Tarabalam - Vadodara, 8 December 2026

On Tuesday, 8 December 2026, the Vedic calendar across Vadodara carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 7:05 AM in Vadodara and dipping below the horizon at 5:52 PM, bringing 10 hours 47 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Amavasya of Krishna side of the lunar month, and the nakshatra of the day is Anuradha. The reigning yoga is Sukarma, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-12-08. The Brahma Muhurta window for Vadodara spans 5:29 AM to 6:17 AM — the hour the classics name as most favourable for study and sadhana.

Across Vadodara, The Rahu Kala window falls between 3:10 PM and 4:31 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. Disha Shool today points North — the direction to avoid for new travel on Tuesday per classical muhurta convention. On the auspicious side, the first favourable choghadiya is Labh (11:08 AM–12:29 PM). Anuradha nakshatra is with Saturn as its ruling planet, making this a day shaped by both celestial timing and local geography.
