What is Karana (करण)

The Hindu Panchang has five different limbs.  First is a date, (tithi), second is the day (war), 3rd nakshatra, 4th is a yoga and 5th Karana. An auspicious or Mangal work is started only after calculating these five punching organs. Let's tell you about Karana. How many are there, what are the names, what is the importance of Karana in good deeds, in which Karana is fulfilled or not?

Half of the tithi is called Karana. It is based on lunar day or tithi. When the moon completes 6 degrees, then one Karana is completed. That is, there are two Karanas in one tithi. One Karana also ends with the end of the tithi. One Karana in the first half and the other is in the second half. Astrology describes a total of 11 types of Karanas. They all repeat in a certain order throughout the lunar month of 30. Seven Karana comes eight times in two Pakshas, which is 56 in total. 

The rest of the four Karanas come in a certain process. Thus, one lunar month has a total of 60 Karana. Karana has 11 types of names: Bav, Balav, Kaulav, Taytil, Gar, Vanij, Vishti, Shakuni, Chaturshpad, Nag and Kistughan. In the second half of the Krishna paksha, the Chaturdashi, the 14th day, Shakuni in Uthardhar (in the first half), Chatushpad in Purvadhra or second half of Amavasya, the Uttardha of the name in Amavasya, and Pratipadha of Shuklapaksha, are Kistughan Karanas.
