Brahma Muhurta - Patna, 16 May 2027

On Sunday, 16 May 2027, the Vedic calendar across Patna carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 5:04 AM in Patna and dipping below the horizon at 6:26 PM, bringing 13 hours 22 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Ekadashi of the Shukla fortnight, and the nakshatra of the day is Uttara Phalguni. The reigning yoga is Vajra, completing the core panchang signature for 2027-05-16. The Brahma Muhurta window for Patna spans 3:28 AM to 4:16 AM — the hour the classics name as most favourable for study and sadhana.

Across Patna, The Rahu Kala window falls between 4:46 PM and 6:26 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. Disha Shool today points West — the direction to avoid for new travel on Sunday per classical muhurta convention. On the auspicious side, the first favourable choghadiya is Labh (8:25 AM–10:05 AM). Uttara Phalguni nakshatra is with Sun as its ruling planet, making this a day shaped by both celestial timing and local geography.
