Brahma Muhurta - Ranchi, 2 April 2026

On Thursday, 2 April 2026, the Vedic calendar throughout Ranchi carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. The sun rises at 5:41 AM and dipping below the horizon at 6:03 PM, bringing 12 hours 22 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Purnima of Shukla side of the lunar month, and the nakshatra of the day is Hasta. Dhruva yoga presides over the day, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-04-02. Brahma Muhurta opens at 4:05 AM and closes at 4:53 AM, anchored to today's local sunrise.

Throughout Ranchi, Rahu Kala occupies the stretch from 1:25 PM through 2:58 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours.

On the auspicious side, the Shubh choghadiya (5:41 AM–7:14 AM) is the day's prime auspicious window. Hasta nakshatra is ruled by Moon, anchoring the vedic day in the particulars of Ranchi.

Why is sunrise in Ranchi on 2 April 2026 at 5:41 AM?
