The tithi on 18 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Chaturthi. 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 Erondegem local time (Europe/Brussels).
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 Erondegem.
Today's yoga is Vyaghata. 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 18 June 2026 the sun rises in Erondegem at 5:29 AM and sets at 10:01 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.
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 Erondegem, Flanders. On 18 June 2026 the day unfolds under the Shukla Paksha Chaturthi tithi with the Moon in Pushya nakshatra. Because the timings are tied to Erondegem's own horizon (50.94°N, 3.96°E), they differ from the figures an Indian city would show.
Why does the city matter so much? Because nearly everything in a panchang is anchored to local sunrise. Erondegem lies at 50.94°N, 3.96°E and keeps Europe/Brussels time, so its days begin and end at different moments than any Indian city's. On 18 June 2026 the sun rises over Erondegem at 5:29 AM and sets at 10:01 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 Erondegem 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 Europe/Brussels time and then carve every sunrise-based window from Erondegem's own daylight. The full method is on our methodology page.
For families in Erondegem and across Flanders, this page turns the panchang into practical decisions for Thursday, 18 June 2026: which hour suits a puja, a griha pravesh, a mundan, a new vehicle or setting out on a trip. Abhijit Muhurat (1:12 PM – 2:18 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (3:49 PM – 5:53 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 Erondegem local time, so no IST arithmetic is needed.
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 Erondegem, Belgium.
The daylight between Erondegem'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 Erondegem's sunrise and day length differ from India's, its Rahu Kalam falls at different clock times than in Indian cities.
Rahu Kalam in Erondegem on 18 June 2026 is from 3:49 PM – 5:53 PM Flanders local time. It is computed from Erondegem's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.
The tithi is Shukla Paksha Chaturthi, until 3:31 PM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Erondegem's timezone (Europe/Brussels).
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Erondegem (50.94°, 3.96°) 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 Erondegem.
Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 1:12 PM – 2:18 PM local time in Erondegem.
