Disha Shool - Dhanbad, 15 March 2026

On Sunday, 15 March 2026, the Vedic calendar throughout Dhanbad carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. The sun rises at 5:54 AM and dipping below the horizon at 5:52 PM, bringing 11 hours 58 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Ekadashi of Krishna side of the lunar month, and the nakshatra of the day is Shravana. Parigha yoga presides over the day, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-03-15. Brahma Muhurta opens at 4:18 AM and closes at 5:06 AM, anchored to today's local sunrise.

Throughout Dhanbad, Rahu Kala occupies the stretch from 4:22 PM through 5:52 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. Today's Disha Shool falls in the West direction — classical guidance advises against new Sunday journeys toward the West. On the auspicious side, the Labh choghadiya (8:53 AM–10:23 AM) is the day's prime auspicious window. Shravana nakshatra is ruled by Moon, anchoring the vedic day in the particulars of Dhanbad.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rahu Kaal in Dhanbad on 15 March 2026?

In Dhanbad on 15 March 2026, Rahu Kaal runs from 4:22 PM to 5:52 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 Dhanbad on 15 March 2026 at 5:54 AM?

Sunrise at 5:54 AM in Dhanbad on 15 March 2026 is determined by the city's geographic latitude (23.80°N) and the Earth's axial tilt on this date. The exact sunrise and sunset (5:52 PM) define the length of the Vedic day and anchor all panchang calculations — from Rahu Kaal to the choghadiya slots — to Dhanbad's local horizon.

Is 15 March 2026 Ekadashi?

Yes, 15 March 2026 is Krishna Ekadashi as observed from Dhanbad. The Ekadashi tithi runs from 8:11 AM to 9:17 AM local time. Ekadashi is one of the most sacred tithis in Vaishnavism — devotees observe a fast, avoid grains, and engage in continuous chanting or scripture reading throughout this day.
