Today's Tithi in Chalk River
The tithi on 15 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Pratipada. 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 Chalk River local time (America/Toronto).
Today's Nakshatra in Chalk River
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 Chalk River.
Today's Yoga in Chalk River
Today's yoga is Ganda. 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 Chalk River
On 15 June 2026 the sun rises in Chalk River at 5:18 AM and sets at 9:02 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 Chalk River
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 Chalk River, Ontario on 15 June 2026: the day runs under the Shukla Paksha Pratipada tithi with the Moon in Mrigashira nakshatra, and all auspicious and inauspicious windows are computed for Chalk River itself, not borrowed from a generic India-time table.
Here is why this page is computed for Chalk River and not merely translated from an Indian almanac: the panchang's machinery turns on local sunrise. At 46.02°N, 77.45°W on America/Toronto time, Chalk River's day starts and ends at its own hours. On 15 June 2026 the sun rises over Chalk River at 5:18 AM and sets at 9:02 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 America/Toronto local time, then derive sunrise-dependent windows from Chalk River's own horizon. The full method is documented on our methodology page.
If you live in Chalk River or elsewhere in Ontario, use this page the way a family priest would: check the tithi and nakshatra first, then choose your hour. Abhijit Muhurat (12:38 PM – 1:41 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (7:16 AM – 9:14 AM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above divide Monday's daylight and night into auspicious and inauspicious spells — every figure already in Chalk River local time, with no conversion from IST required.
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 Chalk River, Canada.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Chalk River?
The daylight between Chalk River'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 Chalk River'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 Chalk River on 15 June 2026?
Rahu Kalam in Chalk River on 15 June 2026 is from 7:16 AM – 9:14 AM Ontario local time. It is computed from Chalk River's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.
What is the tithi on 15 June 2026 in Chalk River?
The tithi is Shukla Paksha Pratipada, until 7:03 PM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Chalk River's timezone (America/Toronto).
Why is the panchang for Chalk River different from India?
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Chalk River (46.02°, -77.45°) 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 Chalk River.
What is the shubh muhurat in Chalk River on 15 June 2026?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 12:38 PM – 1:41 PM local time in Chalk River.
