July 20 2026 Hindu Calendar: Sunrise, Sunset, Nakshatras and Yogas

The Hindu calendar for 20 July 2026 lists precise celestial events. Sunrise is expected at 05:56 UTC and sunset at 19:10 UTC. Lunar movements show the Moon rising at 11:34 UTC and setting at 23:19 UTC.

Planetary positions indicate the Sun will occupy the Pushya Nakshatra, while the Moon will move from Hasta to Chitra during the evening. These Nakshatra placements are considered propitious for worshipping deities, especially Shiva and Kartikeya.

Yoga periods for the day start with Shiva Yoga until 18:37 UTC, transitioning into Siddhi Yoga thereafter. The highly regarded Abhijit Muhurat runs from 12:06 UTC to 12:59 UTC, offering a narrow window for commencing important tasks without the risk of negative planetary influences.

In accordance with traditional guidelines, the following periods are marked as inauspicious: Rahukala (07:18‑09:01 UTC), Gulika Kala (14:10‑15:53 UTC), and Yamaganda (10:24‑12:05 UTC). It is recommended to defer new initiatives until after these times.
