshatra, so it is the same instant everywhere but displayed in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh local time; some days carry two Varjyam windows.
What is Varjyam?
Varjyam (Varjya or Tyajya) is an inauspicious window derived from the ruling nakshatra of the day. The word means "to be avoided", and new or auspicious work is not begun during it.
How is Varjyam calculated?
Each nakshatra has a fixed Varjya point measured in ghatis from its start; Varjyam is a four-ghati window at that point, scaled to the nakshatra's actual duration. The nakshatra timing is computed with Swiss Ephemeris.
What is the difference between Varjyam and Amrit Kaal?
They come from the same nakshatra but are opposite in nature: Varjyam is the inauspicious segment to avoid, while Amrit Kaal (24 ghatis later) is the auspicious nectar segment. Both shift with the nakshatra.
Can there be two Varjyam in a day?
Yes. When the nakshatra changes during the day, two Varjyam windows can occur. Both are shown above when they fall within the day.
