Aaj Ka Panchang — New York, 29 August 2026

On 29 August 2026 the tithi in New York is Krishna Dwitiya, prevailing at sunrise and ending at 12:17 AM EDT. The nakshatra is Purva Bhadrapada (pada 3) until 6:12 PM EDT.

Rahu Kaal in New York on 29 August 2026 runs 9:39 AM to 11:18 AM EDT. Yamaganda (2:35 PM–4:14 PM) and Gulika (6:21 AM–8:00 AM) are also inauspicious — avoid starting new work in all three. They are computed from New York's actual sunrise, not a fixed national table.

The universally auspicious Abhijit Muhurat runs 12:30 PM–1:23 PM EDT. The choghadiya table above marks every Amrit and Shubh slot through the day and night — those are the best windows to begin work.

Tithis, nakshatras and yogas are moments in time, but Rahu Kaal, choghadiya and Abhijit are derived from local sunrise and sunset, so they shift with longitude and latitude. Bela computes each city from its own coordinates (40.7128°N, -74.006°E) — never a national average.

Bela's engine scans all 16 choghadiya windows of the day for each activity and scores the best one by classical muhurta rules: Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Durmuhurtam, Panchaka, nakshatra suitability, tithi and yoga. The 0–100 score is that window's strength — personal Tara Bala vs your birth star is an app feature.
