Choghadiya - Dhanbad, 14 October 2025

On Tuesday, 14 October 2025, the Vedic calendar throughout Dhanbad carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. The sun rises at 5:42 AM and dipping below the horizon at 5:18 PM, bringing 11 hours 36 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Ashtami of the Krishna fortnight, and the nakshatra of the day is Punarvasu. Shiva yoga presides over the day, completing the core panchang signature for 2025-10-14. Brahma Muhurta opens at 4:06 AM and closes at 4:54 AM, anchored to today's local sunrise.

Throughout Dhanbad, Rahu Kala occupies the stretch from 2:24 PM through 3:51 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. Today's Disha Shool falls in the North direction — classical guidance advises against new Tuesday journeys toward the North. On the auspicious side, the Labh choghadiya (10:03 AM–11:30 AM) is the day's prime auspicious window. Punarvasu nakshatra is ruled by Jupiter, anchoring the vedic day in the particulars of Dhanbad.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rahu Kaal in Dhanbad on 14 October 2025?

In Dhanbad on 14 October 2025, Rahu Kaal runs from 2:24 PM to 3:51 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 Dhanbad on 14 October 2025 at 5:42 AM?

Sunrise at 5:42 AM in Dhanbad on 14 October 2025 is determined by the city's geographic latitude (23.80°N) and the Earth's axial tilt on this date. The exact sunrise and sunset (5:18 PM) define the length of the Vedic day and anchor all panchang calculations — from Rahu Kaal to the choghadiya slots — to Dhanbad's local horizon.

What yoga is operative in Dhanbad on 14 October 2025?

The yoga operative in Dhanbad on 14 October 2025 is Shiva, active from 8:10 AM to 5:55 AM local time. In the Vedic panchang, yoga is calculated from the combined longitudes of the Sun and Moon and cycles through 27 named yogas. Shiva yoga carries its own quality and influences the day's overall character — affecting the auspiciousness of activities begun during its span.
