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 Baraith every day.
Today (15 June 2026) the tithi in Baraith is Krishna Paksha Amavasya, until 8:26 AM IST.
Rahu Kaal in Baraith today is 6:37 AM – 8:20 AM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Baraith'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 11:18 AM – 12:13 PM IST in Baraith 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 Baraith (25.48°N, 86.20°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Baraith's own coordinates.
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 Baraith, Bihar. On 15 June 2026 the day unfolds under the Krishna Paksha Amavasya tithi with the Moon in Mrigashira nakshatra. Because the timings are tied to Baraith's own horizon (25.48°N, 86.20°E), they differ from the figures an Indian city would show.
The reason a generic almanac misleads is geometry. Baraith stands at 25.48°N, 86.20°E and runs on Asia/Kolkata time, so the Sun crosses its horizon on a schedule unlike any Indian city's. On 15 June 2026 the sun rises over Baraith at 4:54 AM and sets at 6:37 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 Baraith 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 Baraith's actual sunrise and sunset. See our methodology page for the full working.
For the Hindu community in Baraith and the wider Bihar area, this page answers the practical questions: when to schedule a puja, griha pravesh, vehicle purchase, mundan or journey on Monday, 15 June 2026. Abhijit Muhurat (11:18 AM – 12:13 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (6:37 AM – 8:20 AM) is best avoided for new beginnings. For longer ceremonies, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — all in Baraith local time, so what you read is what your clock shows.
The tithi on 15 June 2026 is Krishna Paksha Amavasya. 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 Baraith local time (Asia/Kolkata).
The Moon is in Mrigashira 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 Baraith.
Today's yoga is Shula. 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 15 June 2026 the sun rises in Baraith at 4:54 AM and sets at 6:37 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.
