Choghadiya - Madurai, 13 December 2025

On Saturday, 13 December 2025, the Vedic calendar across Madurai carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 6:26 AM in Madurai and dipping below the horizon at 5:57 PM, bringing 11 hours 31 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Navami of Krishna Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Hasta. The reigning yoga is Ayushman, completing the core panchang signature for 2025-12-13. The Brahma Muhurta window for Madurai spans 4:50 AM to 5:38 AM — the hour the classics name as most favourable for study and sadhana.

Across Madurai, The Rahu Kala window falls between 9:18 AM and 10:45 AM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. Disha Shool today points East — the direction to avoid for new travel on Saturday per classical muhurta convention. On the auspicious side, the first favourable choghadiya is Shubh (7:52 AM–9:18 AM). Hasta nakshatra is with Moon as its ruling planet, making this a day shaped by both celestial timing and local geography.

Why is sunrise in Madurai on 13 December 2025 at 6:26 AM?
