Rahu Kaal - Howrah, 8 March 2027

On Monday, 8 March 2027, the Vedic calendar across Howrah carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 5:53 AM in Howrah and dipping below the horizon at 5:42 PM, bringing 11 hours 49 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Amavasya of Krishna Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Shatabhisha. The reigning yoga is Sadhya, completing the core panchang signature for 2027-03-08. The Brahma Muhurta window for Howrah spans 4:17 AM to 5:05 AM — the hour the classics name as most favourable for study and sadhana.

Across Howrah, The Rahu Kala window falls between 7:22 AM and 8:50 AM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. Disha Shool today points East — the direction to avoid for new travel on Monday per classical muhurta convention. On the auspicious side, the first favourable choghadiya is Amrit (5:53 AM–7:22 AM). Shatabhisha nakshatra is with Rahu as its ruling planet, making this a day shaped by both celestial timing and local geography.
