What is Bhadra Kaal?
In Vedic Astrology, Bhadra is one of the 11 Karanas, specifically known as 'Vishti Karana'. It is traditionally avoided for starting auspicious tasks like weddings, housewarmings, or new businesses. However, it is considered a powerful time for activities requiring force, legal matters, and competitive actions.
