Gulika Kala - Ludhiana, 6 January 2026

On Tuesday, 6 January 2026, the Vedic calendar across Ludhiana carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 7:26 AM in Ludhiana and dipping below the horizon at 5:38 PM, bringing 10 hours 12 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Tritiya of Krishna Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Ashlesha. The reigning yoga is Priti, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-01-06. The Brahma Muhurta window for Ludhiana spans 5:50 AM to 6:38 AM — the hour the classics name as most favourable for study and sadhana.

Across Ludhiana, The Rahu Kala window falls between 3:05 PM and 4:21 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours.

On the auspicious side, the first favourable choghadiya is Labh (11:15 AM–12:32 PM). Ashlesha nakshatra is with Mercury as its ruling planet, making this a day shaped by both celestial timing and local geography.
