Choghadiya - Rajkot, 15 December 2025

On Monday, 15 December 2025, the Vedic calendar throughout Rajkot carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. The sun rises at 7:19 AM and dipping below the horizon at 6:04 PM, bringing 10 hours 45 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Ekadashi of Krishna Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Chitra. Shobhana yoga presides over the day, completing the core panchang signature for 2025-12-15. Brahma Muhurta opens at 5:43 AM and closes at 6:31 AM, anchored to today's local sunrise.

Throughout Rajkot, Rahu Kala occupies the stretch from 8:40 AM through 10:00 AM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. Today's Disha Shool falls in the East direction — classical guidance advises against new Monday journeys toward the East. On the auspicious side, the Amrit choghadiya (7:19 AM–8:40 AM) is the day's prime auspicious window. Chitra nakshatra is ruled by Mars, anchoring the vedic day in the particulars of Rajkot.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rahu Kaal in Rajkot on 15 December 2025?

In Rajkot on 15 December 2025, Rahu Kaal runs from 8:40 AM to 10:00 AM. 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 Rajkot on 15 December 2025 at 7:19 AM?

Sunrise at 7:19 AM in Rajkot on 15 December 2025 is determined by the city's geographic latitude (22.30°N) and the Earth's axial tilt on this date. The exact sunrise and sunset (6:04 PM) define the length of the Vedic day and anchor all panchang calculations — from Rahu Kaal to the choghadiya slots — to Rajkot's local horizon.

Is 15 December 2025 Ekadashi?

Yes, 15 December 2025 is Krishna Ekadashi as observed from Rajkot. The Ekadashi tithi runs from 6:50 PM to 9:20 PM local time.
