Disha Shool - Mumbai, 21 December 2025

On Sunday, the 21st of December 2025, the Vedic calendar in Mumbai carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Sunrise arrives at 7:08 AM and dipping below the horizon at 6:05 PM, bringing 10 hours 57 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Pratipada of the Shukla fortnight, and the nakshatra of the day is Purva Ashadha. The day carries the Vriddhi yoga, completing the core panchang signature for 2025-12-21. Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn meditation window, runs from 5:32 AM to 6:20 AM.

In Mumbai, Rahu Kala runs from 4:42 PM to 6:05 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. The inauspicious direction (Disha Shool) for Sunday is West; new ventures toward the West are traditionally deferred. On the auspicious side, Labh choghadiya, running 9:52 AM to 11:14 AM, stands out as the best muhurta. Purva Ashadha nakshatra is under the lordship of Venus, bringing the ancient panchang frame into direct contact with Mumbai's horizon.
