Yamaganda Kala - Howrah, 29 January 2026

On Thursday, 29 January 2026, the Vedic calendar across Howrah carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 6:18 AM in Howrah and dipping below the horizon at 5:22 PM, bringing 11 hours 4 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Ekadashi of the Shukla fortnight, and the nakshatra of the day is Rohini. The reigning yoga is Indra, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-01-29. The Brahma Muhurta window for Howrah spans 4:42 AM to 5:30 AM — the hour the classics name as most favourable for study and sadhana.

Across Howrah, The Rahu Kala window falls between 1:13 PM and 2:36 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. Disha Shool today points South — the direction to avoid for new travel on Thursday per classical muhurta convention. On the auspicious side, the first favourable choghadiya is Shubh (6:18 AM–7:41 AM). Rohini nakshatra is with Moon as its ruling planet, making this a day shaped by both celestial timing and local geography.

Why is sunrise in Howrah on 29 January 2026 at 6:18 AM?

Sunrise at 6:18 AM in Howrah on 29 January 2026 is determined by the city's geographic latitude (22.60°N) and the Earth's axial tilt on this date. The exact sunrise and sunset (5:22 PM) define the length of the Vedic day and anchor all panchang calculations — from Rahu Kaal to the choghadiya slots — to Howrah's local horizon.
