Barvala-Baval Panchang · 16 June 2026

About Panchang in Barvala-Baval

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 Barvala-Baval, Gujarat on 16 June 2026: the day runs under the Shukla Paksha Dvitiya tithi with the Moon in Ardra nakshatra, and all auspicious and inauspicious windows are computed for Barvala-Baval itself, not borrowed from a generic India-time table.

Why does the city matter so much? Because nearly everything in a panchang is anchored to local sunrise. Barvala-Baval lies at 21.72°N, 70.83°E and keeps Asia/Kolkata time, so its days begin and end at different moments than any Indian city's. On 16 June 2026 the sun rises over Barvala-Baval at 6:03 AM and sets at 7:31 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, the eight choghadiya periods and Abhijit Muhurat are all fractions of that local daylight. Reading an India-time panchang in Barvala-Baval would put every one of those windows at the wrong local hour — and across a timezone gap, even the tithi in force on a given date can change.

A word on accuracy: every figure here is computed, not transcribed. Sun and Moon longitudes come from the Swiss Ephemeris — the precision engine behind professional jyotish software — referenced to the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa that India's Rashtriya Panchang adopts. The Moon gaining 12° on the Sun marks each new tithi; crossing the next 13°20′ arc marks each new nakshatra. We convert those universal moments to Asia/Kolkata time and then carve every sunrise-based window from Barvala-Baval's own daylight. The full method is on our methodology page.

For families in Barvala-Baval and across Gujarat, this page turns the panchang into practical decisions for Tuesday, 16 June 2026: which hour suits a puja, a griha pravesh, a mundan, a new vehicle or setting out on a trip. Abhijit Muhurat (12:20 PM – 1:14 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (4:09 PM – 5:50 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. When a ceremony needs a longer stretch, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — every entry is in Barvala-Baval local time, so no IST arithmetic is needed.
