Choghadiya - Nashik, 24 May 2026

On Sunday, 24 May 2026, the Vedic calendar across Nashik carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 5:57 AM in Nashik and dipping below the horizon at 7:06 PM, bringing 13 hours 9 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Navami of Shukla Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Purva Phalguni. The reigning yoga is Harshana, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-05-24. The Brahma Muhurta window for Nashik spans 4:21 AM to 5:09 AM — the hour the classics name as most favourable for study and sadhana.

Across Nashik, The Rahu Kala window falls between 5:27 PM and 7:06 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. Disha Shool today points West — the direction to avoid for new travel on Sunday per classical muhurta convention. On the auspicious side, the first favourable choghadiya is Labh (9:14 AM–10:53 AM). Purva Phalguni nakshatra is with Venus as its ruling planet, making this a day shaped by both celestial timing and local geography.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rahu Kaal in Nashik on 24 May 2026?

In Nashik on 24 May 2026, Rahu Kaal runs from 5:27 PM to 7:06 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 Nashik on 24 May 2026 at 5:57 AM?

Sunrise at 5:57 AM in Nashik on 24 May 2026 is determined by the city's geographic latitude (20.00°N) and the Earth's axial tilt on this date. The exact sunrise and sunset (7:06 PM) define the length of the Vedic day and anchor all panchang calculations — from Rahu Kaal to the choghadiya slots — to Nashik's local horizon.

What yoga is operative in Nashik on 24 May 2026?

The yoga operative in Nashik on 24 May 2026 is Harshana, active from 4:42 AM to 3:44 AM local time. In the Vedic panchang, yoga is calculated from the combined longitudes of the Sun and Moon and cycles through 27 named yogas. Harshana yoga carries its own quality and influences the day's overall character — affecting the auspiciousness of activities begun during its span.
