A panchang is the Hindu almanac that describes each day through five limbs — tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (the Moon's constellation), yoga, karana and vara (weekday) — and derives from them the day's auspicious and inauspicious periods. This page computes all of them for Arainj-laka-punga every day.
Today (19 June 2026) the tithi in Arainj-laka-punga is Shukla Paksha Panchami, until 5:02 PM IST.
Rahu Kaal in Arainj-laka-punga today is 9:44 AM – 11:20 AM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Arainj-laka-punga's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.
Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 10:54 AM – 11:46 AM IST in Arainj-laka-punga today. For longer ceremonies, also check the auspicious choghadiya periods listed on this page.
Sunrise-based periods — Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, choghadiya, Abhijit Muhurat — are fractions of the local day length, and sunrise in Arainj-laka-punga (12.60°N, 92.72°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Arainj-laka-punga's own coordinates.
The panchang — Sanskrit for "five limbs" — is the Hindu calendar that describes a day by its tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (lunar mansion), yoga, karana and vara (weekday). What you see here is the full panchang for Arainj-laka-punga, Andaman and Nicobar Islands on 19 June 2026: the day runs under the Shukla Paksha Panchami tithi with the Moon in Ashlesha nakshatra, and all auspicious and inauspicious windows are computed for Arainj-laka-punga itself, not borrowed from a generic India-time table.
The reason a generic almanac misleads is geometry. Arainj-laka-punga stands at 12.60°N, 92.72°E and runs on Asia/Kolkata time, so the Sun crosses its horizon on a schedule unlike any Indian city's. On 19 June 2026 the sun rises over Arainj-laka-punga at 4:54 AM and sets at 5:46 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, the eight choghadiya periods and Abhijit Muhurat are each cut from the interval between this local sunrise and sunset. Use IST figures in Arainj-laka-punga and every window lands at the wrong moment — and over a wide enough longitude gap, the date's tithi itself can change.
Behind the timings on this page is a precise pipeline: Swiss Ephemeris longitudes for the Sun and Moon, adjusted by the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa adopted in India's Rashtriya Panchang. The rule is simple — a tithi closes when the Moon is 12° further along than the Sun, a nakshatra when the Moon enters the next 13°20′ span. Those moments hold worldwide, so we translate each into Asia/Kolkata time and then compute Rahu Kalam, the choghadiya and the rest from Arainj-laka-punga's actual sunrise and sunset. See our methodology page for the full working.
For the Hindu community in Arainj-laka-punga and the wider Andaman and Nicobar Islands area, this page answers the practical questions: when to schedule a puja, griha pravesh, vehicle purchase, mundan or journey on Friday, 19 June 2026. Abhijit Muhurat (10:54 AM – 11:46 AM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (9:44 AM – 11:20 AM) is best avoided for new beginnings. For longer ceremonies, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — all in Arainj-laka-punga local time, so what you read is what your clock shows.
The tithi on 19 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Panchami. A tithi is one lunar day — the time the Moon takes to move 12° further from the Sun — and it governs which observances, fasts and ceremonies suit the day. End times on this page are converted to Arainj-laka-punga local time (Asia/Kolkata).
The Moon is in Ashlesha nakshatra. The zodiac is divided into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′ each; the one the Moon occupies colours the day's character and matters for naming ceremonies, travel decisions and muhurat selection in Arainj-laka-punga.
Today's yoga is Harshana. Yoga is computed from the combined longitudes of the Sun and Moon and cycles through 27 names; some yogas are read as favourable for new undertakings while others counsel routine work.
On 19 June 2026 the sun rises in Arainj-laka-punga at 4:54 AM and sets at 5:46 PM. Sunrise is the hinge of the whole panchang: the Hindu day begins at local sunrise, and Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika and the choghadiya sequence are all equal divisions of the daylight between these two moments.
