Choghadiya - Amritsar, 16 July 2025

On Wednesday, the 16th of July 2025, the Vedic calendar in Amritsar carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Sunrise arrives at 5:37 AM and dipping below the horizon at 7:35 PM, bringing 13 hours 58 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Shashthi of the Krishna fortnight, and the nakshatra of the day is Purva Bhadrapada. The day carries the Shobhana yoga, completing the core panchang signature for 2025-07-16. Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn meditation window, runs from 4:01 AM to 4:49 AM.

In Amritsar, Rahu Kala runs from 12:36 PM to 2:21 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. The inauspicious direction (Disha Shool) for Wednesday is North; new ventures toward the North are traditionally deferred. On the auspicious side, Labh choghadiya, running 5:37 AM to 7:22 AM, stands out as the best muhurta. Purva Bhadrapada nakshatra is under the lordship of Jupiter, bringing the ancient panchang frame into direct contact with Amritsar's horizon.

Why is sunrise in Amritsar on 16 July 2025 at 5:37 AM?

Sunrise at 5:37 AM in Amritsar on 16 July 2025 is determined by the city's geographic latitude (31.63°N) and the Earth's axial tilt on this date. The exact sunrise and sunset (7:35 PM) define the length of the Vedic day and anchor all panchang calculations — from Rahu Kaal to the choghadiya slots — to Amritsar's local horizon.

The yoga operative in Amritsar on 16 July 2025 is Shobhana, active from 2:12 PM to 11:57 AM local time.
