Abhijit Muhurta - Howrah, 19 December 2025

On Friday, 19 December 2025, the Vedic calendar across Howrah carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 6:12 AM in Howrah and dipping below the horizon at 4:55 PM, bringing 10 hours 43 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Amavasya of the Krishna fortnight, and the nakshatra of the day is Jyeshtha. The reigning yoga is Shula, completing the core panchang signature for 2025-12-19. The Brahma Muhurta window for Howrah spans 4:36 AM to 5:24 AM — the hour the classics name as most favourable for study and sadhana.

Across Howrah, The Rahu Kala window falls between 10:13 AM and 11:34 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 (7:32 AM–8:53 AM). Jyeshtha nakshatra is with Mercury as its ruling planet, making this a day shaped by both celestial timing and local geography.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rahu Kaal in Howrah on 19 December 2025?

Why is sunrise in Howrah on 19 December 2025 at 6:12 AM?

Sunrise at 6:12 AM in Howrah on 19 December 2025 is determined by the city's geographic latitude (22.60°N) and the Earth's axial tilt on this date. The exact sunrise and sunset (4:55 PM) define the length of the Vedic day and anchor all panchang calculations — from Rahu Kaal to the choghadiya slots — to Howrah's local horizon.

Is 19 December 2025 Amavasya?

Yes, 19 December 2025 is Amavasya (new-moon day) in the Vedic calendar as observed from Howrah. The Amavasya tithi runs from 4:59 AM to 7:13 AM local time.
