Godhuli Muhurta - Howrah, 5 November 2026

On Thursday, the 5th of November 2026, the Vedic calendar in Howrah carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Sunrise arrives at 5:44 AM and dipping below the horizon at 4:56 PM, bringing 11 hours 12 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Ekadashi of Krishna Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Uttara Phalguni. The day carries the Indra yoga, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-11-05. Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn meditation window, runs from 4:08 AM to 4:56 AM.

In Howrah, Rahu Kala runs from 12:44 PM to 2:08 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. The inauspicious direction (Disha Shool) for Thursday is South; new ventures toward the South are traditionally deferred. On the auspicious side, Shubh choghadiya, running 5:44 AM to 7:08 AM, stands out as the best muhurta. Uttara Phalguni nakshatra is under the lordship of Sun, bringing the ancient panchang frame into direct contact with Howrah's horizon.

Why is sunrise in Howrah on 5 November 2026 at 5:44 AM?
