Today's Tithi in Caucaia

The tithi on 16 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Dvitiya. 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 Caucaia local time (America/Fortaleza).

Today's Nakshatra in Caucaia

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 Caucaia.

Today's Yoga in Caucaia

Today's yoga is Vriddhi. 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 Caucaia

On 16 June 2026 the sun rises in Caucaia at 5:38 AM and sets at 5:32 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 Caucaia

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 Caucaia, Ceará. On 16 June 2026 the day unfolds under the Shukla Paksha Dvitiya tithi with the Moon in Ardra nakshatra. Because the timings are tied to Caucaia's own horizon (3.74°S, 38.65°W), they differ from the figures an Indian city would show.

The reason a generic almanac misleads is geometry. Caucaia stands at 3.74°S, 38.65°W and runs on America/Fortaleza time, so the Sun crosses its horizon on a schedule unlike any Indian city's. On 16 June 2026 the sun rises over Caucaia at 5:38 AM and sets at 5:32 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 Caucaia 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 America/Fortaleza time and then compute Rahu Kalam, the choghadiya and the rest from Caucaia's actual sunrise and sunset. See our methodology page for the full working.

For the Hindu community in Caucaia and the wider Ceará 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 (11:11 AM – 11:59 AM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (2:34 PM – 4:03 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. For longer ceremonies, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — all in Caucaia 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 Caucaia, Brazil.

How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Caucaia?

The daylight between Caucaia'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 Caucaia'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 Caucaia on 16 June 2026?

Rahu Kalam in Caucaia on 16 June 2026 is from 2:34 PM – 4:03 PM Ceará local time. It is computed from Caucaia'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 Caucaia?

The tithi is Shukla Paksha Dvitiya, until 4:25 PM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Caucaia's timezone (America/Fortaleza).

Why is the panchang for Caucaia different from India?

All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Caucaia (-3.74°, -38.65°) 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 Caucaia.

What is the shubh muhurat in Caucaia on 16 June 2026?

Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 11:11 AM – 11:59 AM local time in Caucaia.
