Abhijit Muhurta - Howrah, 27 April 2026

On Monday, the 27th of April 2026, the Vedic calendar for those in Howrah carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. The morning light begins at 5:08 AM and dipping below the horizon at 6:01 PM, bringing 12 hours 53 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Ekadashi of Shukla side of the lunar month, and the nakshatra of the day is Purva Phalguni. Yoga for the day is Dhruva, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-04-27.

For those in Howrah, From 6:45 AM to 8:21 AM Rahu Kala is in force — the period to avoid for new endeavours.

On the auspicious side, Amrit (5:08 AM–6:45 AM) is the top-quality choghadiya of the day. Purva Phalguni nakshatra is governed by Venus, grounding the cosmic calendar in the rhythms of this specific place and time.
