Gulika Kala - Madurai, 3 August 2025

On Sunday, 3 August 2025, the Vedic calendar across Madurai carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 6:08 AM in Madurai and dipping below the horizon at 6:38 PM, bringing 12 hours 30 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Navami of Shukla Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Vishakha. The reigning yoga is Shukla, completing the core panchang signature for 2025-08-03. The Brahma Muhurta window for Madurai spans 4:32 AM to 5:20 AM — the hour the classics name as most favourable for study and sadhana.

Across Madurai, The Rahu Kala window falls between 5:05 PM and 6:38 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. Disha Shool today points West — the direction to avoid for new travel on Sunday per classical muhurta convention. On the auspicious side, the first favourable choghadiya is Labh (9:16 AM–10:49 AM). Vishakha nakshatra is with Jupiter as its ruling planet, making this a day shaped by both celestial timing and local geography.
