Disha Shool - Varanasi, 12 March 2027

On Friday, the 12th of March 2027, the Vedic calendar in Varanasi carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Sunrise arrives at 6:11 AM and dipping below the horizon at 6:04 PM, bringing 11 hours 52 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Chaturthi of Shukla Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Ashwini.
