Godhuli Muhurta - Patna, 22 September 2026

On Tuesday, 22 September 2026, the Vedic calendar across Patna carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 5:38 AM in Patna and dipping below the horizon at 5:45 PM, bringing 12 hours 6 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Ekadashi of Shukla Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Uttara Ashadha. The reigning yoga is Atiganda, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-09-22. The Brahma Muhurta window for Patna spans 4:02 AM to 4:50 AM — the hour the classics name as most favourable for study and sadhana.

Across Patna, The Rahu Kala window falls between 2:43 PM and 4:14 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours.

On the auspicious side, the first favourable choghadiya is Labh (10:11 AM–11:42 AM). Uttara Ashadha nakshatra is with Sun as its ruling planet, making this a day shaped by both celestial timing and local geography.
