Frequently Asked Questions

What is a panchang?

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 Aravancheri every day.

What is the tithi today in Aravancheri?

Today (18 June 2026) the tithi in Aravancheri is Shukla Paksha Chaturthi, until 7:01 PM IST.

What time is Rahu Kaal in Aravancheri today?

Rahu Kaal in Aravancheri today is 2:03 PM – 3:38 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Aravancheri's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.

What is the shubh muhurat in Aravancheri today?

Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 12:01 PM – 12:52 PM IST in Aravancheri today. For longer ceremonies, also check the auspicious choghadiya periods listed on this page.

Why is the panchang slightly different for each city?

Sunrise-based periods — Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, choghadiya, Abhijit Muhurat — are fractions of the local day length, and sunrise in Aravancheri (10.91°N, 75.96°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Aravancheri's own coordinates.

About Panchang in Aravancheri

A panchang answers a simple question — what does today favour? — through five limbs: tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and vara. This is the complete panchang for Aravancheri, Kerala on 18 June 2026, when the Shukla Paksha Chaturthi tithi prevails and the Moon sits in Pushya nakshatra. Every auspicious and inauspicious window shown here is calculated from Aravancheri's own sky at 10.91°N, 75.96°E, never recycled from a generic IST panchang.

Here is why this page is computed for Aravancheri and not merely translated from an Indian almanac: the panchang's machinery turns on local sunrise. At 10.91°N, 75.96°E on Asia/Kolkata time, Aravancheri's day starts and ends at its own hours. On 18 June 2026 the sun rises over Aravancheri at 6:04 AM and sets at 6:50 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and the inauspicious periods — Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika — along with the choghadiya sequence and Abhijit Muhurat are all slices of that local daylight, so each sits at a different clock time than it would in India. A large timezone offset can even move the tithi onto a different calendar date.

How these timings are calculated: planetary longitudes come from the Swiss Ephemeris, the same high-precision library used by professional astrology software, with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa — the sidereal reference adopted by India's official Rashtriya Panchang. Tithi changes when the Moon moves 12° ahead of the Sun; nakshatra changes as the Moon crosses each 13°20′ arc of the zodiac. These transition moments are universal, and we convert each one into Asia/Kolkata local time, then derive sunrise-dependent windows from Aravancheri's own horizon. The full method is documented on our methodology page.

If you live in Aravancheri or elsewhere in Kerala, use this page the way a family priest would: check the tithi and nakshatra first, then choose your hour. Abhijit Muhurat (12:01 PM – 12:52 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (2:03 PM – 3:38 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above divide Thursday's daylight and night into auspicious and inauspicious spells — every figure already in Aravancheri local time, with no conversion from IST required.

Today's Tithi in Aravancheri

The tithi on 18 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Chaturthi. 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 Aravancheri local time (Asia/Kolkata).

Today's Nakshatra in Aravancheri

The Moon is in Pushya 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 Aravancheri.

Today's Yoga in Aravancheri

Today's yoga is Vyaghata. 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.

Sunrise and Sunset in Aravancheri

On 18 June 2026 the sun rises in Aravancheri at 6:04 AM and sets at 6:50 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.
