Tarabalam - Chennai, 22 February 2026

On Sunday, the 22nd of February 2026, the Vedic calendar in Chennai carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Sunrise arrives at 6:29 AM and dipping below the horizon at 6:15 PM, bringing 11 hours 46 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Panchami of the Shukla fortnight, and the nakshatra of the day is Ashwini. The day carries the Shukla yoga, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-02-22. Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn meditation window, runs from 4:53 AM to 5:41 AM.

In Chennai, Rahu Kala runs from 4:47 PM to 6:15 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. The inauspicious direction (Disha Shool) for Sunday is West; new ventures toward the West are traditionally deferred. On the auspicious side, Labh choghadiya, running 9:25 AM to 10:54 AM, stands out as the best muhurta.
