Abhijit Muhurta - Howrah, 16 November 2025

On Sunday, 16 November 2025, the Vedic calendar across Howrah carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 5:51 AM in Howrah and dipping below the horizon at 4:51 PM, bringing 11 hours 1 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Dwadashi of the Krishna fortnight, and the nakshatra of the day is Hasta. The reigning yoga is Vishkambha, completing the core panchang signature for 2025-11-16. The Brahma Muhurta window for Howrah spans 4:15 AM to 5:03 AM — the hour the classics name as most favourable for study and sadhana.

Across Howrah, The Rahu Kala window falls between 3:29 PM and 4:51 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. Disha Shool today points West — the direction to avoid for new travel on Sunday per classical muhurta convention. On the auspicious side, the first favourable choghadiya is Labh (8:36 AM–9:59 AM). Hasta nakshatra is with Moon as its ruling planet, making this a day shaped by both celestial timing and local geography.

Why is sunrise in Howrah on 16 November 2025 at 5:51 AM?
