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 Chik-Kolliga every day.
Today (18 June 2026) the tithi in Chik-Kolliga is Shukla Paksha Chaturthi, until 7:01 PM IST.
Rahu Kaal in Chik-Kolliga today is 1:56 PM – 3:33 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Chik-Kolliga'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 11:54 AM – 12:45 PM IST in Chik-Kolliga 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 Chik-Kolliga (13.16°N, 77.83°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Chik-Kolliga's own coordinates.
A panchang is the traditional Hindu almanac that maps each day through five limbs — tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (the constellation the Moon occupies), yoga, karana and vara (weekday). This page carries the complete panchang for Chik-Kolliga, Karnataka for 18 June 2026: today the Shukla Paksha Chaturthi tithi prevails with the Moon in Pushya nakshatra, and every muhurat and kaal window below is worked out for Chik-Kolliga's own sky rather than copied from an Indian city's almanac.
A panchang is only as accurate as the place it is cast for. Sitting at 13.16°N, 77.83°E on Asia/Kolkata time, Chik-Kolliga keeps its own daily rhythm, distinct from Delhi or Mumbai. On 18 June 2026 the sun rises over Chik-Kolliga at 5:52 AM and sets at 6:46 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and every sunrise-bound window — Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, the choghadiya spells and Abhijit Muhurat — is measured off that local daylight. Borrow an IST table here and each window slips to the wrong hour; widen the gap enough and the very tithi on your date can differ.
Where do these timings come from? Planetary positions are read from the Swiss Ephemeris, the same high-precision dataset used by leading astrology programs, and corrected with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa — the sidereal standard of India's official Rashtriya Panchang. Tithi advances each time the Moon pulls 12° further ahead of the Sun; nakshatra advances as the Moon enters the next 13°20′ division. These instants are universal; we render each in Asia/Kolkata time and derive the sunrise-linked windows from Chik-Kolliga's real horizon. Details live on our methodology page.
Diaspora households in Chik-Kolliga and the wider Karnataka area often face the hardest question last: what is the right time? On Thursday, 18 June 2026, this page settles it — for a puja, housewarming, naming, vehicle purchase or journey alike. Abhijit Muhurat (11:54 AM – 12:45 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (1:56 PM – 3:33 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. Use the choghadiya tables above to find a clear stretch for longer rituals; each timing already reflects Chik-Kolliga's own clock.
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 Chik-Kolliga 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 Chik-Kolliga.
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 Chik-Kolliga at 5:52 AM and sets at 6:46 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.
