Choghadiya - Ranchi, 16 March 2027

On Tuesday, the 16th of March 2027, the Vedic calendar in Ranchi carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Sunrise arrives at 5:58 AM and dipping below the horizon at 5:57 PM, bringing 11 hours 59 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Ashtami of Shukla Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Mrigashira. The day carries the Ayushman yoga, completing the core panchang signature for 2027-03-16. Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn meditation window, runs from 4:22 AM to 5:10 AM.

In Ranchi, Rahu Kala runs from 2:57 PM to 4:27 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. The inauspicious direction (Disha Shool) for Tuesday is North; new ventures toward the North are traditionally deferred. On the auspicious side, Labh choghadiya, running 10:27 AM to 11:57 AM, stands out as the best muhurta. Mrigashira nakshatra is under the lordship of Mars, bringing the ancient panchang frame into direct contact with Ranchi's horizon.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rahu Kaal in Ranchi on 16 March 2027?

In Ranchi on 16 March 2027, Rahu Kaal runs from 2:57 PM to 4:27 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 Ranchi on 16 March 2027 at 5:58 AM?

Sunrise at 5:58 AM in Ranchi on 16 March 2027 is determined by the city's geographic latitude (23.34°N) and the Earth's axial tilt on this date. The exact sunrise and sunset (5:57 PM) define the length of the Vedic day and anchor all panchang calculations — from Rahu Kaal to the choghadiya slots — to Ranchi's local horizon.

What yoga is operative in Ranchi on 16 March 2027?

The yoga operative in Ranchi on 16 March 2027 is Ayushman, active from 2:37 PM to 11:50 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. Ayushman yoga carries its own quality and influences the day's overall character — affecting the auspiciousness of activities begun during its span.
