Frequently asked
When is Guru Peyarchi (Jupiter transit)?
Next Guru Peyarchi (Jupiter transit): Thirukanitha Saturday, 31 October 2026 into Simmam; Vakya Tuesday, 20 October 2026 into Simmam (Chennai time).
Why do Vakya and Thirukanitha differ by weeks or months?
Vakya reckons planetary positions from the traditional vakya tables; Thirukanitha is modern astronomical computation. For slow planets like Saturn and Jupiter the gap becomes weeks or months. Many temples, including Thirunallar, follow the Vakya date.
