Godhuli Muhurta - Vadodara, 14 April 2026

On Tuesday, 14 April 2026, the Vedic calendar throughout Vadodara carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. The sun rises at 6:19 AM and dipping below the horizon at 6:55 PM, bringing 12 hours 37 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Dwadashi of the Krishna fortnight, and the nakshatra of the day is Shatabhisha. Shukla yoga presides over the day, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-04-14. Brahma Muhurta opens at 4:43 AM and closes at 5:31 AM, anchored to today's local sunrise.

Throughout Vadodara, Rahu Kala occupies the stretch from 3:46 PM through 5:21 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. Today's Disha Shool falls in the North direction — classical guidance advises against new Tuesday journeys toward the North. On the auspicious side, the Labh choghadiya (11:03 AM–12:37 PM) is the day's prime auspicious window. Shatabhisha nakshatra is ruled by Rahu, anchoring the vedic day in the particulars of Vadodara.

Why is sunrise in Vadodara on 14 April 2026 at 6:19 AM?
