Yamaganda Kala - Vijayawada, 22 October 2026

On Thursday, the 22nd of October 2026, the Vedic calendar for those in Vijayawada carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. The morning light begins at 6:02 AM and dipping below the horizon at 5:41 PM, bringing 11 hours 39 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Ekadashi of Shukla side of the lunar month, and the nakshatra of the day is Shatabhisha. Yoga for the day is Vriddhi, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-10-22. Pre-dawn, from 4:26 AM to 5:14 AM, is Brahma Muhurta: the period the Vedic tradition reserves for prayer, meditation, and study.

For those in Vijayawada, From 1:19 PM to 2:46 PM Rahu Kala is in force — the period to avoid for new endeavours.

On the auspicious side, Shubh (6:02 AM–7:29 AM) is the top-quality choghadiya of the day.
