Brahma Muhurta - Vijayawada, 16 September 2026

On Wednesday, 16 September 2026, the Vedic calendar across Vijayawada carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 5:56 AM in Vijayawada and dipping below the horizon at 6:07 PM, bringing 12 hours 11 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Panchami of Shukla Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Vishakha. The reigning yoga is Vaidhriti, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-09-16. The Brahma Muhurta window for Vijayawada spans 4:20 AM to 5:08 AM — the hour the classics name as most favourable for study and sadhana.

Across Vijayawada, The Rahu Kala window falls between 12:02 PM and 1:33 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours.

Vishakha nakshatra is with Jupiter as its ruling planet, making this a day shaped by both celestial timing and local geography.
