Gulika Kala - Howrah, 31 May 2026

On Sunday, the 31st of May 2026, the Vedic calendar for those in Howrah carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. The morning light begins at 4:53 AM and dipping below the horizon at 6:16 PM, bringing 13 hours 23 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Purnima of Shukla side of the lunar month, and the nakshatra of the day is Anuradha. Yoga for the day is Shiva, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-05-31. Pre-dawn, from 3:17 AM to 4:05 AM, is Brahma Muhurta: the period the Vedic tradition reserves for prayer, meditation, and study.

For those in Howrah, From 4:35 PM to 6:16 PM Rahu Kala is in force — the period to avoid for new endeavours. On Sunday the Disha Shool (directional affliction) is West; the classical recommendation is to delay West-facing departures. On the auspicious side, Labh (8:13 AM–9:54 AM) is the top-quality choghadiya of the day. Anuradha nakshatra is governed by Saturn, grounding the cosmic calendar in the rhythms of this specific place and time.
