Abhijit Muhurta - Lucknow, 15 March 2026

On Sunday, the 15th of March 2026, the Vedic calendar in Lucknow carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Sunrise arrives at 6:16 AM and dipping below the horizon at 6:13 PM, bringing 11 hours 57 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Ekadashi of Krishna side of the lunar month, and the nakshatra of the day is Shravana. The day carries the Parigha yoga, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-03-15. Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn meditation window, runs from 4:40 AM to 5:28 AM.

In Lucknow, Rahu Kala runs from 4:44 PM to 6:13 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 9:16 AM to 10:45 AM, stands out as the best muhurta. Shravana nakshatra is under the lordship of Moon, bringing the ancient panchang frame into direct contact with Lucknow's horizon.
