Tarabalam - Howrah, 26 February 2026

On Thursday, 26 February 2026, the Vedic calendar throughout Howrah carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. The sun rises at 6:01 AM and dipping below the horizon at 5:38 PM, bringing 11 hours 36 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Dashami of the Shukla fortnight, and the nakshatra of the day is Mrigashira. Priti yoga presides over the day, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-02-26. Brahma Muhurta opens at 4:25 AM and closes at 5:13 AM, anchored to today's local sunrise.

Throughout Howrah, Rahu Kala occupies the stretch from 1:16 PM through 2:43 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours.

On the auspicious side, the Shubh choghadiya (6:01 AM–7:28 AM) is the day's prime auspicious window. Mrigashira nakshatra is ruled by Mars, anchoring the vedic day in the particulars of Howrah.
