Choghadiya - Prayagraj (Allahabad), 18 November 2026

On Wednesday, the 18th of November 2026, the Vedic calendar in Prayagraj (Allahabad) carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Sunrise arrives at 6:22 AM and dipping below the horizon at 5:12 PM, bringing 10 hours 49 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Navami of Shukla Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Shatabhisha. The day carries the Dhruva yoga, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-11-18. Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn meditation window, runs from 4:46 AM to 5:34 AM.

In Prayagraj (Allahabad), Rahu Kala runs from 11:47 AM to 1:08 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. The inauspicious direction (Disha Shool) for Wednesday is North; new ventures toward the North are traditionally deferred. On the auspicious side, Labh choghadiya, running 6:22 AM to 7:44 AM, stands out as the best muhurta.
