Hora - Howrah, 9 March 2026

On Monday, 9 March 2026, the Vedic calendar across Howrah carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 5:52 AM in Howrah and dipping below the horizon at 5:42 PM, bringing 11 hours 50 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Shashthi of the Krishna fortnight, and the nakshatra of the day is Vishakha. The reigning yoga is Vyaghata, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-03-09.
