Tarabalam - London, 20 November 2026

On Friday, the 20th of November 2026, the Vedic calendar for those in London carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. The morning light begins at 7:28 AM and dipping below the horizon at 4:03 PM, bringing 8 hours 35 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Ekadashi of Shukla Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Uttara Bhadrapada. Yoga for the day is Vajra, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-11-20. Pre-dawn, from 5:52 AM to 6:40 AM, is Brahma Muhurta: the period the Vedic tradition reserves for prayer, meditation, and study.

For those in London, From 10:41 AM to 11:45 AM Rahu Kala is in force — the period to avoid for new endeavours. On Friday the Disha Shool (directional affliction) is West; the classical recommendation is to delay West-facing departures. On the auspicious side, Labh (8:32 AM–9:37 AM) is the top-quality choghadiya of the day. Uttara Bhadrapada nakshatra is governed by Saturn, grounding the cosmic calendar in the rhythms of this specific place and time.
