Find Ravi yoga dates by year

Computing dates for the selected year...
How the explorer computes dates: every day is evaluated with our classical Panchang engine. Windows separated by 3 hours or less are merged into one run, and runs shorter than 5 minutes are dropped as ephemeris noise. Each run is dated by the IST date its window starts on. Dates and times computed for Ujjain (IST), the classical panchang reference. Near midnight run-starts, published panchangs can list a neighboring date.

What is Ravi yoga?

Ravi yoga is an auspicious muhurta yoga named after Ravi, the Sun. Classically it is present when the Moon sits in a nakshatra that is 4th, 6th, 9th, 10th, 13th or 20th from the Sun nakshatra. The Sun stands for vitality, authority and new beginnings, so days carrying Ravi yoga are considered supportive for starting important work.

The classical rule

Moon 4th from Sun nakshatra6th9th10th13th20th

Count the nakshatras from the Sun nakshatra to the Moon nakshatra. If the count is 4, 6, 9, 10, 13 or 20, Ravi yoga is present for that overlap in the Panchang day.
