Today's Tithi in Mount Saint Thomas
The tithi on 17 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Tritiya. 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 Mount Saint Thomas local time (Australia/Sydney).
Today's Nakshatra in Mount Saint Thomas
The Moon is in Punarvasu 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 Mount Saint Thomas.
Today's Yoga in Mount Saint Thomas
Today's yoga is Dhruva. 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 Mount Saint Thomas
On 17 June 2026 the sun rises in Mount Saint Thomas at 7:01 AM and sets at 4:53 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.
About Panchang in Mount Saint Thomas
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 Mount Saint Thomas, New South Wales on 17 June 2026, when the Shukla Paksha Tritiya tithi prevails and the Moon sits in Punarvasu nakshatra. Every auspicious and inauspicious window shown here is calculated from Mount Saint Thomas's own sky at 34.44°S, 150.87°E, never recycled from a generic IST panchang.
Here is why this page is computed for Mount Saint Thomas and not merely translated from an Indian almanac: the panchang's machinery turns on local sunrise. At 34.44°S, 150.87°E on Australia/Sydney time, Mount Saint Thomas's day starts and ends at its own hours. On 17 June 2026 the sun rises over Mount Saint Thomas at 7:01 AM and sets at 4:53 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 Australia/Sydney local time, then derive sunrise-dependent windows from Mount Saint Thomas's own horizon. The full method is documented on our methodology page.
If you live in Mount Saint Thomas or elsewhere in New South Wales, use this page the way a family priest would: check the tithi and nakshatra first, then choose your hour. Abhijit Muhurat (11:37 AM – 12:17 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (11:57 AM – 1:11 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above divide Wednesday's daylight and night into auspicious and inauspicious spells — every figure already in Mount Saint Thomas local time, with no conversion from IST required.
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 from them derives the day's auspicious (muhurat) and inauspicious (Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda) periods. This page computes all of them for Mount Saint Thomas, Australia.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Mount Saint Thomas?
The daylight between Mount Saint Thomas's local sunrise and sunset is divided into eight equal parts, and one fixed part belongs to Rahu depending on the weekday (for example the 8th part on Sunday, the 2nd on Monday). Because Mount Saint Thomas's sunrise and day length differ from India's, its Rahu Kalam falls at different clock times than in Indian cities.
What time is Rahu Kalam in Mount Saint Thomas on 17 June 2026?
Rahu Kalam in Mount Saint Thomas on 17 June 2026 is from 11:57 AM – 1:11 PM New South Wales local time. It is computed from Mount Saint Thomas's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.
What is the tithi on 17 June 2026 in Mount Saint Thomas?
The tithi is Shukla Paksha Tritiya, until 2:11 AM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Mount Saint Thomas's timezone (Australia/Sydney).
Why is the panchang for Mount Saint Thomas different from India?
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Mount Saint Thomas (-34.44°, 150.87°) has different sun times than India, so Rahu Kalam, choghadiya and muhurat windows shift — and because of the time difference, even the tithi prevailing on your calendar date can differ from India's. This page is computed specifically for Mount Saint Thomas.
