Aaj Ka Panchang - Howrah, 17 October 2025

On Friday, 17 October 2025, the Vedic calendar across Howrah carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 5:35 AM in Howrah and dipping below the horizon at 5:09 PM, bringing 11 hours 34 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Ekadashi of Krishna side of the lunar month, and the nakshatra of the day is Magha. The reigning yoga is Shukla, completing the core panchang signature for 2025-10-17. The Brahma Muhurta window for Howrah spans 3:59 AM to 4:47 AM — the hour the classics name as most favourable for study and sadhana.

Across Howrah, The Rahu Kala window falls between 9:55 AM and 11:22 AM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. Disha Shool today points West — the direction to avoid for new travel on Friday per classical muhurta convention. On the auspicious side, the first favourable choghadiya is Labh (7:01 AM–8:28 AM). Magha nakshatra is with Ketu as its ruling planet, making this a day shaped by both celestial timing and local geography.
