Today's Tithi in Pooraka
The tithi on 16 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Pratipada. 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 Pooraka local time (Australia/Adelaide).
Today's Nakshatra in Pooraka
The Moon is in Ardra 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 Pooraka.
Today's Yoga in Pooraka
Today's yoga is Ganda. 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 Pooraka
On 16 June 2026 the sun rises in Pooraka at 7:21 AM and sets at 5:11 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 Pooraka
The five limbs of the panchang — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and vara — have guided Hindu timekeeping for millennia, and this page works all five out specifically for Pooraka, South Australia. On 16 June 2026 the day unfolds under the Shukla Paksha Pratipada tithi with the Moon in Ardra nakshatra. Because the timings are tied to Pooraka's own horizon (34.82°S, 138.63°E), they differ from the figures an Indian city would show.
The reason a generic almanac misleads is geometry. Pooraka stands at 34.82°S, 138.63°E and runs on Australia/Adelaide time, so the Sun crosses its horizon on a schedule unlike any Indian city's. On 16 June 2026 the sun rises over Pooraka at 7:21 AM and sets at 5:11 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 Pooraka 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 Australia/Adelaide time and then compute Rahu Kalam, the choghadiya and the rest from Pooraka's actual sunrise and sunset. See our methodology page for the full working.
For the Hindu community in Pooraka and the wider South Australia area, this page answers the practical questions: when to schedule a puja, griha pravesh, vehicle purchase, mundan or journey on Tuesday, 16 June 2026. Abhijit Muhurat (11:56 AM – 12:35 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (2:43 PM – 3:57 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. For longer ceremonies, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — all in Pooraka local time, so what you read is what your clock shows.
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 Pooraka, Australia.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Pooraka?
The daylight between Pooraka'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 Pooraka'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 Pooraka on 16 June 2026?
Rahu Kalam in Pooraka on 16 June 2026 is from 2:43 PM – 3:57 PM South Australia local time. It is computed from Pooraka's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.
What is the tithi on 16 June 2026 in Pooraka?
The tithi is Shukla Paksha Pratipada, until 8:33 AM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Pooraka's timezone (Australia/Adelaide).
Why is the panchang for Pooraka different from India?
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Pooraka (-34.82°, 138.63°) 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 Pooraka.
What is the shubh muhurat in Pooraka on 16 June 2026?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 11:56 AM – 12:35 PM local time in Pooraka.
