Nakshatra Thyajyam — Varjyam / Visha Ghati Timings
The inauspicious window of 4 ghatis (about 1 hour 36 minutes) inside every Nakshatra, with its Tyajya Ghatis, rashi and degrees.
Every Thyajyam window lasts 4 ghatis — 96 minutes (1 hour 36 minutes)
What is Nakshatra Thyajyam?
Nakshatra Thyajyam is an inauspicious time of approximately 1 hour and 36 minutes every day. No auspicious Muhurtam is suggested during this time window. Many Panchang, including Drik Panchang, show Nakshatra Thyajyam as Varjyam in the daily Panchangam.
Nakshatra Thyajyam is known as Visha Ghatis in North India. The window is tied to the Nakshatra of the day, but its exact clock time depends on your location — which is why there may be two Thyajyam windows in a single day.
Prohibited Activities
Marriage, Chudakaram (Mundan), Annaprasana Samskara, entering into a new house, travelling and any other auspicious work should be avoided during Nakshatra Thyajyam.

Each Tyajya window lasts 4 ghatis, i.e. 1 hour 36 minutes. One ghati of a Nakshatra equals 24 minutes, so the Start Time above is counted from the moment that Nakshatra begins. The table itself is the fixed rule — the date and clock time of the window are given by the Nakshatra of the day at your location.

The daily Panchangam of your own place shows the location-based Nakshatra Thyajyam window for each day, which is the practical way to check the exact time before starting a work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Nakshatra Thyajyam and the daily Varjyam window.
Q:What is Nakshatra Thyajyam?
Nakshatra Thyajyam is the inauspicious part of a Nakshatra — a window of 4 ghatis, about 1 hour and 36 minutes, in which no auspicious work should be started. The same window is called Varjyam in the daily Panchangam and Visha Ghati in North India.
Q:Which activities should be avoided during Nakshatra Thyajyam?
Marriage, Chudakaram (Mundan), Annaprasana Samskara, entering a new house, starting a journey and every other auspicious ceremony should be avoided. Only routine work that has no Muhurat attached to it is normally continued.
Q:How long does the Thyajyam window last?
Always 4 ghatis. One ghati of a Nakshatra is 24 minutes, so the window lasts 96 minutes — about 1 hour and 36 minutes — inside every Nakshatra.
Q:Why can there be two Thyajyam windows in one day?
Because a Nakshatra lasts about 24 hours and a day is measured from sunrise. Depending on the Moon's speed and your location, the tail of one Nakshatra and the head of the next can both fall inside the same calendar day, giving two Thyajyam windows on that day.
Q:Is Nakshatra Thyajyam the same for everyone?
The ghatis of the Tyajya window are the same everywhere — they belong to the Nakshatra. But the clock time is not, because the Nakshatra begins and ends at different moments at different places. Use the Panchangam for your own location to get the exact time.
