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 Basantpur Kakrahta every day.

What is the tithi today in Basantpur Kakrahta?

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

What time is Rahu Kaal in Basantpur Kakrahta today?

Rahu Kaal in Basantpur Kakrahta today is 1:32 PM – 3:16 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Basantpur Kakrahta's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.

What is the shubh muhurat in Basantpur Kakrahta today?

Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 11:22 AM – 12:17 PM IST in Basantpur Kakrahta 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 Basantpur Kakrahta (25.67°N, 85.34°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Basantpur Kakrahta's own coordinates.

About Panchang in Basantpur Kakrahta

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 Basantpur Kakrahta, Bihar on 18 June 2026: the day runs under the Shukla Paksha Chaturthi tithi with the Moon in Pushya nakshatra, and all auspicious and inauspicious windows are computed for Basantpur Kakrahta itself, not borrowed from a generic India-time table.

Here is why this page is computed for Basantpur Kakrahta and not merely translated from an Indian almanac: the panchang's machinery turns on local sunrise. At 25.67°N, 85.34°E on Asia/Kolkata time, Basantpur Kakrahta's day starts and ends at its own hours. On 18 June 2026 the sun rises over Basantpur Kakrahta at 4:57 AM and sets at 6:42 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 Basantpur Kakrahta's own horizon. The full method is documented on our methodology page.

If you live in Basantpur Kakrahta or elsewhere in Bihar, use this page the way a family priest would: check the tithi and nakshatra first, then choose your hour. Abhijit Muhurat (11:22 AM – 12:17 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (1:32 PM – 3:16 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 Basantpur Kakrahta local time, with no conversion from IST required.

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 Basantpur Kakrahta.

Sunrise and Sunset in Basantpur Kakrahta

On 18 June 2026 the sun rises in Basantpur Kakrahta at 4:57 AM and sets at 6:42 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.
