Godhuli Muhurta - Dallas, 13 April 2026

On Monday, 13 April 2026, the Vedic calendar across Dallas carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 7:00 AM in Dallas and dipping below the horizon at 7:54 PM, bringing 12 hours 54 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Ekadashi of Krishna Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Shatabhisha. The reigning yoga is Shukla, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-04-13. The Brahma Muhurta window for Dallas spans 5:24 AM to 6:12 AM — the hour the classics name as most favourable for study and sadhana.

Across Dallas, The Rahu Kala window falls between 8:37 AM and 10:14 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 (7:00 AM–8:37 AM). Shatabhisha nakshatra is with Rahu as its ruling planet, making this a day shaped by both celestial timing and local geography.
