Favourable for general auspicious activities. This page lists every Variyana Yoga in 2026 with its begin and end timings for your location.
Name: excellent, preferable
Variyana means excellent or preferable — a name that itself commends the Yoga rather than describing a specific domain. It belongs to the auspicious group and is treated in Muhurta as a generally favourable window without a narrow specialisation.
Because its name carries no specific association beyond general merit, Variyana is most often cited as simply good — suitable background timing for auspicious work of many kinds, chosen more for the absence of caution than for any single distinctive use.
It has no narrow specialisation — its name simply means excellent or preferable, and Muhurta treats it as a generally favourable Yoga suited to auspicious work of many kinds rather than one tied to a particular category.
A Nitya Yoga is one of 27 periods based on the sum (not the difference, as with Tithi) of the Sun's and Moon's longitudes, each 13°20' wide. It is distinct from the special Muhurat Yogas also listed under /yogas (like Ravi Yoga or Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga) — those are formed by a combination of Tithi, Nakshatra, and Vaara, whereas a Nitya Yoga is one of the five ever-present core elements of the Panchang.
