Aaj Ka Panchang - Dhanbad, 19 August 2025

On Tuesday, 19 August 2025, the Vedic calendar throughout Dhanbad carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. The sun rises at 5:22 AM and dipping below the horizon at 6:13 PM, bringing 12 hours 51 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Ekadashi of Krishna Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Ardra. Vajra yoga presides over the day, completing the core panchang signature for 2025-08-19. Brahma Muhurta opens at 3:46 AM and closes at 4:34 AM, anchored to today's local sunrise.

Throughout Dhanbad, Rahu Kala occupies the stretch from 3:00 PM through 4:36 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. Today's Disha Shool falls in the North direction — classical guidance advises against new Tuesday journeys toward the North. On the auspicious side, the Labh choghadiya (10:11 AM–11:47 AM) is the day's prime auspicious window. Ardra nakshatra is ruled by Rahu, anchoring the vedic day in the particulars of Dhanbad.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rahu Kaal in Dhanbad on 19 August 2025?

In Dhanbad on 19 August 2025, Rahu Kaal runs from 3:00 PM to 4:36 PM. This 90-minute window is governed by Rahu and is traditionally avoided for starting new work, travel, or auspicious ceremonies. The timing shifts daily based on local sunrise, so it differs from city to city.

Why is sunrise in Dhanbad on 19 August 2025 at 5:22 AM?

Sunrise at 5:22 AM in Dhanbad on 19 August 2025 is determined by the city's geographic latitude (23.80°N) and the Earth's axial tilt on this date. The exact sunrise and sunset (6:13 PM) define the length of the Vedic day and anchor all panchang calculations — from Rahu Kaal to the choghadiya slots — to Dhanbad's local horizon.

Is 19 August 2025 Ekadashi?

Yes, 19 August 2025 is Krishna Ekadashi as observed from Dhanbad. The Ekadashi tithi runs from 5:23 PM to 3:33 PM local time.
