Abhijit Muhurta - Madurai, 10 October 2026

On Saturday, 10 October 2026, the Vedic calendar across Madurai carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 6:06 AM in Madurai and dipping below the horizon at 6:02 PM, bringing 11 hours 55 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Amavasya of Krishna Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Hasta. The reigning yoga is Indra, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-10-10. The Brahma Muhurta window for Madurai spans 4:30 AM to 5:18 AM — the hour the classics name as most favourable for study and sadhana.

Across Madurai, The Rahu Kala window falls between 9:05 AM and 10:35 AM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. Disha Shool today points East — the direction to avoid for new travel on Saturday per classical muhurta convention. On the auspicious side, the first favourable choghadiya is Shubh (7:36 AM–9:05 AM). Hasta nakshatra is with Moon as its ruling planet, making this a day shaped by both celestial timing and local geography.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rahu Kaal in Madurai on 10 October 2026?

Why is sunrise in Madurai on 10 October 2026 at 6:06 AM?

Sunrise at 6:06 AM in Madurai on 10 October 2026 is determined by the city's geographic latitude (9.93°N) and the Earth's axial tilt on this date. The exact sunrise and sunset (6:02 PM) define the length of the Vedic day and anchor all panchang calculations — from Rahu Kaal to the choghadiya slots — to Madurai's local horizon.

Is 10 October 2026 Amavasya?

Yes, 10 October 2026 is Amavasya (new-moon day) in the Vedic calendar as observed from Madurai. The Amavasya tithi runs from 9:36 PM to 9:20 PM local time.
