Tarabalam - Jabalpur, 17 December 2026

On Thursday, the 17th of December 2026, the Vedic calendar in Jabalpur carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Sunrise arrives at 6:45 AM and dipping below the horizon at 5:26 PM, bringing 10 hours 41 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Ashtami of Shukla Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Purva Bhadrapada. The day carries the Siddhi yoga, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-12-17. Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn meditation window, runs from 5:09 AM to 5:57 AM.

In Jabalpur, Rahu Kala runs from 1:26 PM to 2:46 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 6:45 AM to 8:05 AM, stands out as the best muhurta. Purva Bhadrapada nakshatra is under the lordship of Jupiter, bringing the ancient panchang frame into direct contact with Jabalpur's horizon.

Why is sunrise in Jabalpur on 17 December 2026 at 6:45 AM?

The exact sunrise and sunset (5:26 PM) define the length of the Vedic day and anchor all panchang calculations — from Rahu Kaal to the choghadiya slots — to Jabalpur's local horizon.
