Tarabalam - Bhopal, 17 November 2026

On Tuesday, the 17th of November 2026, the Vedic calendar in Bhopal carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Sunrise arrives at 6:36 AM and dipping below the horizon at 5:34 PM, bringing 10 hours 58 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Ashtami of the Shukla fortnight, and the nakshatra of the day is Dhanishtha. The day carries the Vriddhi yoga, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-11-17. Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn meditation window, runs from 5:00 AM to 5:48 AM.

In Bhopal, Rahu Kala runs from 2:49 PM to 4:11 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. The inauspicious direction (Disha Shool) for Tuesday is North; new ventures toward the North are traditionally deferred. On the auspicious side, Labh choghadiya, running 10:42 AM to 12:05 PM, stands out as the best muhurta. Dhanishtha nakshatra is under the lordship of Mars, bringing the ancient panchang frame into direct contact with Bhopal's horizon.
