Choghadiya - Madurai, 12 March 2026

Dawn breaks at 6:27 AM in Madurai and dipping below the horizon at 6:27 PM, bringing 12 hours of daylight. The tithi is Navami of Krishna side of the lunar month, and the nakshatra of the day is Mula. The reigning yoga is Siddhi, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-03-12.
