Choghadiya - New York, 22 August 2025

On Friday, 22 August 2025, the Vedic calendar throughout New York carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. The sun rises at 6:14 AM and dipping below the horizon at 7:42 PM, bringing 13 hours 27 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Amavasya of Krishna Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Ashlesha. Parigha yoga presides over the day, completing the core panchang signature for 2025-08-22. Brahma Muhurta opens at 4:38 AM and closes at 5:26 AM, anchored to today's local sunrise.

Throughout New York, Rahu Kala occupies the stretch from 11:17 AM through 12:58 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours.

On the auspicious side, the Labh choghadiya (7:55 AM–9:36 AM) is the day's prime auspicious window. Ashlesha nakshatra is ruled by Mercury, anchoring the vedic day in the particulars of New York.
