Abhijit Muhurta - Chennai, 3 September 2025

On Wednesday, 3 September 2025, the Vedic calendar across Chennai carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 5:58 AM in Chennai and dipping below the horizon at 6:17 PM, bringing 12 hours 19 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Ekadashi of Shukla side of the lunar month, and the nakshatra of the day is Purva Ashadha. The reigning yoga is Ayushman, completing the core panchang signature for 2025-09-03. The Brahma Muhurta window for Chennai spans 4:22 AM to 5:10 AM — the hour the classics name as most favourable for study and sadhana.

Across Chennai, The Rahu Kala window falls between 12:08 PM and 1:40 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours.

On the auspicious side, the first favourable choghadiya is Labh (5:58 AM–7:31 AM). Purva Ashadha nakshatra is with Venus as its ruling planet, making this a day shaped by both celestial timing and local geography.
