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: Amavasyaअमावस्याtill 14:59then Pratipadaप्रतिपदाtill 39:41
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: 24.2368°). 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 Howrah'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.

Choghadiya - Howrah, 8 March 2027

On Monday, 8 March 2027, the Vedic calendar across Howrah carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 5:53 AM in Howrah and dipping below the horizon at 5:42 PM, bringing 11 hours 49 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Amavasya of Krishna Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Shatabhisha. The reigning yoga is Sadhya, completing the core panchang signature for 2027-03-08. The Brahma Muhurta window for Howrah spans 4:17 AM to 5:05 AM — the hour the classics name as most favourable for study and sadhana.

Across Howrah, The Rahu Kala window falls between 7:22 AM and 8:50 AM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. Disha Shool today points East — the direction to avoid for new travel on Monday per classical muhurta convention. On the auspicious side, the first favourable choghadiya is Amrit (5:53 AM–7:22 AM). Shatabhisha nakshatra is with Rahu as its ruling planet, making this a day shaped by both celestial timing and local geography.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rahu Kaal in Howrah on 8 March 2027?

In Howrah on 8 March 2027, Rahu Kaal runs from 7:22 AM to 8:50 AM. 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 Howrah on 8 March 2027 at 5:53 AM?

Sunrise at 5:53 AM in Howrah on 8 March 2027 is determined by the city's geographic latitude (22.60°N) and the Earth's axial tilt on this date. The exact sunrise and sunset (5:42 PM) define the length of the Vedic day and anchor all panchang calculations — from Rahu Kaal to the choghadiya slots — to Howrah's local horizon.
