Gulika Kala - Ranchi, 12 January 2026

On Monday, 12 January 2026, the Vedic calendar across Ranchi carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 6:33 AM in Ranchi and dipping below the horizon at 5:20 PM, bringing 10 hours 47 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Navami of Krishna side of the lunar month, and the nakshatra of the day is Swati. The reigning yoga is Dhriti, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-01-12. The Brahma Muhurta window for Ranchi spans 4:57 AM to 5:45 AM — the hour the classics name as most favourable for study and sadhana.
