The Panchang, a Hindu calendar, holds significant importance in Indian religious and cultural traditions. Daily auspicious and inauspicious yogas (planetary combinations), tithis (lunar days), nakshatras (lunar mansions), and planetary positions influence the success or failure of various life endeavors. In this context, May 30th, 2025, holds immense religious and spiritual significance.
This day falls on a Friday, which is considered auspicious, and is also the Chaturthi Tithi of the Shukla Paksha (bright fortnight) in the Jyeshtha month.
Furthermore, Vinayak Chaturthi, a fast dedicated to Lord Ganesha, will be observed on this day. Let's explore the important details of the Panchang for May 30th, 2025, including auspicious timings, Rahu Kalam, and sunrise/sunset times.
May 30th, 2025: Date and Yoga
