How long does Kaulava Karan last?

A Karan is half a Tithi — 6° of angular separation between the Sun and Moon — so it typically runs somewhere between about 5 and 8 hours. The exact begin and end times shift day to day because the Moon's speed varies, which is why the timings above are computed for your location rather than quoted as a fixed duration.

How is Kaulava Karan calculated?

Karan is derived purely from the angular distance between the Sun and the Moon. Each Tithi spans 12° of that separation, and each Karan covers half of it — 6°. Because it depends only on this angle and not on the observer's horizon, the sequence of Karans is the same everywhere on Earth; only the clock times differ by timezone.

About Kaulava Karan

Type

Movable (Chara)

Frequency

8 times per lunar month

Presiding deity

Mitra

Nature

Auspicious

Name: connected with *kula*, family or clan

Kaulava is the third movable Karan, recurring eight times a lunar month. Its deity is Mitra — literally "friend", the Vedic deity of contracts, alliance and mutual obligation — and the Karan takes its character directly from that.

It is regarded as auspicious for anything that binds two parties together: marriage, partnership, agreements, reconciliation and the strengthening of family ties. Where a decision involves another person's consent rather than one's own initiative, Kaulava is the traditional choice.

Suitable during this Karan

Marriage and engagement
Partnerships and business alliances
Signing agreements and contracts
Reconciliation and family gatherings

Frequently asked questions about Kaulava Karan

It is one of the Karans traditionally favoured for it. Its deity Mitra governs friendship and contracts, which is why Kaulava is associated with unions and agreements. In practice a marriage Muhurta is chosen from the whole Panchang — Tithi, Nakshatra, Vaara and Lagna together — with the Karan as one supporting factor rather than the deciding one.
