Disha Shool - Agra, 23 May 2026

On Saturday, 23 May 2026, the Vedic calendar across Agra carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 5:27 AM in Agra and dipping below the horizon at 7:02 PM, bringing 13 hours 35 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Ashtami of the Shukla fortnight, and the nakshatra of the day is Magha. The reigning yoga is Dhruva, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-05-23. The Brahma Muhurta window for Agra spans 3:51 AM to 4:39 AM — the hour the classics name as most favourable for study and sadhana.

Across Agra, The Rahu Kala window falls between 8:51 AM and 10:32 AM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. Disha Shool today points East — the direction to avoid for new travel on Saturday per classical muhurta convention. On the auspicious side, the first favourable choghadiya is Shubh (7:09 AM–8:51 AM). Magha nakshatra is with Ketu as its ruling planet, making this a day shaped by both celestial timing and local geography.
