Brahma Muhurta - Chennai, 20 November 2025

On Thursday, 20 November 2025, the Vedic calendar across Chennai carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 6:10 AM in Chennai and dipping below the horizon at 5:38 PM, bringing 11 hours 27 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Amavasya of Krishna side of the lunar month, and the nakshatra of the day is Vishakha. The reigning yoga is Shobhana, completing the core panchang signature for 2025-11-20. The Brahma Muhurta window for Chennai spans 4:34 AM to 5:22 AM — the hour the classics name as most favourable for study and sadhana.

Across Chennai, The Rahu Kala window falls between 1:20 PM and 2:46 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours.
