Yamaganda Kala - Pune, 23 August 2025

On Saturday, the 23rd of August 2025, the Vedic calendar in Pune carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Sunrise arrives at 6:19 AM and dipping below the horizon at 6:55 PM, bringing 12 hours 36 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Amavasya of Krishna Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Magha. The day carries the Parigha yoga, completing the core panchang signature for 2025-08-23. Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn meditation window, runs from 4:43 AM to 5:31 AM.

In Pune, Rahu Kala runs from 9:28 AM to 11:02 AM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. The inauspicious direction (Disha Shool) for Saturday is East; new ventures toward the East are traditionally deferred. On the auspicious side, Shubh choghadiya, running 7:53 AM to 9:28 AM, stands out as the best muhurta. Magha nakshatra is under the lordship of Ketu, bringing the ancient panchang frame into direct contact with Pune's horizon.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rahu Kaal in Pune on 23 August 2025?

In Pune on 23 August 2025, Rahu Kaal runs from 9:28 AM to 11:02 AM. This 90-minute window is governed by Rahu and is traditionally avoided for starting new work, travel, or auspicious ceremonies. The timing shifts daily based on local sunrise, so it differs from city to city.

Why is sunrise in Pune on 23 August 2025 at 6:19 AM?

Sunrise at 6:19 AM in Pune on 23 August 2025 is determined by the city's geographic latitude (18.52°N) and the Earth's axial tilt on this date. The exact sunrise and sunset (6:55 PM) define the length of the Vedic day and anchor all panchang calculations — from Rahu Kaal to the choghadiya slots — to Pune's local horizon.

Is 23 August 2025 Amavasya?

Yes, 23 August 2025 is Amavasya (new-moon day) in the Vedic calendar as observed from Pune. The Amavasya tithi runs from 11:56 AM to 11:36 AM local time.
