Varjyam — also called Vishaghati or Nakshatra Thyajyam — is a forbidden window in the Hindu day, keyed to the nakshatra the Moon occupies. Each of the 27 nakshatras carries a tabulated tyajya offset; the Varjyam window opens that many ghatikas after the nakshatra began and runs for four ghatikas (≈96 min). Because nakshatra durations vary 21–27 hours, the elastic Varjyam width drifts ~84–108 minutes day to day.

Classical śāstra (Muhurta-chintamani, Brihat Parashara) prescribes avoiding the start of new ventures, journeys, weddings, and any śubha-karma inside Varjyam. Reading scripture and continuing already-begun work are not restricted.

On nakshatra-transition days a day can carry two Varjyam windows — one per nakshatra — and Mula alone carries two tyajya spells of its own. The widget above lists every window that begins within today’s Hindu day; a window beginning before sunrise belongs to the previous day, as printed panchangs attribute it.
