Gulika Kala - Rajkot, 13 December 2026

On Sunday, the 13th of December 2026, the Vedic calendar for those in Rajkot carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. The morning light begins at 7:18 AM and dipping below the horizon at 6:03 PM, bringing 10 hours 45 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Chaturthi of Shukla Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Shravana. Yoga for the day is Dhruva, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-12-13. Pre-dawn, from 5:42 AM to 6:30 AM, is Brahma Muhurta: the period the Vedic tradition reserves for prayer, meditation, and study.

For those in Rajkot, From 4:42 PM to 6:03 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 (9:59 AM–11:20 AM) is the top-quality choghadiya of the day. Shravana nakshatra is governed by Moon, grounding the cosmic calendar in the rhythms of this specific place and time.
