Abhijit Muhurta - Delhi, 24 September 2026

On Thursday, 24 September 2026, the Vedic calendar across Delhi carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 6:11 AM in Delhi and dipping below the horizon at 6:14 PM, bringing 12 hours 3 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Trayodashi of Shukla Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Dhanishtha. The reigning yoga is Dhriti, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-09-24.
