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 Ct 0019 local time (America/Toronto).
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 Ct 0019.
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.
On 16 June 2026 the sun rises in Ct 0019 at 5:04 AM and sets at 8:45 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 Ct 0019, Quebec. 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 Ct 0019's own horizon (45.55°N, 73.54°W), 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. Ct 0019 lies at 45.55°N, 73.54°W and keeps America/Toronto time, so its days begin and end at different moments than any Indian city's. On 16 June 2026 the sun rises over Ct 0019 at 5:04 AM and sets at 8:45 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 Ct 0019 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 America/Toronto time and then carve every sunrise-based window from Ct 0019's own daylight. The full method is on our methodology page.
For families in Ct 0019 and across Quebec, 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 (12:23 PM – 1:26 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (4:50 PM – 6:47 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 Ct 0019 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 Ct 0019, Canada.
The daylight between Ct 0019'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 Ct 0019's sunrise and day length differ from India's, its Rahu Kalam falls at different clock times than in Indian cities.
Rahu Kalam in Ct 0019 on 16 June 2026 is from 4:50 PM – 6:47 PM Quebec local time. It is computed from Ct 0019's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.
The tithi is Shukla Paksha Dvitiya, until 3:25 PM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Ct 0019's timezone (America/Toronto).
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Ct 0019 (45.55°, -73.54°) 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 Ct 0019.
Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 12:23 PM – 1:26 PM local time in Ct 0019.
