Abhijit Muhurta - Mumbai, 16 December 2026

On Wednesday, 16 December 2026, the Vedic calendar across Mumbai carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 7:05 AM in Mumbai and dipping below the horizon at 6:02 PM, bringing 10 hours 57 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Saptami of Shukla Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Shatabhisha. The reigning yoga is Vajra, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-12-16. The Brahma Muhurta window for Mumbai spans 5:29 AM to 6:17 AM — the hour the classics name as most favourable for study and sadhana.

Across Mumbai, The Rahu Kala window falls between 12:33 PM and 1:56 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours.

On the auspicious side, the first favourable choghadiya is Labh (7:05 AM–8:27 AM). Shatabhisha nakshatra is with Rahu as its ruling planet, making this a day shaped by both celestial timing and local geography.
