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 Chauki Chiphat every day.
Today (18 June 2026) the tithi in Chauki Chiphat is Shukla Paksha Chaturthi, until 7:01 PM IST.
Rahu Kaal in Chauki Chiphat today is 1:50 PM – 3:34 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Chauki Chiphat's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.
Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 11:39 AM – 12:34 PM IST in Chauki Chiphat today. For longer ceremonies, also check the auspicious choghadiya periods listed on this page.
Sunrise-based periods — Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, choghadiya, Abhijit Muhurat — are fractions of the local day length, and sunrise in Chauki Chiphat (26.88°N, 81.03°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Chauki Chiphat's own coordinates.
Think of the panchang as the Hindu day's instruction sheet: five limbs — tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (the Moon's mansion), yoga, karana and vara — that tell you what each day favours. For Chauki Chiphat, Uttar Pradesh on 18 June 2026 the sheet reads Shukla Paksha Chaturthi tithi with the Moon in Pushya nakshatra. Every window further down is computed for Chauki Chiphat's location (26.88°N, 81.03°E) rather than copied from a standard Indian-city table.
City-specific calculation is not a nicety; it changes the answers. Chauki Chiphat sits at 26.88°N, 81.03°E in the Asia/Kolkata timezone, so its sunrise, sunset and day length differ from Delhi's or Mumbai's. On 18 June 2026 the sun rises over Chauki Chiphat at 5:12 AM and sets at 7:02 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and since Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, choghadiya and Abhijit Muhurat are all carved out of the local interval between sunrise and sunset, each of those windows lands at a different clock time here than in India. Even the prevailing tithi on your calendar date can differ, because tithi boundaries fall at fixed moments worldwide that convert to different local dates across timezones.
The numbers on this page are drik-siddha — derived from observed planetary positions rather than older mean-motion tables. We compute Sun and Moon longitudes with the Swiss Ephemeris and apply the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa used by the Indian government's Rashtriya Panchang. A tithi ends when the Moon gains a further 12° on the Sun, a nakshatra when the Moon crosses into the next 13°20′ segment; those instants are then expressed in Asia/Kolkata time, and all sunrise-based periods are cut from Chauki Chiphat's actual daylight. Our methodology page explains every step.

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 Chauki Chiphat local time (Asia/Kolkata).
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 Chauki Chiphat.
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 Chauki Chiphat at 5:12 AM and sets at 7:02 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.
