Tarabalam - Houston, 29 October 2026

On Thursday, the 29th of October 2026, the Vedic calendar in Houston carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Sunrise arrives at 7:33 AM and dipping below the horizon at 6:36 PM, bringing 11 hours 2 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Chaturthi of Krishna Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Mrigashira. The day carries the Parigha yoga, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-10-29. Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn meditation window, runs from 5:57 AM to 6:45 AM.

In Houston, Rahu Kala runs from 2:27 PM to 3:50 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. The inauspicious direction (Disha Shool) for Thursday is South; new ventures toward the South are traditionally deferred. On the auspicious side, Shubh choghadiya, running 7:33 AM to 8:56 AM, stands out as the best muhurta. Mrigashira nakshatra is under the lordship of Mars, bringing the ancient panchang frame into direct contact with Houston's horizon.

Why is sunrise in Houston on 29 October 2026 at 7:33 AM?

Sunrise at 7:33 AM in Houston on 29 October 2026 is determined by the city's geographic latitude (29.76°N) and the Earth's axial tilt on this date. The exact sunrise and sunset (6:36 PM) define the length of the Vedic day and anchor all panchang calculations — from Rahu Kaal to the choghadiya slots — to Houston's local horizon.

What yoga is operative in Houston on 29 October 2026?

The yoga operative in Houston on 29 October 2026 is Parigha, active from 5:10 PM to 1:36 PM local time.
