Godhuli Muhurta - New York, 12 October 2026

On Monday, the 12th of October 2026, the Vedic calendar in New York carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Sunrise arrives at 7:05 AM and dipping below the horizon at 6:19 PM, bringing 11 hours 14 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Dwitiya of Shukla Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Swati. The day carries the Vishkambha yoga, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-10-12. Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn meditation window, runs from 5:29 AM to 6:17 AM.

In New York, Rahu Kala runs from 8:29 AM to 9:53 AM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. The inauspicious direction (Disha Shool) for Monday is East; new ventures toward the East are traditionally deferred. On the auspicious side, Amrit choghadiya, running 7:05 AM to 8:29 AM, stands out as the best muhurta. Swati nakshatra is under the lordship of Rahu, bringing the ancient panchang frame into direct contact with New York's horizon.
