Choghadiya - Dhanbad, 20 November 2025

On Thursday, 20 November 2025, the Vedic calendar across Dhanbad carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 6:03 AM in Dhanbad and dipping below the horizon at 4:56 PM, bringing 10 hours 53 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Amavasya of Krishna Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Vishakha. The reigning yoga is Shobhana, completing the core panchang signature for 2025-11-20. The Brahma Muhurta window for Dhanbad spans 4:27 AM to 5:15 AM — the hour the classics name as most favourable for study and sadhana.

Across Dhanbad, The Rahu Kala window falls between 12:51 PM and 2:13 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. Disha Shool today points South — the direction to avoid for new travel on Thursday per classical muhurta convention. On the auspicious side, the first favourable choghadiya is Shubh (6:03 AM–7:24 AM). Vishakha nakshatra is with Jupiter as its ruling planet, making this a day shaped by both celestial timing and local geography.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rahu Kaal in Dhanbad on 20 November 2025?

In Dhanbad on 20 November 2025, Rahu Kaal runs from 12:51 PM to 2:13 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 20 November 2025 at 6:03 AM?

Sunrise at 6:03 AM in Dhanbad on 20 November 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 (4:56 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.

Is 20 November 2025 Amavasya?

Yes, 20 November 2025 is Amavasya (new-moon day) in the Vedic calendar as observed from Dhanbad. The Amavasya tithi runs from 9:44 AM to 12:17 PM local time. Amavasya is traditionally significant for ancestral rites (Pitru Tarpan), and many people observe a fast or visit temples dedicated to Shiva or Kali on this day.
