Tarabalam - Rajkot, 17 December 2025

On Wednesday, 17 December 2025, the Vedic calendar across Rajkot carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 7:20 AM in Rajkot and dipping below the horizon at 6:05 PM, bringing 10 hours 44 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Trayodashi of Krishna side of the lunar month, and the nakshatra of the day is Vishakha. The reigning yoga is Sukarma, completing the core panchang signature for 2025-12-17. The Brahma Muhurta window for Rajkot spans 5:44 AM to 6:32 AM — the hour the classics name as most favourable for study and sadhana.

Across Rajkot, The Rahu Kala window falls between 12:42 PM and 2:03 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. Disha Shool today points North — the direction to avoid for new travel on Wednesday per classical muhurta convention. On the auspicious side, the first favourable choghadiya is Labh (7:20 AM–8:41 AM). Vishakha nakshatra is with Jupiter as its ruling planet, making this a day shaped by both celestial timing and local geography.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is sunrise in Rajkot on 17 December 2025 at 7:20 AM?

Sunrise at 7:20 AM in Rajkot on 17 December 2025 is determined by the city's geographic latitude (22.30°N) and the Earth's axial tilt on this date. The exact sunrise and sunset (6:05 PM) define the length of the Vedic day and anchor all panchang calculations — from Rahu Kaal to the choghadiya slots — to Rajkot's local horizon.

The yoga operative in Rajkot on 17 December 2025 is Sukarma, active from 1:23 PM to 2:16 PM local time.
