Tarabalam - New York, 20 October 2025

On Monday, the 20th of October 2025, the Vedic calendar for those in New York carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. The morning light begins at 7:14 AM and dipping below the horizon at 6:06 PM, bringing 10 hours 52 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Amavasya of the Krishna fortnight, and the nakshatra of the day is Hasta. Yoga for the day is Vaidhriti, completing the core panchang signature for 2025-10-20. Pre-dawn, from 5:38 AM to 6:26 AM, is Brahma Muhurta: the period the Vedic tradition reserves for prayer, meditation, and study.

For those in New York, From 8:35 AM to 9:57 AM Rahu Kala is in force — the period to avoid for new endeavours. On Monday the Disha Shool (directional affliction) is East; the classical recommendation is to delay East-facing departures. On the auspicious side, Amrit (7:14 AM–8:35 AM) is the top-quality choghadiya of the day. Hasta nakshatra is governed by Moon, grounding the cosmic calendar in the rhythms of this specific place and time.
