Gulika Kala - Madurai, 16 April 2027

On Friday, 16 April 2027, the Vedic calendar throughout Madurai carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. The sun rises at 6:07 AM and dipping below the horizon at 6:27 PM, bringing 12 hours 19 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Dashami of Shukla side of the lunar month, and the nakshatra of the day is Ashlesha. Ganda yoga presides over the day, completing the core panchang signature for 2027-04-16. Brahma Muhurta opens at 4:31 AM and closes at 5:19 AM, anchored to today's local sunrise.

Throughout Madurai, Rahu Kala occupies the stretch from 10:45 AM through 12:17 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. Today's Disha Shool falls in the West direction — classical guidance advises against new Friday journeys toward the West. On the auspicious side, the Labh choghadiya (7:40 AM–9:12 AM) is the day's prime auspicious window. Ashlesha nakshatra is ruled by Mercury, anchoring the vedic day in the particulars of Madurai.
