Disha Shool - Lucknow, 26 September 2026

On Saturday, the 26th of September 2026, the Vedic calendar in Lucknow carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Sunrise arrives at 5:57 AM and dipping below the horizon at 5:57 PM, bringing 12 hours of daylight. The tithi is Purnima of Shukla Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Purva Bhadrapada. The day carries the Ganda yoga, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-09-26. Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn meditation window, runs from 4:21 AM to 5:09 AM.

In Lucknow, Rahu Kala runs from 8:57 AM to 10:27 AM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. The inauspicious direction (Disha Shool) for Saturday is East; new ventures toward the East are traditionally deferred. On the auspicious side, Shubh choghadiya, running 7:27 AM to 8:57 AM, stands out as the best muhurta. Purva Bhadrapada nakshatra is under the lordship of Jupiter, bringing the ancient panchang frame into direct contact with Lucknow's horizon.
