Late morning, upasandhi, about 9.00 am, 3. Noontime, madhyahna, about 12.00 noon, 4. Evening, sayahna, about 6.00 pm. 5. Early night, pradosha, about 8.00 pm 6. Late night, ardha yama, about 10.00 pm. Depending on the circumstances, the number is sometimes reduced up to 2, morning and evening.
Why is it called Pancha patra?
The vessel containing water used in rituals is called Pancha patra. Pancha means five. In elaborate worship, five vessels are used- Vishesha arghya patra containing a mix of 8 dravyas, Nirodha arghya patra containing a mix of 7 dravyas, Parangmukha arghya patra containing a mix of 6 dravyas, Padya patra, and Achamaniyaka patra. Even if only one vessel is used in their place, it came to be called Pancha patra.
