Choghadiya - Madurai, 3 May 2027

On Monday, the 3rd of May 2027, the Vedic calendar in Madurai carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Sunrise arrives at 6:00 AM and dipping below the horizon at 6:28 PM, bringing 12 hours 28 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Dwadashi of Krishna side of the lunar month, and the nakshatra of the day is Uttara Bhadrapada. The day carries the Vaidhriti yoga, completing the core panchang signature for 2027-05-03. Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn meditation window, runs from 4:24 AM to 5:12 AM.
