Panchang — the five angas पञ्चाङ्ग

Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana and Vara with their end-times, plus the month and the Moon’s and Sun’s signs — computed for this city’s sunrise. Times after midnight use the traditional extended clock (e.g. 27:23 = 03:23 next morning).

Tithi: Purnimaपूर्णिमाtill 09:48then Pratipadaप्रतिपदाtill 33:57
What this means
The lunar day. It is set by how far the Moon has pulled ahead of the Sun — each 12 degrees of separation is one tithi. The tithi shapes which activities the tradition favours, and it ends at the time shown, when the next one begins.

How we compute this panchang

Every time on this page is calculated from the actual positions of the Sun and Moon using the Swiss Ephemeris (the same high-precision astronomical engine used by professional astronomers), not from a printed almanac or a fixed table.

Sidereal zodiac, Lahiri ayanamsha — the standard used by the Indian government calendar (ayanamsha for this date: 24.2294°). All nakshatra, rashi, tithi and yoga boundaries follow from it.
Local true sunrise — muhurta windows (Rahu Kaal, Choghadiya, Hora, Abhijit and the rest) are measured from the true sunrise computed for Vasai-Virar's exact coordinates, so they are correct for your location, not a regional approximation.
Two month conventions — we show both the Amanta (new-moon-to-new-moon) and Purnimanta (full-moon-to-full-moon) lunar month, because different regions of India follow different ones; an Adhika (intercalary) month is marked when it occurs.

Significance and auspicious/inauspicious flags are drawn from classical texts (Muhurta Chintamani, Brihat Samhita, the Puranas and others) and cited inline — we never assert an effect a text does not state.

Brahma Muhurta - Vasai-Virar, 28 August 2026

On Friday, 28 August 2026, the Vedic calendar throughout Vasai-Virar carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. The sun rises at 6:23 AM and dipping below the horizon at 6:56 PM, bringing 12 hours 33 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Purnima of Shukla side of the lunar month, and the nakshatra of the day is Shatabhisha. Atiganda yoga presides over the day, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-08-28. Brahma Muhurta opens at 4:47 AM and closes at 5:35 AM, anchored to today's local sunrise.

Throughout Vasai-Virar, Rahu Kala occupies the stretch from 11:05 AM through 12:39 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. Today's Disha Shool falls in the West direction — classical guidance advises against new Friday journeys toward the West. On the auspicious side, the Labh choghadiya (7:57 AM–9:31 AM) is the day's prime auspicious window. Shatabhisha nakshatra is ruled by Rahu, anchoring the vedic day in the particulars of Vasai-Virar.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rahu Kaal in Vasai-Virar on 28 August 2026?

In Vasai-Virar on 28 August 2026, Rahu Kaal runs from 11:05 AM to 12:39 PM. This 90-minute window is governed by Rahu and is traditionally avoided for starting new work, travel, or auspicious ceremonies. The timing shifts daily based on local sunrise, so it differs from city to city.

Why is sunrise in Vasai-Virar on 28 August 2026 at 6:23 AM?

Sunrise at 6:23 AM in Vasai-Virar on 28 August 2026 is determined by the city's geographic latitude (19.39°N) and the Earth's axial tilt on this date. The exact sunrise and sunset (6:56 PM) define the length of the Vedic day and anchor all panchang calculations — from Rahu Kaal to the choghadiya slots — to Vasai-Virar's local horizon.
