Tarabalam - Howrah, 20 December 2025

On Saturday, 20 December 2025, the Vedic calendar across Howrah carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 6:13 AM in Howrah and dipping below the horizon at 4:55 PM, bringing 10 hours 43 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Amavasya of the Krishna fortnight, and the nakshatra of the day is Mula. The reigning yoga is Ganda, completing the core panchang signature for 2025-12-20. The Brahma Muhurta window for Howrah spans 4:37 AM to 5:25 AM — the hour the classics name as most favourable for study and sadhana.

Across Howrah, The Rahu Kala window falls between 8:53 AM and 10:14 AM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. Disha Shool today points East — the direction to avoid for new travel on Saturday per classical muhurta convention. On the auspicious side, the first favourable choghadiya is Shubh (7:33 AM–8:53 AM). Mula nakshatra is with Ketu as its ruling planet, making this a day shaped by both celestial timing and local geography.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rahu Kaal in Howrah on 20 December 2025?

In Howrah on 20 December 2025, Rahu Kaal runs from 8:53 AM to 10:14 AM. This 90-minute window is governed by Rahu and is traditionally avoided for starting new work, travel, or auspicious ceremonies. The timing shifts daily based on local sunrise, so it differs from city to city.

Why is sunrise in Howrah on 20 December 2025 at 6:13 AM?

Sunrise at 6:13 AM in Howrah on 20 December 2025 is determined by the city's geographic latitude (22.60°N) and the Earth's axial tilt on this date. The exact sunrise and sunset (4:55 PM) define the length of the Vedic day and anchor all panchang calculations — from Rahu Kaal to the choghadiya slots — to Howrah's local horizon.

Is 20 December 2025 Amavasya?

Yes, 20 December 2025 is Amavasya (new-moon day) in the Vedic calendar as observed from Howrah. The Amavasya tithi runs from 4:59 AM to 7:13 AM local time.
