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 derives from them the day's auspicious and inauspicious periods. This page computes all of them for Chik-maskallu every day.
What is the tithi today in Chik-maskallu?
Today (18 June 2026) the tithi in Chik-maskallu is Shukla Paksha Chaturthi, until 7:01 PM IST.
What time is Rahu Kaal in Chik-maskallu today?
Rahu Kaal in Chik-maskallu today is 1:58 PM – 3:35 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Chik-maskallu's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.
What is the shubh muhurat in Chik-maskallu today?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 11:56 AM – 12:47 PM IST in Chik-maskallu today. For longer ceremonies, also check the auspicious choghadiya periods listed on this page.
Why is the panchang slightly different for each city?
Sunrise-based periods — Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, choghadiya, Abhijit Muhurat — are fractions of the local day length, and sunrise in Chik-maskallu (12.92°N, 77.32°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Chik-maskallu's own coordinates.
About Panchang in Chik-maskallu
Every traditional Hindu day is read through five limbs — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and the weekday (vara) — which together make up the panchang, literally "five limbs". This page sets out all five for Chik-maskallu, Karnataka on 18 June 2026: the Shukla Paksha Chaturthi tithi is in force with the Moon travelling through Pushya nakshatra. Crucially, every muhurat and kaal below is derived from Chik-maskallu's own sunrise at 12.92°N, 77.32°E, not lifted from an India-time almanac.
Why does the city matter so much? Because nearly everything in a panchang is anchored to local sunrise. Chik-maskallu lies at 12.92°N, 77.32°E and keeps Asia/Kolkata time, so its days begin and end at different moments than any Indian city's. On 18 June 2026 the sun rises over Chik-maskallu at 5:55 AM and sets at 6:48 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 Chik-maskallu 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 Asia/Kolkata time and then carve every sunrise-based window from Chik-maskallu's own daylight. The full method is on our methodology page.
For families in Chik-maskallu and across Karnataka, this page turns the panchang into practical decisions for Thursday, 18 June 2026: which hour suits a puja, a griha pravesh, a mundan, a new vehicle or setting out on a trip. Abhijit Muhurat (11:56 AM – 12:47 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (1:58 PM – 3:35 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 Chik-maskallu local time, so no IST arithmetic is needed.
Today's Tithi in Chik-maskallu
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-maskallu local time (Asia/Kolkata).
Today's Nakshatra in Chik-maskallu
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-maskallu.
Today's Yoga in Chik-maskallu
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.
Sunrise and Sunset in Chik-maskallu
On 18 June 2026 the sun rises in Chik-maskallu at 5:55 AM and sets at 6:48 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.
