Gulika Kala - Meerut, 24 April 2026

On Friday, the 24th of April 2026, the Vedic calendar in Meerut carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Sunrise arrives at 5:45 AM and dipping below the horizon at 6:49 PM, bringing 13 hours 4 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Ashtami of the Shukla fortnight, and the nakshatra of the day is Pushya. The day carries the Shula yoga, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-04-24. Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn meditation window, runs from 4:09 AM to 4:57 AM.

In Meerut, Rahu Kala runs from 10:39 AM to 12:17 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. The inauspicious direction (Disha Shool) for Friday is West; new ventures toward the West are traditionally deferred. On the auspicious side, Labh choghadiya, running 7:23 AM to 9:01 AM, stands out as the best muhurta. Pushya nakshatra is under the lordship of Saturn, bringing the ancient panchang frame into direct contact with Meerut's horizon.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rahu Kaal in Meerut on 24 April 2026?

In Meerut on 24 April 2026, Rahu Kaal runs from 10:39 AM to 12:17 PM. This 90-minute window is governed by Rahu and is traditionally avoided for starting new work, travel, or auspicious ceremonies. The timing shifts daily based on local sunrise, so it differs from city to city.

Why is sunrise in Meerut on 24 April 2026 at 5:45 AM?

Sunrise at 5:45 AM in Meerut on 24 April 2026 is determined by the city's geographic latitude (28.98°N) and the Earth's axial tilt on this date. The exact sunrise and sunset (6:49 PM) define the length of the Vedic day and anchor all panchang calculations — from Rahu Kaal to the choghadiya slots — to Meerut's local horizon.

What yoga is operative in Meerut on 24 April 2026?

The yoga operative in Meerut on 24 April 2026 is Shula, active from 3:32 AM to 1:24 AM local time. In the Vedic panchang, yoga is calculated from the combined longitudes of the Sun and Moon and cycles through 27 named yogas. Shula yoga carries its own quality and influences the day's overall character — affecting the auspiciousness of activities begun during its span.
