Disha Shool - Madurai, 25 August 2025

On Monday, 25 August 2025, the Vedic calendar across Madurai carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 6:09 AM in Madurai and dipping below the horizon at 6:29 PM, bringing 12 hours 20 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Dwitiya of Shukla side of the lunar month, and the nakshatra of the day is Uttara Phalguni. The reigning yoga is Siddha, completing the core panchang signature for 2025-08-25. The Brahma Muhurta window for Madurai spans 4:33 AM to 5:21 AM — the hour the classics name as most favourable for study and sadhana.

Across Madurai, The Rahu Kala window falls between 7:42 AM and 9:14 AM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. Disha Shool today points East — the direction to avoid for new travel on Monday per classical muhurta convention. On the auspicious side, the first favourable choghadiya is Amrit (6:09 AM–7:42 AM). Uttara Phalguni nakshatra is with Sun as its ruling planet, making this a day shaped by both celestial timing and local geography.
