Abhijit Muhurta - Dhanbad, 8 November 2026

On Sunday, the 8th of November 2026, the Vedic calendar in Dhanbad carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Sunrise arrives at 5:55 AM and dipping below the horizon at 5:00 PM, bringing 11 hours 5 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Chaturdashi of Krishna side of the lunar month, and the nakshatra of the day is Swati. The day carries the Ayushman yoga, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-11-08. Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn meditation window, runs from 4:19 AM to 5:07 AM.

In Dhanbad, Rahu Kala runs from 3:37 PM to 5:00 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. The inauspicious direction (Disha Shool) for Sunday is West; new ventures toward the West are traditionally deferred. On the auspicious side, Labh choghadiya, running 8:41 AM to 10:04 AM, stands out as the best muhurta. Swati nakshatra is under the lordship of Rahu, bringing the ancient panchang frame into direct contact with Dhanbad's horizon.
